Ecology of dental disease

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1976
AbstractTrace elements in the dental enamel of 43 prehistoric Indians from Illinois, Maryland and Virginia show concentration differences by age, sex and geographical locality. Sample areas on an incisor or first molar were blocked off with paraffin, washed twice with distilled water and etched 7 times with 6N HCl. An optical emission spectrophotometer

Functional Ecology of Forest Disease

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2020
Global change is pressing forest pathologists to solve increasingly complex problems. We argue that understanding interactive effects between forest pathogens and global warming, globalization, and land-use changes may benefit from a functional ecology mindset.

The Political Ecology of Disease

Review of Radical Political Economics, 1977
Current medical definitions of health and disease are inadequate for an understanding of public health problems. The narrowest attribute causa tion to agents of disease (e.g., germ theory); the widest (e.g., medical ecology) take into account some social factors like behavior and culture. All focus on the individual rather than the collectivity.

HUMAN ECOLOGY, DISEASE, AND SCHIZOPHRENIA

American Journal of Psychiatry, 1960
The thesis herein offered is that when inappropriate in kind or amount, the adaptive reactions evoked in an individual in response to threat can result in impairment of organ function and in some instances to tissue damage. Evidence will be cited to show that the functional capacity of the brain also may be restricted following prolonged unsuccessful ...

The ecology of tick-borne diseases

International Journal for Parasitology, 2013
Zoonotic diseases are major causes of infection related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of the various arthropods capable of transmitting pathogens that cause such diseases to humans, ticks, which are vectors of more kinds of pathogens than any other group of invertebrate, have become an increasing focus of attention.

Disease Ecology and Transmission

2020
This chapter describes about the ecological factors in kala-azar transmission mapping and modelling. Risks of emergence or re-emergence of leishmaniasis are associated with several aspects. The coinfection of disease with post-kala-azar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL), tuberculosis, and HIV/AID has also been analyzed.

Disease ecology. Ecological and evolutionary effects of fragmentation on infectious disease dynamics.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 2014
Ecological theory predicts that disease incidence increases with increasing density of host networks, yet evolutionary theory suggests that host resistance increases accordingly. To test the combined effects of ecological and evolutionary forces on host-pathogen systems, we analyzed the spatiotemporal dynamics of a plant (Plantago lanceolata)-fungal ...
