The Role of Community Science in Entomology

Mary M. Gardiner et al.

Summary: Community science, with the involvement of volunteers, has made significant contributions to entomology over the centuries. The future of community science in entomology looks promising with new approaches and increased inclusivity, benefiting both humans and nature globally.

Socio-ecological drivers of multiple zoonotic hazards in highly urbanized cities

Matthew A. Combs et al.

Summary: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of understanding and managing zoonotic hazards in urban areas, where human-wildlife interfaces are common. By incorporating ecological processes and spatial scale into public health management plans, zoonotic threats can be efficiently identified and mitigated. This approach is crucial for preventing future disease outbreaks and protecting public health.

Summary: Citizen science projects in Australia provide opportunities for urban residents to connect with the natural world and contribute to research on urban ecology and biodiversity. The current number and diversity of urban citizen science projects in Australia are relatively low, highlighting the need for further development and expansion to tap into a larger pool of potential participants.

Socio-ecological dynamics in urban systems: An integrative approach to mosquito-borne disease in Bengaluru, India

Michelle Evans et al.

Summary: Urban environments have heterogeneous social and environmental features that affect human-nature interactions, such as mosquito-borne diseases. Integrative research combining multiple disciplines and epistemologies can explore place-based differences and provide new solutions for managing such diseases. A study conducted in Bengaluru, India found that although there was no difference in mosquito abundance across an urban gradient, individuals had different experiences with mosquitoes based on their outdoor activities and vulnerability to hazards. This example highlights the benefits of integrative research, particularly in urban systems.

Rabies control in South Asia requires a One Health approach

Krishna Prasad Acharya et al.

Summary: Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease present in more than 150 countries globally, with a high incidence in Asia, particularly in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. This region has low vaccination coverage for both people and stray dogs, highlighting the need for community education, awareness programs, and vaccination campaigns to control and eliminate rabies.

Ecological countermeasures for preventing zoonotic disease outbreaks: when ecological restoration is a human health imperative

Jamie K. Reaser et al.

Summary: Ecological restoration should be seen as a public health service, but the lack of quantitative linkages between environmental and human health remains a limiting factor. The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked further discussion, proposing ecological countermeasures to reduce zoonotic disease risks and outlining a five-point action plan at the human-ecosystem health nexus. Ultimately, ecological countermeasures are shown to be a key principle of restoration ecology with human health objectives.

Domestic Dogs and Wild Foxes Interactions in a Wildlife-Domestic Interface of North-Central Chile: Implications for Multi-Host Pathogen Transmission

Felipe A. Hernandez et al.

Summary: This study used camera traps to document activity patterns and habitat use of domestic dogs, chilla, and culpeo foxes, and found that proximity to urban areas predicted the frequency of interactions between dogs and foxes. Dogs were observed to interact more frequently with chilla foxes in periurban areas, suggesting a higher potential risk of pathogen spillover between these species.

Impacts of biodiversity and biodiversity loss on zoonotic diseases

Felicia Keesing et al.

Summary: Biodiversity can have both positive and negative impacts on human health. Certain animals are more likely to be zoonotic hosts, and they tend to proliferate in areas with high human activity, increasing the transmission of pathogens. Therefore, biodiversity loss may increase the risk of human exposure to a variety of pathogens.

Biodiversity and Health in the Urban Environment

Melissa R. Marselle et al.

Summary: Recent research indicates that contact with biodiversity in natural urban environments can have both positive and negative effects on human physical, mental, and social health and well-being. While biodiverse ecosystems can promote positive health outcomes, they can also pose risks such as exposure to harmful viruses or pollen. As biodiversity continues to decline at an unprecedented rate, its loss could potentially impact the quality of life for all humans. Understanding the specific causal pathways through which biodiversity affects human health is a critical research gap that needs to be addressed in order to inform nature-based solutions in public health and influence policy decisions. Efforts to integrate research and develop cross-sector urban policy and planning should focus on identifying and leveraging linkages between biodiversity, climate, and human health, with an emphasis on considering urban biodiversity conservation as an investment in public health.

Community engagement in public health: a bibliometric mapping of global research

Ming Yuan et al.

Summary: Community engagement (CE) is crucial for successful health programs, but existing research is limited by scattered topics. Bibliometric analysis reveals an increasing interest in Community Engagement in Public Health (CEPH), with the United States leading research efforts and developing countries like South Africa, India, Brazil, and China also making significant contributions.

Extended urbanisation and the spatialities of infectious disease: Demographic change, infrastructure and governance

Creighton Connolly et al.

Summary: This paper argues that contemporary processes of extended urbanisation may increase vulnerability to infectious disease spread in peri-urban and suburban areas. Factors such as demographic change, infrastructure, and governance play a significant role in shaping the spread of disease on the urban edge. A landscape political ecology framework is proposed as a useful tool for examining the role of socio-ecological transformations in generating increased risk of infectious disease.
