Abstract Given the important contribution of urban consumption in bushmeat trade, information on sales markets can provide valuable insights for understanding dynamics this trade and its implications conservation food security. We monitored traded market Kisangani (the provincial capital Province Orientale Democratic Republic Congo) compared data collected surveys 2002 2008–2009. In both periods more than two-thirds carcasses sold were rodents ungulates. From to 2008–2009 number increased by...
Abstract Understanding the importance of bushmeat consumption for household nutrition, both in rural and urban settings, is critical to developing politically acceptable ways reduce unsustainable exploitation. This study provides insights into patterns relative other meat (from wild, such as fish caterpillars, or from domestic sources, beef, chicken, pork, goat mutton) among children Province Orientale, Democratic Republic Congo. Our results show that households consume more wild than...
After the 2017 Ebola virus (EBOV) outbreak in Likati, a district northern Democratic Republic of Congo, we sampled small mammals from location where primary case-patient presumably acquired infection. None tested positive for EBOV RNA or antibodies against EBOV, highlighting ongoing challenge detecting animal reservoirs EBOV.
Abstract The European Union prohibits the import of meat (products) unless specifically authorised and certified as being eligible for import. Nevertheless, various scientific papers report that passengers from west central African countries illegally large quantities meat, including bushmeat, into Europe via its international airports. They also suggest bushmeat is an organised luxury market in Europe. In present study we explore several aspects Brussels, Belgium. We demonstrate clandestine...

The wildlife reservoir and spillover mechanisms of the Ebola virus remain elusive despite extensive research efforts in endemic areas. This study employed a One Health approach to examine circulation associated human exposure risks Tshuapa province Democratic Republic Congo. In 2021, we collected 1015 samples from 888 animals, predominantly small mammals, 380 inhabitants Inkanamongo village, site an disease outbreak 2014. These were screened for evidence current (RNA) or past (IgG...
ABSTRACT The processes involved in acquiring, trading, preparing, and consuming wild meat pose significant risks for the emergence of zoonotic infectious diseases. Several major viral outbreaks have been directly linked to supply chain, yet our knowledge virome many mammals this chain remains limited disproportionately focused on certain mammalian taxa pathogens. This report presents findings a metagenomic screening 99 specimens belonging 27 African mammal species one domesticated species,...
