A recent study published in Science indicates a strong correlation between the duration of mammal species' involvement in trade and the number of pathogens they share with humans. This research, which utilizes data from an ant ecologist, suggests that the length of time a species is traded is a significant factor in the transmission of diseases to humans. The findings aim to reframe the understanding of zoonotic disease risk. AI
