Vibrio is the human and as well as aquatic pathogenic organism which causes diseases to both humans and aquatic creatures like shrimp and fishes. Case summary: In New York, Patient A was hospitalized on April 26 with a 2 day history of diarrhea. Investigation revealed that on April 22, patient B had onset of watery diarrhea. Three other people (patients C, D, and E) had onset of diarrhea on April 24. All three patients had vibriocidal antibody titers >= 640. In Ecuador, on April 20, B had bought crabs that were boiled and shelled. B shared crabmeat with F and G, then froze the remaining crab in a bag. Patient A returned to New York on April 21 with a bag of crabmeat. The bag was placed in a freezer overnight and thawed on April 22 in a double-boiler for 20 minutes. The crab was served 2 hours later in a crab salad. The crab was consumed by A, C, D, and E during a 6-hour period. F and G did not become ill.

Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding? Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions. Details: You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons. Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…
