Subsequently, we focused on pasture streams, as an especially prevalent widespread riparian alteration, by characterising their structural (e.g. invertebrate and fish communities) and functional (e.g. litter decomposition, algal production, herbivory) attributes in a country (Ireland) dominated by this type of landscape modification, via field and laboratory experiments.
Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) has been described as 'puzzling' [ 1], and is one of the most prevalent widespread chronic pain conditions, affecting 0.1% to 3.0% of the general population, and 2% to 16% of patients in all clinical situations [ 2].
It is more prevalent and widespread in dry forests than in rainforest because of the higher population densities of these areas [7].
Brucellosis in cattle is prevalent and widespread in sub-Saharan Africa and the disease is endemic in most pastoral systems.
We found that ribotype 001 was the most prevalent and widespread ribotype, found in 70% of submitting hospitals.
Specifically, FMS, a prevalent chronic widespread pain disorder affecting mainly females (classified according to the 1990 American College of Rheumatology [ACR] criteria) [ 6], occurs in 20-32% of people with IBS [ 7].
It is more prevalent and widespread in dry forests than in rainforest because of the higher population densities of these areas [ 7].
The strain with spa-type t108 appears to be more prevalent and widespread, given that the strain spread from animal to human, between family members, between patient and nurse, and among pig farmers from different regions.
We believe that rabies is highly prevalent and widespread in southern Africa and that the disease poses a continual threat to a large variety of wildlife species, to livestock and to human health.
Specifically, FMS, a prevalent, chronic, widespread pain disorder affecting mainly females, classified according to the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria [ 6], occurs in 20% to 32% of people with IBS, and, in turn, 32%to70%0% of people with FMS also meet the criteria for IBS [ 7- 9].
It seems that something like Toxoplasma gondii would be a good preliminary candidate for the role of our hypothetical microbe that promotes religious behavior as it is prevalent and widespread (as religious practices are) and its infection is associated with some behavioral traits and it is capable of latently residing in the human brain.
