Yes, seasonal cycles can be considered a form of density-dependent limiting factor. As populations increase during certain seasons, resources may become more limited, impacting population growth and survival. This dependence on population density for resource availability is a key characteristic of density-dependent factors.
Parasites can limit the growth of a population. They take nourishment from their hosts, often weakening them and causing disease or death. As the population of parasites grow, the population of their hosts tend to decrease.

The "Coggins Test" screens the blood sample for exposure to the virus causing Equine Infections Anemia. This is a serious and often fatal disease that is spread by blood sucking flies. If an affected horse is bitten by such a fly he can then transmit the virus to another nearby horse. Horses that are "Coggins Positive" may not show any signs of clinical disease but act as a reservoir for other flies to bite and thus spread the virus to many other horses. If the horse starts to get sick, the signs of the disease are fever, depression, weight loss, anemia, and dependent edema (stocking up). Most states require that horses moving through the state have a Coggins taken every year - some states are six months, so check with your vet.
The tsetse fly is known to transmit a parasitic infection called trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in animals. This disease can be serious if left untreated, causing symptoms such as fever, headaches, joint pain, and in some cases, neurological problems.
Viruses - they are unable to replicate outside of a host cell.

A disease-causing substance, often referred to as a pathogen, is any agent that can lead to disease in a host organism. This includes bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and prions. These substances can disrupt normal biological functions, provoke immune responses, and lead to various health issues. Additionally, non-living agents such as toxins and chemicals can also be considered disease-causing substances when they induce harmful effects in the body.
Disease is Density dependent.
Antibiotics are substances that can kill disease-causing organisms, such as bacteria. They work by targeting specific components or functions within the bacteria, ultimately leading to their destruction. It's important to use antibiotics judiciously and only as prescribed by a healthcare professional to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Tar. Tar is a thick, black fluid that contains many cancer-causing substances but is the flavoring in cigarettes.
