TY - JOUR AU - Wolfe, Nathan AU - Daszak, Peter AU - Kilpatrick, A. Marm AU - Burke, Donald T1 - Bushmeat Hunting, Deforestation, and Prediction of Zoonotic Disease T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2005 VL - 11 IS - 12 SP - 1822 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Understanding the emergence of new zoonotic agents requires knowledge of pathogen biodiversity in wildlife, human-wildlife interactions, anthropogenic pressures on wildlife populations, and changes in society and human behavior. We discuss an interdisciplinary approach combining virology, wildlife biology, disease ecology, and anthropology that enables better understanding of how deforestation and associated hunting leads to the emergence of novel zoonotic pathogens.
