Question
Several studies concluded that there is great heterogeneity in biting frequency, meaning that some people/populations get bitten a whole lot while others are fairly rarely bitten. Which of the following statements concerning these observations is probably WRONG?
- The variability in R0 shows that this measure really has limited value, it is too variable
- If we can identify the people that are bitten most, a strategy could focus on protecting/curing those people
- Eradication may not be possible in populations where R0 is very high

Step 1 Variation of trait and Strategy for protection of population
Variation in organismal traits has fuelled decades of ecological studies which have the agenda to
(a) classify and compare organismal characteristics, and
(b) explore the mechanisms behind such a variation as well as its ecological, evolutionary and conservation implications.
