Full Description

This examination focuses on the effects of land use changes on the epidemiology of vector-borne diseases. Key concepts include urbanization, deforestation, and agricultural practices that modify habitats.

Understanding these effects supports effective planning and intervention strategies in public health. Land use changes can drive vector populations into human environments, thereby increasing exposure and disease risk.

Candidates will be assessed on their ability to articulate the mechanisms by which land use transforms ecological niches and facilitates vector-borne disease transmission.

Discussion may also include case studies demonstrating the correlations between land use alterations and epidemic events in various geographic locations.

Sample Questions

What role do alterations in land use play in the emergence of new vector-borne diseases?
Can you describe how urbanization affects mosquito habitats and disease transmission risk?

Field: Medical and Health Sciences

Subfield: Environmental Health
