Wildlife, exotic pets, and emerging zoonoses.
Emerging Infectious Diseases. 13(1):6-11, Jan 2007.

Most emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic; wildlife constitutes a large and often unknown reservoir. The leading causes of their emergence are human behaviour and modifications to natural habitats (expansion of human populations and their encroachment on wildlife habitat), changes in agricultural practices and globalization of trade. Other factors include wildlife trade and translocation, live animal and bushmeat markets, consumption of exotic foods, development of ecotourism, access to petting zoos and ownership of exotic pets.*
