Disease ecology has the potential to help build a new society where contradictions of our time are recognized and confronted in pursuit more considered, just, understanding interrelationships organisms with environment. Unfortunately, discipline is facing major dilemma as advent technologies, access remote data, lack engagement contexts diseases emerge transmitted, resulted creation Blame Local Indigenous Peasant Populations (BLIPP) narratives that align hegemonic globalizing agents processes. Here, first half two-part essay about reifications disease ecology, thinking dialectical materialism, we demystify BLIPP around land use change emergence.

Land-cover, land-use and human hantavirus infection risk: a systematic review

Pathogens and Global Health, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 118(5), P. 361 - 375

Published: Oct. 24, 2023

Previous studies suggest that the risk of human infection by hantavirus, a family rodent-borne viruses, might be affected different environmental determinants such as land cover, use and change. This study examined association between land-cover, land-use, change, hantavirus risk. PubMed Scopus databases were interrogated using terms relative to (change) disease. Screening selection articles completed three independent reviewers. Classes assessed categorized into macro-categories exposure ('Agriculture', 'Forest Cover', 'Urban Areas') qualitatively synthesize direction variables in humans. A total 25 included, with 14 (56%) conducted China, 4 (16%) South America 7 (28%) Europe. Most (88%) evaluated cover or use, while 3 (12%) all relation We observed land-use categories could affect incidence. Overall, agricultural was positively associated increased risk, particularly China Brazil. In Europe, positive forest incidence observed. Studies relationship built-up areas more variable, reporting positive, negative no associations.

Host-pathogen-vector continuum in a changing landscape: Drivers ofBartonellaprevalence and evidence of historic spillover in a multi-host community

Abstract Small mammals and their ectoparasites present a unique system to investigate the eco-epidemiology of multi-host vector-borne pathogens identify specific bacterial spillover determinants. We applied ecological evolutionary analyses in rainforest-human-use mosaic Bartonella spp. across small mammal ectoparasite communities. observed substantial overlap among communities different habitat types, predominantly driven by generalists. Most were generalists, infecting multiple hosts. high prevalence at both study sites –a forest-plantation (47.4%) protected area (28.8%).
