Potential Distribution of Dengue Fever Under Scenarios of Climate Change and Economic DevelopmentEcoHealth - Tập 9 - Trang 448-454 - 2013
Christofer Åström, Joacim Rocklöv, Simon Hales, Andreas Béguin, Valerie Louis, Rainer Sauerborn
Dengue fever is the most important viral vector-borne disease with ~50 million
cases per year globally. Previous estimates of the potential effect of global
climate change on the distribution of vector-borne disease have not incorporated
the effect of socioeconomic factors, which may have biased the results. We
describe an empirical model of the current geographic distribution of dengue,
based on ... hiện toàn bộ
Prioritizing a One Health Approach in the Immediate Fight Against Antimicrobial ResistanceEcoHealth - Tập 16 - Trang 410-413 - 2018
V. Ayano Ogawa, Cecilia M. Shah, James M. Hughes, Lonnie J. King
Antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to global health security. While the
global community has made recent advances to mitigate the threat of
antimicrobial resistance, we continue to face challenges in creating solutions
and concrete actions that will yield the greatest immediate impact. To examine
the critical areas in human, animal and environmental health that contribute to
the emergence ... hiện toàn bộ
A Case–Control Study of Environmental and Occupational Risks of Leptospirosis in Sri LankaEcoHealth - Tập 16 - Trang 534-543 - 2019
Marie Hellung Schønning, Matthew David Phelps, Janith Warnasekara, Suneth B. Agampodi, Peter Furu
Sri Lanka has one of the highest incidences of human leptospirosis worldwide.
Outbreaks of this zoonotic infection are related to the monsoons and flooding.
The study investigates risk factors associated with environmental, animal and
occupational exposure while acknowledging the potential bias due to hanta viral
infections in the study samples. Data were obtained from structured interviews
with 4... hiện toàn bộ
Three Gorges Dam and Its Impact on the Potential Transmission of Schistosomiasis in Regions along the Yangtze RiverEcoHealth - Tập 5 - Trang 137-148 - 2008
Huai-Min Zhu, Shuo Xiang, Kun Yang, Xiao-Hua Wu, Xiao-Nong Zhou
Large-scale hydroprojects have a propensity for incurring schistosomiasis
epidemics by altering the environments of their vicinities. As the construction
of the Three Gorges Dam, one of the world’s largest hydroprojects to date, draws
near its conclusion, an assessment of the dam’s capacity in causing
schistosomiasis becomes more urgent and pressing. This article reviews recent
investigations into... hiện toàn bộ
Neurotoxic Sequelae of Mercury Exposure: An Intervention and Follow-up Study in the Brazilian AmazonEcoHealth - - 2011

Since 1995, the Caruso Project used an Ecosystem Approach to Human Health to
examine mercury (Hg) exposure in fish-eating communities in the Brazilian Amazon
and develop interventions to maximise nutrition from traditional diet and
minimise toxic risk. In 1995, 2000 and 2006, this study followed fish
consumption, Hg levels, and visual and motor functions in 31 villagers.

Egg Oiling to Reduce Hatch-Year Ring-Billed Gull Numbers on Chicago’s Beaches During Swim Season and Water Quality Test ResultsEcoHealth - Tập 9 - Trang 195-204 - 2012
Richard M. Engeman, John W. Hartmann, Scott F. Beckerman, Thomas W. Seamans, Sarah Abu-Absi
A burgeoning ring-billed gull population along Chicago’s Lake Michigan beaches
contributes to degraded water quality through fecal contamination. Egg oiling
was conducted at Chicago’s gull colonies to reduce production and the influx of
hatch-year (HY) gulls using Chicago’s beaches, with a second, long-term
objective of eventually reducing adult gull numbers through attrition. We also
investigated... hiện toàn bộ
