Document Summary
Week 6 research reading: climate variability, global change, Confounder: something that is not observed or taken into account that changes the outcome- related to what you"re studying but don"t take into consideration. The artic because there is no pesticides, no contact. If the climate is favourable the pathogen will spread there but that isn"t always the case. Eliminate sleeping sickness- people will farm with that land- may be to poor to sustain anything and may support another pathogen that can be worse (eliminating one can cause another one to come into play) Malaria 2 things: it"s a changing disease not always the same (strain diversity) Heard immunity: if everyone is immune or vaccinated around u then u wont get it- the heard will be protected. When is heard immunity low- when the duration of immunity is short.
