Consider an isolated population of humans in which some individuals are infected with a specific parasite species

Question:

Consider an isolated population of humans in which some individuals are infected with a specific parasite species (e.g., malaria or a filarial worm). Think of two biological hypotheses for why the number of parasite individuals per person may not be well described by a Poisson distribution. Which assumptions of the Poisson distribution are likely violated by the process you propose, and how would the frequency distribution likely be affected?
