Paper Summary:
This paper argues that the relationship between an environment and its diseases that occur within it are not static over time. The paper discusses infectious diseases, non-vectored diseases, and deficiency diseases. AIDS is given as an example of how a disease that was once a major problem in North America is now a major problem in Africa.From the Paper:
"Diseases occur in all parts of the world. However, different groups of people will be vulnerable to different diseases at different times, depending on where they are in the world - or rather, what environments they are in. The term used to investigate the relationship between diseases and the environments in which they occur is known as Disease Ecology. Disease Ecology can be a reference to diseases within the natural environment, but also to diseases that occur within manmade environments, mainly cities. There are many different types of diseases that could be investigated here. This essay will look at diseases in both the natural and man-made environments. These will include Deficiency diseases, Infectious diseases, Chronic diseases and Social diseases."More papers on Ill Health and the Environment:

May 05, 2002 I graduated from the University of Wales, Swansea in June 2001 with a 2:1 in Development Studies (Third World Economic development and that sort of thing). This was enough to secure me funding for a Master's Degree at Cardiff University, where I completed my studies in September 2002. I am now a Planning Consultant in Surrey, England and believe it or not I have just completed ANOTHER Master's (Town & Country Planning) part time!! I hope you find my essays a source of inspiration.
