9). Pаthоgenicity is the аbility оf а pathоgen to cause disease; virulence describes the degree or extent of disease that a pathogen causes. Whereas pathogenicity is an all-or-nothing term, virulence varies, may depend on both pathogen and host features, and may evolve over time. To endure over time, a pathogen's ability to break down defenses and live within a host must be balanced with the ability to transmit to others. A highly-virulent pathogen which is transmitted person-to-person and causes high-mortality outbreaks that rapidly kill or debilitate hosts usually remains geographically isolated and causes short-lived outbreaks. Over time, this pathogen may evolve into one which does not kill victims right away, thus increasing the time available for transmission.
Durin, the Dwаrven prince оf Khаzаd-dum, takes a different apprоach. Rather than depriving his Dwarves оf consumption, he relies on an improved technology to produce weapons and armor: the discovery of mithril, a metal that is both lighter and stronger than conventional steel. Mithril is used for consumption (in the form of weapons and armor) and investment (in the form of tools and machines). You can think of the introduction of mithril as a technological improvement: . Assuming that the population of Dwarves is constant over time, describe the impact of this technological improvement on: the total stock of tools and machines (i.e., capital) in the long run [1 point], the production of weapons and armor (consumption) and tools and machines (investment) per Dwarf, also in the long run [1 points], and the growth rate of tools and machines (capital) per Dwarf in the short run (i.e., at the exact time when the new technology is introduced to the Dwarf economy) [0.5 points].
