Editing Zoonosis (section)

=== Wildlife trade or animal attacks ===
The wildlife trade may increase spillover risk because it directly increases the number of interactions across animal species, sometimes in small spaces.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Glidden CK, Nova N, Kain MP, Lagerstrom KM, Skinner EB, Mandle L, Sokolow SH, Plowright RK, Dirzo R, De Leo GA, Mordecai EA | display-authors = 6 | title = Human-mediated impacts on biodiversity and the consequences for zoonotic disease spillover | journal = Current Biology | volume = 31 | issue = 19 | pages = R1342–R1361 | date = October 2021 | pmid = 34637744 | doi = 10.1016/j.cub.2021.08.070 | s2cid = 238588772 | pmc = 9255562 | bibcode = 2021CBio...31R1342G }}</ref> The origin of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]<ref name="BJC_Beirne2021">{{cite journal | vauthors = You M | title = Changes of China's regulatory regime on commercial artificial breeding of terrestrial wildlife in time of COVID-19 outbreak and impacts on the future | journal = Biological Conservation | volume = 250 | issue = 3 | page = 108756 | date = October 2020 | pmc = 7953978 | doi = 10.1093/bjc/azaa084 | publisher = Oxford University Press | jfm =  | zbl =  | jstor =  | pmid = 32863392 | mr =  }}</ref><ref name="CovidAndCapital">{{cite journal | vauthors = Blattner C, Coulter K, Wadiwel D, Kasprzycka E | title = Covid-19 and Capital: Labour Studies and Nonhuman Animals – A Roundtable Dialogue | journal = Animal Studies Journal | volume = 10 | issue = 1 | pages = 240–272 | publisher = University of Wollongong | date = 2021 | url = https://ro.uow.edu.au/asj/vol10/iss1/11/ | jstor = | issn = 2201-3008 | doi = 10.14453/asj.v10i1.10 | id = | mr = | zbl = | jfm = | access-date = 19 September 2021| doi-access = free }}</ref> is traced to the [[wet markets in China]].<ref name="SunEtAl_2020">{{cite journal | vauthors = Sun J, He WT, Wang L, Lai A, Ji X, Zhai X, Li G, Suchard MA, Tian J, Zhou J, Veit M, Su S | display-authors = 6 | title = COVID-19: Epidemiology, Evolution, and Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives | journal = Trends in Molecular Medicine | volume = 26 | issue = 5 | pages = 483–495 | date = May 2020 | pmid = 32359479 | pmc = 7118693 | doi = 10.1016/j.molmed.2020.02.008 | name-list-style = vanc }}</ref><ref name="WHOPoints_2021">{{cite news |title=WHO Points To Wildlife Farms In Southern China As Likely Source Of Pandemic |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/03/15/977527808/who-points-to-wildlife-farms-in-southwest-china-as-likely-source-of-pandemic?t=1616302540855 |publisher=[[NPR]] |date=15 March 2021}}</ref><ref name="Maxmen_2021">{{cite journal | vauthors = Maxmen A | title = WHO report into COVID pandemic origins zeroes in on animal markets, not labs | journal = Nature | volume = 592 | issue = 7853 | pages = 173–174 | date = April 2021 | pmid = 33785930 | doi = 10.1038/d41586-021-00865-8 | s2cid = 232429241 | bibcode = 2021Natur.592..173M }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Huang |first1=Chaolin |last2=Wang |first2=Yeming |last3=Li |first3=Xingwang |last4=Ren |first4=Lili |last5=Zhao |first5=Jianping |last6=Hu |first6=Yi |last7=Zhang |first7=Li |last8=Fan |first8=Guohui |last9=Xu |first9=Jiuyang |last10=Gu |first10=Xiaoying |last11=Cheng |first11=Zhenshun |last12=Yu |first12=Ting |last13=Xia |first13=Jiaan |last14=Wei |first14=Yuan |last15=Wu |first15=Wenjuan |date=2020-02-15 |title=Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China |journal=Lancet |volume=395 |issue=10223 |pages=497–506 |doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30183-5 |issn=1474-547X |pmc=7159299 |pmid=31986264}}</ref>
