Preventing pandemics through habitat protection 

# data[].attributes.body
This research explored how the destruction of animal habitats can contribute to the spread of disease to humans. When animals lose their habitats, they do not have adequate food sources and their stress levels increase. Therefore, they travel to more urban areas and have more contact with humans. It is essential to conserve habitats in order to prevent the spread of disease.

Raina Plowright participated in this research and she is in the Department of Public & Ecosystem Health at Cornell.

Because collecting from animals by sampling can be an extensive process, researchers have developed a new method that involves focusing on individuals sampling only one member of a family of animals. Through this, researchers can sample fewer animals and find similar information due to the way disease spreads through familial animals.

Led by Dr. Anthony Ong, professor in the College of Human Ecology, new research at Cornell shows that more frequent contact with nature is associated with lower levels of three different indicators of inflammation. This was demonstrated even when controlling for other variables such as demographics, medication, and general wellbeing; the team found that reduced levels of inflammation were consistently associated with frequent positive contact with nature.

This removes the need for risky, biopsy-like procedures that would risk the success of the human embryo. BELA is able to predict the embro's status with 70% accuracy which is sure to improve in years to come.
