Multilevel factors drive child exposure to enteric pathogens in animal feces: A qualitative study in northwestern coastal Ecuador
Exposure to animal feces and associated enteric pathogens poses significant risks to child health. However, public health strategies to mitigate enteric infections among children largely aim to reduce exposure to human feces, overlooking transmission pathways related to animal feces. In this study we examine if and how children are exposed to enteric pathogens in animal feces in northwestern coastal Ecuador. We conducted qualitative interviews wi…
Dengue fever is not just urban or rural: Reframing its spatial categorization
The importance of community during rapid development: The influence of social networks on acute gastrointestinal illness in rural Ecuador
Social networks are often measured as conduits of infection. Our prior cross-sectional analyses found that denser social ties among individuals reduces transmission of acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) in coastal Ecuador; social networks can describe both risk and protection. We extend findings to examine how social connectedness influences AGI longitudinally in Ecuador from 2007 to 2013, a time of rapid development, using a two-stage Bayesian…
Perceptions of Local Vulnerability and the Relative Importance of Climate Change in Rural Ecuador
Social cohesion and passive adaptation in relation to climate change and disease
Trends of child undernutrition in rural Ecuadorian communities with differential access to roads, 2004–2013
Road access can influence protective and risk factors associated with nutrition by affecting various social and biological processes. In northern coastal Ecuador, the construction of new roads created a remoteness gradient among villages, providing a unique opportunity to examine the impact of roads on child nutritional outcomes 10 years after the road was built. Anthropometric and haemoglobin measurements were collected from 2,350 children <5 ye…
Social Connectedness and Disease Transmission: Social Organization, Cohesion, Village Context, and Infection Risk in Rural Ecuador
Social networks are typically seen as conduits for the spread of disease and disease risk factors. However, social relationships also reduce the incidence of chronic disease and potentially infectious diseases. Seldom are these opposing effects considered simultaneously. We have shown how and why diarrheal disease spreads more slowly to and in rural Ecuadorian villages that are more remote from the area’s population center. Reduced contact with o…
Males diarreicos en la costa ecuatoriana: Cambios Socioambientales Y Concepciones De Salud
Presentamos una etnoepidemiología de las enfermedades diarreicas en 21 pueblos de la costa norte del Ecuador, zona en la cual hay muchos cambios sociales y ambientales desde 2001 por la presencia de una nueva carretera. Con percepciones de que la misma naturaleza está cambiando, vienen cambios en interpretaciones de lo que es salud y enfermedad, que presentamos en forma de una taxonomía de males diarreicos. Ante la fuerte incidencia de las enferm…
Anthropology Is Missing: On theWorld Development Report 2010: Development and Climate Change
When the World Bank publishes a report on climate change, the world takes notice. What are its diagnoses and treatments, and how present is anthropology in this analysis? The 2010 World Development Report on climate change provides few new diagnostic tools and no clear Bank policy revisions. It often fails to harmonize neoliberal development rhetoric with new climate-change imperatives. It nods to the importance of social context and risk percept…

Pedestrian injuries in Mexico: A Multi-Method Approach
How Do Researchers Influence Decision-Makers? Case Studies of Mexican Policies
Though the problems translating or applying research in policy-making are legion, solutions are rare. As developing countries increase their capacities to develop effective local solutions to their health problems, they confront the research/policy dilemma. Yet few descriptive studies of research-policy links can be found from developing countries, and the relevance of European and North American models and data is questionable. We report the res…

Medical Anthropology and Epidemiology
Over the past decade anthropologists and epidemiologists have begun to move beyond the "benign neglect" that characterized their prior relationship. Some of the most important collaborations between these disciplines concern themes of culture change and stress, social stratification, and the unpacking of other social and cultural variables. Anthropologists have criticized and expanded epidemiological notions of risk and vulnerability. Multidiscip…
