| Abstract | Abstract Wildlife hunting and trade creates numerous direct human–animal contact opportunities that can facilitate transmission of zoonotic diseases pantropically. Yet, there is a lack of knowledge of which species and areas have a high risk of zoonotic disease spillover due to wildlife hunting and trade. We combined maps of hunting pressure, recent data sets on human‐shared pathogens, and trade volumes for 614 mammalian host species to map zoonotic disease risk from wildlife hunting and trade pantropically. We also assessed the relationship between zoonotic disease risk from hunting and probability of emerging zoonotic diseases using generalised least square regression. We identified hotspots of zoonotic disease risk from hunting in central America, China, and central Africa. When considering wildlife trade frequency, high risk occurs in southern Africa and China. Zoonotic disease risk from wildlife hunting aligns significantly with the risk of zoonotic emerging infectious diseases, suggesting that hunting is a key driver of zoonotic disease outbreaks of pandemic potential. Interventions that regulate the hunting of host species and considers the socioeconomic motivations behind hunting could reduce the risk of zoonotic disease spillover. 摘要 野生动物狩猎和贸易创造了大量人与动物直接接触的机会,可促进泛热带人畜共患病的传播。然而,对于哪些物种和地区因野生动物狩猎和贸易而具有人畜共患病外溢的高风险尚未明确。我们结合狩猎压力地图、人类共享病原体的最新数据集以及614种哺乳动物宿主物种的贸易量,绘制了泛热带野生动物狩猎和贸易导致人畜共患病风险的地图。我们还利用广义最小二乘法回归评估了狩猎造成的人畜共患病风险与新出现的人畜共患病概率之间的关系。我们在中美洲、中国和非洲中部发现了狩猎导致人畜共患病风险的热点地区。考虑到野生动物贸易频率,南部非洲和中国的风险较高。狩猎野生动物导致人畜共患病的风险与人畜共患新发传染病的风险显著一致,这表明狩猎是导致可能大流行的人畜共患疾病爆发的关键因素。对狩猎宿主物种进行监管并考虑狩猎背后的社会经济动机的干预措施可以降低人畜共患病外溢的风险。 【审阅:王易孚】 Plain language summary Wildlife hunting and trade results in more interactions between humans and animals which can lead to the spread of zoonotic diseases—diseases that can spread between humans and animals. We combined data on wildlife hunting, trade, and diseases that affects both humans and animals to generate a map of zoonotic disease risk from wildlife hunting and trade. We also assessed the spatial correlation between zoonotic disease risk from hunting and probability of emerging zoonotic diseases. High zoonotic disease risk from hunting was observed in central America, China and central Africa and high risk from trade was observed in southern Africa and China. The spatial distribution of zoonotic disease risk from hunting correlates significantly with the probability of emerging zoonotic diseases. This suggests that hunting is one of the key drivers of emerging zoonotic diseases. Hence, regulating wildlife hunting could reduce the risk of emerging zoonotic diseases. However, care should be taken when implementing these hunting regulations as we need to consider the livelihoods and cultural aspects of hunting by local and Indigenous People. 通俗语言摘要 野生动物狩猎和贸易会导致人类与动物之间更多的接触,从而导致人畜共患病的传播——人畜共患病可以在人类和动物之间传播。我们将野生动物狩猎、贸易以及影响人类和动物的疾病的数据结合起来,行成了一张野生动物狩猎和贸易导致的人畜共患病风险地图。我们还评估了狩猎带来的人畜共患病风险与新出现的人畜共患病概率之间的空间相关性。在美洲中部、中国和非洲中部观察到狩猎导致人畜共患病的高风险,在非洲南部和中国观察到贸易导致人畜共患病的高风险。狩猎造成的人畜共患病风险的空间分布与新出现的人畜共患病的概率显著相关。这表明,狩猎是新出现的人畜共患病的主要驱动因素之一。因此,规范野生动物狩猎可以降低新出现的人畜共患病的风险。不过,在实施这些狩猎法规时应小心谨慎,因为我们需要考虑当地人和土著人狩猎的生计和文化方面的问题。 Practitioner points We find evidence that wildlife hunting is potentially one of the main drivers of emerging zoonotic diseases. Hunting regulations that consider the hunters' socioeconomic motivations are needed in central America, China and central Africa as they are hotspots of high zoonotic disease risk from hunting. China and southern Africa were identified to export high zoonotic disease risk from hunted species. 实践者要点 我们的研究表明,野生动物狩猎可能是导致新出现人畜共患病的主要原因之一。 中美洲、中国和非洲中部是狩猎导致人畜共患病的高风险热点地区,因此需要制定考虑狩猎者社会经济动机的狩猎法规。 中国和南部非洲被认定为狩猎物种导致人畜共患病风险较高的地区。 |
