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.

野味是一个用来指代将从蔗鼠到大猩猩等野生动物用作食物的术语。该术语通常指非洲森林中的这种做法。野味贸易是一种人为因素，为疾病从野生动物传播到人类提供了机会。在过去20年里，野味贸易的扩张通过为已知致病生物以及对人类影响未知的生物提供更多传播机会，为新出现的人畜共患病提供了一个滋生场所。由于野味贸易置身于复杂的文化、政治和经济背景之中，预防人畜共患病出现的努力需要采取多学科方法。《西奈山医学杂志》76:429 - 434，2009年。(c) 2009年西奈山医学院。
