The social-ecological systems dynamics of Ebola in West Africa
Presumptive underlying mechanisms of the emergence of Ebola
1.Changes in the agro-ecosystem from subsistence farming to increasingly industrialized farming Habitat change of fruit bats by industrialized agro-forestry like oil palm production.2.Social change towards a proletarization of farmers becoming oil palm fruit pickers
