Concept introduction:
The carrying capacity of a population is the maximum number of the species which can survive in the presence of the ambient conditions of temperature, nutrients and oxygen. The presence of pathogens like bacteria and viruses cause infection in the organisms leading to their death. This causes the reduction in the survivorship curves and the growth curves of the organisms.
