    Abstract:   From summary (free full-text available): Though bushmeat is often part of the diet of rural African communities, studies are beginning to indicate considerable negative health implications connected with the processing and consumption of wildlife. Reports confirm the vulnerability of nonhuman primates to the Ebola virus during outbreaks in a variety of African sites. Evidence of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infection has been reported for 26 different species of African nonhuman primates,...

    Abstract:   From abstract (full free-text available): Despite the growing threat of zoonotic emerging infectious diseases, our understanding of the process of disease emergence remains poor. Public health measures for such diseases often depend on vaccine and drug development to combat diseases once pathogens have emerged. Indeed, many believe that predicting emergence of new zoonoses is an unattainable goal. Despite this, a growing trend in emerging disease research attempts to empirically analyze the proc...

    Abstract:   From abstract (full free-text available): Two major public health priorities are ensuring the safety of the blood supply and preventing the emergence of new infectious diseases. Phylogenetic evidence shows that HIV-1 and HIV-2 were introduced into humans through independent cross-species transmission of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) strains from distinct, naturally infected, nonhuman primate (NHP) hosts. HIV-1 groups M, N, and O are believed to have arisen as 3 separate cross-species trans...
    Hunters' Behavior and Acceptance of Management Actions Related to Chronic Wasting Disease in Eight States Show Full Record 406 Bookmark and Share

    Searchable Keywords: Chronic wasting disease Human health Hunting Risk factors Social aspects Wildlife management 
    Abstract:   From abstract (online abstract only): The impacts of chronic wasting disease (CWD) on hunters' behavior and beliefs about acceptable management actions are not clearly understood. This article presents findings from an initial phase of a multi-stage, multi-state effort to address these knowledge gaps. Data were obtained from mail surveys (n = 659) of resident and nonresident deer hunters in eight states and elk hunters in three states. Hunters were presented with hypothetical situations of incre...
    USGS Recent Highlights Environmental Effects on Human and Wildlife Health Show Full Record 1129 Bookmark and Share

    Resource Type(s): Fact Sheets
    Searchable Keywords: Animal health Ecosystems Environmental health Human health Wildlife diseases 
    Abstract:   From the document: The reemergence of infectious disease has continued to gain momentum since the mid-1980's. Disease events affecting natural resources have paralleled the eruption of infectious disease in human populations. Both situations are reasons for concern and have a common causative bond of ecological change. Document provides an overview of examples of environmental contributions to diseases and human health by looking at: ecosystem health, pathogenic microorganisms in public water su...
