abstract = "The Amazon is Brazils greatest natural resource and invaluable to
the rest of the world as a buffer against climate change. The
recent election of Brazils 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.",
