Two of the epidemiologic studies used in EPA s risk assessment—those conducted in the Faroe Islands and New Zealand (Kjellstrom et al. 1986 Kjellstrom et al. 1989 Grandjean et al. 1997)—documented a significant inverse biomarker-neurodevelopment relationship.2 Effects included poor performance on a number of tests—tests of attention, fine-motor function, language, visual-spatial abilities, and verbal memory. The magnitude of the deficits was consistent with increases in the number of children struggling to keep up in school or requiring remedial action (Rice et al. 2003). Those effects correlated with hair mercury in both studies cord blood showed the... 

Although it is computationally efficient, the IFM ignores many of the demographic attributes of prairie dogs and fleas that may determine potential plague threat to humans. Thus, a series of more detailed population-level epidemiological models (e.g., Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered, or SIR models) can be used to determine the influence of the spatial structure of prairie dog populations (in terms...
