S05 Mapping Global Bushmeat Activities to Improve Zoonotic Spillover Surveillance

, 2023
Human populations that hunt, butcher, and sell bushmeat (bushmeat activities) are at increased risk for zoonotic pathogen spillover. Despite associations with global epidemics of severe illnesses, such as Ebola and Mpox, quantitative assessments of ...

Bushmeat and human health: assessing the evidence in tropical and sub-tropical forests [PDF]

, 2017
The importance of bushmeat as source of food and medicine for forest peoples calls for an appropriate benefit/risk analysis in terms of human health. In this systematic review, we compiled information on the linkages between bushmeat and health, with a ...

Informing elephant management through demographic snapshots

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Understanding demography is vital for managing species successfully; however, for elephants, traditional surveys are both costly and labor‐intensive. This study presents a cost‐effective method for estimating age structures of savannah elephants in southern Africa, revealing how water provisioning, density dependence, and fertility control influence ...

Translocation of livestock‐raiding lions under specific conditions can mitigate conflict

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Human‐wildlife conflict is a pervasive threat that imperils many carnivore species worldwide, and although translocation is often used as a conflict mitigation strategy, it is widely regarded as ineffective. Here, we demonstrate that careful selection of suitable release sites can improve outcomes, as 80% of stock‐raiding lion translocations in ...

Bushmeat, now on the Web

, 2014
A discussion forum on the dangers of eating bushmeat has been started on the Internet (bushmeat@AZA.org)(see Spore 83, p 7). It is drawing attention to the reasons behind the rising consumption of bushmeat in Africa. These include the general..

Tick‐Tac‐Foe: When Ticks, Trade, and Zoonotic Pathogens Align in African Wet Meat Markets

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic diseases account for over ∼60% of infectious diseases and present a significantly growing fatality threat in Africa. Live and wet markets (LWMs) in Africa function as key economic venues that support human livelihoods through social interaction and trade in food stuff, including meat and other animal‐based products.

Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 911-922, June 2026.
Golden lion tamarins had their annual adult survival strongly impacted by a yellow fever outbreak in 2017–2018. At the same time, they temporarily changed their dispersal patterns. Despite a 30% decline, the population has come back to levels higher than pre‐outbreak ones. Abstract Disease outbreaks can severely affect populations in the wild. However,

From Subsistence to Commercial Hunting: Technical Shift in Cynegetic Practices Among Southern Cameroon Forest Dwellers During the 20th Century

Ecology and Society, 2016
Tropical rainforest dwellers, who are currently engaged in bushmeat trade, used to track game for their own subsistence. We investigate the technical evolution over the past century of bushmeat procurement by the Fang, a group of southern Cameroon forest

No safe refuge? Contrasting effects of hunting on rainforest mammal persistence and (re)colonisation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results imply that hunting not only targets areas used as refuges by wildlife, but also reduces recolonisation potential and may therefore alter source–sink dynamics. We recommend spatially targeted community‐led actions to limit hunting where wildlife still persists through the creation of no‐hunting areas to ensure the long‐term persistence of ...
