  • Title: Impact of globalization and animal trade on infectious disease ecology.
    Author: Marano N, Arguin PM, Pappaioanou M.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2007 Dec; 13(12):1807-9. PubMed ID: 18258027.
    Abstract:
    The articles on rabies and Marburg virus featured in this month's Emerging Infectious Diseases (EID) zoonoses issue illustrate common themes. Both discuss zoonotic diseases with serious health implications for humans, and both have a common reservoir, the bat. These articles, and the excitement generated by this year's recognition of World Rabies Day on September 8, also described in this issue, remind us how globalization has had an impact on the worldwide animal trade. This worldwide movement of animals has increased the potential for the translocation of zoonotic diseases, which pose serious risks to human and animal health.
