The Amazon is Brazil's greatest natural resource and invaluable to the rest of the world as a buffer against climate change. The recent election of Brazil's president brought disputes over development plans for the region back into the spotlight. Historically, the development model for the Amazon has focused on exploitation of natural resources, resulting in environmental degradation, particularly deforestation. Although considerable attention has focused on the long-term global cost of "losing the Amazon," too little attention has focused on the emergence and reemergence of vector-borne diseases that directly impact the local population, with spillover effects to other neighboring areas. We discuss the impact of Amazon development models on human health, with a focus on vector-borne disease risk. We outline policy actions that could mitigate these negative impacts while creating opportunities for environmentally sensitive economic activities.

发展,环境退化和疾病在巴西亚马逊地区蔓延。

亚马逊河是巴西最大的自然资源,作为应对气候变化的缓冲带,对世界其他地区来说都是无价之宝。最近巴西总统选举带来了该地区回到聚光灯发展计划的争议。从历史上看,亚马逊的开发模式一直侧重于自然资源的开采,从而导致环境退化,尤其是森林砍伐。尽管相当多的注意力集中在“失去亚马逊”的长期全球成本上,但很少有注意力集中在媒介传播疾病的出现和再出现上,这些疾病直接影响了当地人口,并对其他邻近地区产生了溢出效应。我们讨论了亚马逊开发模型对人类健康的影响,重点是病媒传播的疾病风险。
