Since Lyme Disease is an often popular, and certainly relevant topic here, I thought people would be interested in this article: http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/hea...g_to_check_the_spread_of_lyme_disease/?page=1.
Actually it starts even earlier with the elimination of the predators...Decrease habitat fragmentation = increase small mammal diversity= decrease Host pool for bacteria
A key implication of the model is that maintaining high species diversity in vertebrate communities, for instance by maintaining high habitat diversity or high predator density, may reduce the risk of Lyme disease.
f Lyme Disease.
And I have to say, I really appreciate the fact that you supported this with a peer-reviewed, respected journal from the scientific community and not with a 10-second google search and wikipedia reference...which holds about as much water as a shaky second opinion.
Thanks for taking the time.
