In the following scenario, how would an ecological medical anthropologist respond? Would they agree with the determination of the clinic? Why or Why not? What factors would be taken into consideration in determining the causes of this particular pattern of disease?
A local health clinic in an urban neighborhood near an airport has identified increasing cases of asthma in children. They have determined that the cause of these cases is “tendencies toward allergies in these children.”
Based on the following scenario, identify the genetic, developmental, physiological, and cultural adaptations that could be used to deal with the challenge to the community:
A community in a fictive country experiences a jump in cases of Dengue fever. According to the CDC, Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species (Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus) mosquito. 1 in 4: About one in four people infected with dengue will get sick. For people who get sick with dengue, symptoms can be mild or severe. Severe dengue can be life-threatening within a few hours and often requires care at a hospital. There is no specific medicine to treat dengue, other than acetaminophen and other palliative measures.
