丛林肉是一个术语，指的是使用野生动物，从甘蔗鼠到大猩猩，作为食物。该术语通常指非洲森林的做法。肉食品贸易是人为因素的一个例子，为野生动物向人类传播疾病提供了机会。过去20年来，肉类贸易的扩大为已知致病的生物体和对人类影响未知的生物体的传播提供了更多的机会，从而为人畜共患病的出现提供了场所。由于肉类贸易是嵌入在一个复杂的文化，政治和经济背景下，努力防止人畜共患病的出现需要一个多学科的方法。Mt Sinai J Med 76：429-434，2009. (C)2009年西奈山医学院
Bushmeat is a term that refers to the use of wild animals, ranging from cane rats to gorillas, for food. The term typically refers to the practice in forests of Africa. The bushmeat trade is an example of an anthropogenic factor that provides opportunities for the transmission of diseases from wildlife to humans. The expansion of the bushmeat trade over the past 2 decades has provided a venue for the emergence of zoonotic diseases by providing an increased opportunity for the transmission of organisms known to cause disease and organisms with an unknown impact on humans. Because the bushmeat trade is embedded in a complex cultural, political, and economic context, efforts to prevent the emergence of zoonoses require a multidisciplinary approach.
