- Abstract:
This BioBulletin Web site examines the balance between microbes and humans, and how the scale tips when habitats are damaged. The site includes text, videos, photographs, and interviews with key scientists. The Introduction takes a quick look at the ways Earth's complex web of life protects humans from pests, pathogens, and parasites. Biodiversity and Human Health discusses how biodiversity is the first and most fundamental defense against infectious agents. Ecosystem Change and Diseases examines the dangerous way in which the equilibrium between predator and prey can shift when habitats are damaged. Human Disturbance explains how our relationship with nature has caused many of the problems we are now facing with infections diseases. Reducing Risks explains 10 global initiatives needed to reduce the spread of infectious disease.
