"Fruit bats face threats ranging from hunting for bushmeat and traditional medicine to habitat loss caused by deforestation, urban development and mining." But "Bats Traded for Traditional Medicine Put Nigeria at Risk of Zoonotic Disease Transmission".

#KnowledgeByte: #Zoonotic #Diseases are infections that can be transmitted between animals and humans. These diseases are caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi.

yes, I would expect that the global exposure to covid and its vaccines may make it harder for any future #SARS-like #zoonotic outbreaks to cause harm.

Zoonotic spillover is the successful transmission of a pathogenic entity—such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite—from a non-human animal reservoir into a human population. This rare but consequential event occurs when a pathogen successfully crosses the strict biological boundary between species.

No vaccine, no cure: Nipah virus is back in the news.
India (West Bengal) just confirmed 2 cases in healthcare workers — one recovering, one critical. Contacts tested negative, and WHO says low risk of wider spread.
Deadly zoonotic virus (40-75% fatality) from fruit bats, spreads via close contact or contaminated food. High alert in parts of Asia, but not easily transmissible person-to-person.

New (as yet unpublished) potential evidence that #SARS-#CoV-2 was found in #raccoon #dogs (canids) in the #Huanan #Market in late-2019. Specifically, viral and raccoon dog #DNA in #swabs presumably taken at the time from a stall known to house those animals.

Caveats:

-not yet #peer #reviewed.

-lots of DNA mixing together in a market.

-can the #provenance of the data be #verified?

- #zoonotic/#lab/market #origin are not #mutually #exclusive.

#introduction
Hi all. I'm just starting to explore mastadon. I'm a #diseaseecologist who studies #zoonotic #viruses in wildlife and how they #spillover into livestock and people. I work for a science-based nonprofit called EcoHealth Alliance. My research focuses on #bats and their associated #henipaviruses, #coronaviruses and #filoviruses in Asia and Africa.
