Item Anexo 2 - Experiencias y aprendizajes de los principios de Ecosalud : una revisión exploratoria(IDRC / Universidad del Valle, 2018) Mendez, Fabien; Cuartas, Daniel; Montes, Mateo; Peralta, Maria del Pilar; Salcedo, Camilo; Abrahams, NathalieEste documento se elaboró como insumo para “tender puentes” entre las comunidades de práctica de Ecosalud y la del campo específico de los Sistemas Alimentarios (SA). En particular, el propósito es aportar desde las lecciones aprendidas en Ecosalud a la investigación y la acción en los SA saludables para la prevención de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT). La evaluación de dichas lecciones aprendidas en la práctica de Ecosalud se realizó para un periodo de 20 años (1997-2017) y mediante una revisión exploratoria (“scoping review”), con énfasis en la implementación de cada uno de los principios, arriba mencionados. Específicamente, se desarrolló un trabajo riguroso de búsqueda y consulta de documentos escritos (incluyendo revistas indexadas y literatura gris) para analizar los alcances en el desarrollo de los principios de Ecosalud, sus barreras y facilitadores.Item Ecosalud ETV Colombia, no. 1, diciembre de 2013 – febrero de 2014, revista trimestral(Ecosalud ETV Colombia, Centro de Estudios e Investigación en Salud (CEIS), Bogotá, CO, 2013) Contreras, Iliana; Ordoñez, Daira; Pérez, Elizabeth; Pinilla, Maria YanethItem Ecohealth interventions limit triatomine reinfestation following insecticide spraying in La Brea, Guatemala(American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2013-02) Lucero, David E.; Morrissey, Leslie A.; Rizzo, Donna M.; Rodas, Antonieta; Garnica, RobertoIn this study, we evaluate the effect of participatory Ecohealth interventions on domestic reinfestation of the Chagas disease vector Triatoma dimidiata after village-wide suppression of the vector population using a residual insecticide. The study was conducted in the rural community of La Brea, Guatemala between 2002 and 2009 where vector infestation was analyzed within a spatial data framework based on entomological and socio-economic surveys of homesteads within the village. Participatory interventions focused on community awareness and low-cost home improvements using local materials to limit areas of refuge and alternative blood meals for the vector within the home, and potential shelter for the vector outside the home. As a result, domestic infestation was maintained at ≤ 3% and peridomestic infestation at ≤ 2% for 5 years beyond the last insecticide spraying, in sharp contrast to the rapid reinfestation experienced in earlier insecticide only interventions.Item Healthy food for the picking kitchens and wild plants could be key to Lebanon's food security(Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2010-03) Boothroyd, James“Healthy Kitchens” were established in different Lebanese villages by researchers based at the American University of Beirut. They are part of a food-security project funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre. The team assessed the nutritional value of more than 40 wild edible plants, documented traditional dishes using them as ingredients, and proposed a list of healthy local foods that could improve diets at minimal cost. The study also found that villagers who pick wild edible plants and have gardens enjoy greater food security and better health. When cheap food began flooding into Lebanon, farming became unprofitable.Item Preventing Pandemics Via International Development: A Systems Approach(PLOS, 2012) Bogich, Tiffany L; Chunara, Rumi; Scales, David; Chan, Emily; Pinheiro, Laura CThe Policy Forum allows health policy makers around the world to discuss challenges and opportunities for improving health care in their societies.Item Health : an ecosystem approach; documenting ecohealth interventions in the MENA region(Center for Development Services, Cairo, EG, 2008) Center for Development ServicesItem Ecohealth approach [Arabic language](Center for Development Services, Cairo, EG, 2008) Center for Development ServicesItem Chagas disease : kissing bugs(Earth Chronicle Productions, 2010-03) Fenner, VictoriaThe article succinctly covers how chagas disease is transmitted, the physical effects over time, and how and why to prevent its spread. The parasite is called Trypanosoma cruzi, a protozoan contained in the “kissing bug’s” excrement. When a person is bit, the natural inclination is to scratch the bite, which ensures the protozoan gets into the bloodstream, causing Chagas disease. The inflammatory illness causes chronic disease over time leading to death.Item Managing water in rural Morocco : health impact assessment of small dams; the case of Asgharkis [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Sedki, Mohamed; Hajj Abdelrahman, AitItem Combating diarrhea in rural Lebanon : understanding water, understanding health; the case of Bebnine [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, Mohamed; Nuwayhid, ImanItem Documenting eco-health interventions in the MENA region : lake Nasser case study [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, MohamedItem Cleaner water for rural Moroccan farmers : studying the effects of wastewater reuse; the case of Settat [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Laamari, AbdelaliItem Fighting diarrhea in the North Jordan valley : taking a closer look at this fragile ecosystem; the case of Sheikh Hussein [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, Mohamed; Ghazawi, ZiadItem Ecosystem approach to human health in rural Egypt : healthy ecosystem, healthy people; the case of El-Fayoum [Arabic version](Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Gaber, HeshamItem Combating diarrhea in rural Lebanon : understanding water, understanding health; the case of Bebnine(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, Mohamed; Nuwayhid, ImanItem Managing water in rural Morocco : health impact assessment of small dams; the case of Asgharkis(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Sedki, Mohamed; Hajj Abdelrahman, AitItem Fighting diarrhea in the North Jordan valley : taking a closer look at this fragile ecosystem; the case of Sheikh Hussein(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, Mohamed; Ghazawi, ZiadItem Cleaner water for rural Moroccan farmers : studying the effects of wastewater reuse; the case of Settat(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Laamari, AbdelaliItem Documenting eco-health interventions in the MENA region : lake Nasser case study(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Ramzy, MohamedItem Ecosystem approach to human health in rural Egypt : healthy ecosystem, healthy people; the case of El-Fayoum(Center for Development Services (CDS), Cairo, EG, 2007) Gaber, Hesham
