Thus, understanding the underlying processes that govern symbiosis resilience is crucial to manage the positive (e.g., nitrogen-fixing bacteria) as well as the negative (e.g., pathogen outbreaks) consequences of such interactions in agro-ecosystems (Thompson 2005; Thrall et al. 2007; Kiers et al. 2010).
If this morphs into a major outbreak, the consequences could be catastrophic.
Therefore they are not obliged to report their incident despite the fact that a restaurant can be responsible for an outbreak with serious consequences for public health.
Bark beetle infestation is a well-known cause of historical low-level disturbance in southwestern ponderosa pine forests, but recent fire exclusion and increased tree densities have enabled large-scale bark beetle outbreaks with unknown consequences for ecosystem function.
In consequence, outbreak control is more difficult, but emergence of drug resistance is relatively uncommon.
Despite this failure, the rapid eradication of the VRE outbreak was a consequence of the rapid isolation of colonized patient.
In addition to the effects of disease on a society, measles outbreaks have economic consequences, including direct medical costs and productivity losses.
Mostly they circulate harmlessly on the fringes of society, but every now and then a mutation for increased transmissibility can lead to a mainstream outbreak with seriously damaging consequences in the real world.
Failure to learn the lessons of the Ebola outbreak will have unthinkable consequences when the next global health emergency erupts, the former head of the UK's Ebola taskforce in Sierra Leone has warned.
It should be noted, however, that the periodic perturbations induced by drug switching may result in highly complex behaviour, with unpredictable and frequently unfavourable consequences for outbreak control.
