The Effects of Herbicides in South Vietnam. Part B. Working Papers: Epidemiological-Ecological Effects: Studies on Intact and Deforested Mangrove Ecosystems,

Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine whether the ecological effects of herbicides have resulted in altered epidemiological patterns, particularly with respect to vector-borne infectious diseases. The premise that such epidemiological alterations may occur is based on the hypothesis that the changed ecological settings could provide suitable new breeding habitats for arthropod vectors and rodent reservoirs of these infections.
