- In animal-mediated diseases, the environment plays a threefold role, acting as a reservoir where substances are accumulated and transported; as a focal point for ecological and chemical processes; and as a health mediator where disease agents from the environment are transferred to and affect animals and humans.

Jul 1, 2022 · Anthropogenic stressors to the environment, such as land use change, biodiversity decline, climate change and environmental pollution, cause or exacerbate animal-mediated diseases. Land use change causes ecosystem fragmentation that enhances human contact with natural areas and wildlife.

Veterinarians and other wildlife specialists that are well trained in disease recognition and population medicine can play an important role in surveillance, control and prevention of emerging zoonoses (Chomel et al. 2007).
May 31, 2007 · The impact of proximal environmental characteristics on disease burden is mediated through transmission cycle dynamics. We categorize pathogens into one of six transmission system groups based on their distinct relationships with the environment (Figure 2).

Jan 28, 2009 · Here, we review how these human-induced drivers of disturbance can lead to specific changes in the environment that may also facilitate disease-mediated extinction via mechanisms that are directly linked to the biology of pathogens.
Billions of people living in poverty are at risk of environmentally mediated infectious diseases—that is, pathogens with environmental reservoirs that affect disease persistence and control and where environmental control of pathogens can reduce human risk.
