The Compromised, Pre-Diseased or Post-Diseased Terrain, Malaria and Germ Terrain Dualism by Seun Ayoade in Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences (PRJFGS) in Lupine Publishers
The Germ-Terrain duality theory of disease states that the
aetiology of certain diseases/diseased states is better explained as
a complex interplay between germs and the inherent anatomical/
physiological integrity of the body cells. It argues that the aetiology
of certain diseases is not fully explained merely by the presence of
germs (Germ Theory) or by a mere loss of cellular integrity (Terrain
Theory). As a result, the prevention and treatment of such diseases
should focus not just on fighting germs but on maintaining/
restoring the anatomical/physiological cellular integrity.
