An ethical and prudential argument for prioritizing the reduction of parasite-stress in the allocation of health care resources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2012
Abstract
The link between parasite-stress and complex psychological dispositions implies that the social, political, and economic benefits likely to flow from public health interventions that reduce rates of non-zoonotic infectious disease are far greater than have traditionally been thought. We sketch a prudential and ethical argument for increasing public health resources globally and redistributing these to focus on the alleviation of parasite-stress in human populations.
