The Human Environment Interface: Applying Ecosystem Concepts to Health

摘要: One Health approaches have tended to focus on closer collaboration among veterinarians and medical professionals, but remain unclear about how ecological could be applied or they might benefit public health disease control. In this chapter, we review concepts, discuss their relevance health, with an emphasis emerging infectious diseases (EIDs). Despite the fact that most EIDs originate in wildlife, few studies account for population, community, ecosystem ecology of host, reservoir, vector. The dimensions propose chapter are, essence, networks population dynamics, community structure, matrices incorporating concepts complexity, resilience, biogeochemical processes.
