Density dependent, since the contagiousness of the epidemic depends on the density of the population.
An antonym for a density-dependent limiting factor is a density-independent limiting factor. While density-dependent factors, such as disease or competition, have effects that vary based on population density, density-independent factors, like natural disasters or climate conditions, impact populations regardless of their density. This distinction highlights how different factors can influence population dynamics in ecological systems.

A density dependent factor is a limiting factor that depends on population size. A Density-independent limiting factor affects all populations in similar ways, regardless of the population size. Its in my biology book.
Density dependent. Imagine a small room tightly packed with dogs, and only one of the dogs has fleas. Since the dogs are so close together, the fleas can easily jump from one dog to another dog. However, in a large room with only 5 dogs, only one of the dogs having fleas, the dogs are free to roam more and the fleas can't be transferred as easily. Hope this helps :)
The two types of limiting factors are density-dependent factors, which increase in intensity as population density increases, and density-independent factors, which affect populations regardless of their density. Examples of density-dependent factors include competition for resources and disease, while examples of density-independent factors include natural disasters and climate change.
Density-independent deaths are those deaths caused by an event that is not related to the population density in which the deaths occurred. For instance, death by lightning strike would be density-independent because the chance of a lightning strike does not increase when there are more people in that area. An example of density-dependent deaths would be an epidemic of influenza. The influenza virus travels from person to person, so if there are more people in an area there are more that can become infected and therefore more that can die from influenza. In rural areas, where population density is low, influenza tends to be stopped because there aren't enough people to keep the infection going.
