A (wild?) speculation of mine is that CoViD 19 was an already established disease of some rural area. Unemployment due to the African Swine Fever Virus epizootic compelled residents to relocate. I am guessing that a market worker or truck driver infected the small carnivores and customers.

Whether livestock can be infected is perhaps the most important question. The chance encounter of a wildlife pathogen with domestic animals raised in large numbers in close quarters will yield devastating results. That could be human epidemic/pandemic/endemic disease, farms wiped out and/or reverse spillover.

This video explores the critical public health risks associated with wildlife trade and fur farming, focusing predominantly on the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) virus and its pandemic potential. It offers expert insights into how fur farming—particularly of mink—serves as a significant mixing vessel for various influenza viruses, promoting viral evolution and increasing

La investigación alerta que el avance del extractivismo en la Amazonía y la presencia de mascotas, especialmente perros, están rompiendo equilibrios ecológicos y aumentando el riesgo de zoonosis que pueden afectar al planeta. Proteger ecosistemas y fauna es también proteger la salud humana.

"Ours is the only lab currently studying this family of kinases in Toxoplasma," Gaji said. Six of these proteins are predicted to be essential for parasite growth, and his team has already shown that at least two control vital processes in the parasite's nucleus.

This represents a treasure trove of drug targets. While other researchers focus on obvious pathways, Gaji has carved out a ...
