Lyme Disease: The Ecology of a Complex System
Ostfeld, Richard (Senior Scientist, Senior Scientist, Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies)
What increases Lyme disease risk, what decreases it, why are there hotspots and bad years, and why is it spreading? Answering these questions requires an intimate knowledge of the players involved, which include the Lyme bacterium, the tick vector, the many animals ticks feed on, their habitats, the climate, and the landscape. This book explores why deer are less important to Lyme disease than most people think, why acorns are in fact important, and why biodiversityreduces risk of exposure, and explains how the science of ecology can help protect human health.
