| Content | Environmental effects on the risk of infectious disease are not new. Micro- and Macro Parasites share many fundamental properties with humans and animals. Hence an ecological perspective is appropriate for the understanding and control of infectious diseases. Ecological thinking recognizes the importance of fundamental physical, chemical and biological processes affect the survival and reproduction all living organisms. These include evolutionary, social, economic and political processes. Theoretical lectures and peer group work are interlinked with presentations from the ongoing research projects on avian influenza, rabies, bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis and anthrax of the human and animal health research group at the Swiss Tropical Institute. |
