Many infectious diseases of recent concern, including malaria,
cholera, plague, and Lyme disease, have emerged from complex
ecological communities, involving multiple hosts and their
associated parasites. Several of these diseases appear to be
influenced by human impacts on the environment, such as intensive
agriculture, clear-cut forestry, and habitat loss and
fragmentation; such environmental impacts may affect many species
that occur at trophic levels below or above the hostcommunity.
These observations suggest that the prevalence of both human and
wildlife diseases may be altered in unanticipated ways by changes
in the structure and composition of ecological communities.
Predicting the epidemiological ramifications of such alteration in
community composition will require strengthening the current union
between community ecology and epidemiology.
