Document Summary
Exam will be monday before thanksgiving break. Cultural practices: animal husbandry, slash-and-burn agriculture, bushmeat consumption. A noticeable player in bring ebola into communities. Edward o. wilson: biologist, wrote about declining species diversity, main focus was on ants. Deforestation: previously unrecognized infections are typically found in ecologically disturbed areas. Deer ticks and lyme disease unique because usually affects more af uent people rather than the poor: major insect vectors groups depend on forest and woodland savanna ecosystems. The more diversity you have, so the ones that carry diseases are more likely to not have such large numbers, lowering the danger: forest edges places where animal reservoirs thrive. Agricultural development: hosts and disease vectors likely to reside around forest clearings/forest- eld edges, creates pools of water. Not sustainable in terms of good agriculture production. Irrigation systems also are not good, standing water, dirty, often not maintained. Urbanization: wetland drainage and land lls, air pollution.
