Abstract Details

2005, Bachelor of Philosophy, Miami University, School Of Interdisciplinary Studies - Interdisciplinary Studies.
Wildlife enclosures are argued by environmentalists and politicians alike as being beneficial entities for surrounding indigenous groups. These areas provide environmental, economic, educational, and cultural opportunities as well as promote eco-tourism and conservation values. However, negative consequences of these spaces must not be abandoned. While biodiversity positively affects the tourist sector, increasing biodiversity increases parasitic reservoirs and, thus, parasitic loads. Accordingly, health status and quality of life are in jeopardy for nearby populations. This thesis explores the methodology and importance of combining environmental and public health policy in the case of Leishmania in Kenya’s game reserves.
