Abstract

At the time this commentary was written (March 18, 2020), 100 countries had confirmed cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus In China, where the outbreak was first reported, 81,000 people have been infected and more than 3,100 have died Outside of China, 50,000 people have been infected with the virus, and 1,300 have perished In the United States, there were 6,000 cases reported, 90 deaths, with 53 states and territories reporting cases Since the coronavirus outbreak was first reported, media reports have traced the cause of the outbreak to horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus spp ;Figure 3) There are literally hundreds of genetically diverse bat-borne coronaviruses in the wild Most of them are harmless, except for a group responsible for the 2002-2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak Because of the global distribution of bats, their rich diversity, and the importance of bats as natural reservoirs of coronaviruses, the number of bat coronaviruses with the potential for transmission to humans will likely increase

人类、野生动物和我们的环境:一个健康是共同的纽带

在撰写这篇评论时(2020年3月18日)，100个国家确诊了COVID-19病例，这是一种由新型冠状病毒引起的疾病。在首次报道疫情的中国，已有8.1万人感染，3100多人死亡。在中国以外，已有5万人感染该病毒，1300人死亡。自首次报道冠状病毒爆发以来，媒体报道已将疫情的原因追溯到马蹄形蝙蝠(Rhinolophus spp;图3)。野外有数百种基因不同的蝙蝠传播的冠状病毒，其中大多数是无害的，除了一种导致2002-2003年严重急性呼吸系统综合症(SARS)爆发的病毒。鉴于蝙蝠作为冠状病毒天然宿主的重要性，有可能传播给人类的蝙蝠冠状病毒的数量可能会增加

期刊介绍： Human–Wildlife Interactions (HWI) serves the professional needs of the wildlife biologist and manager in the arena of human–wildlife conflicts/interactions, wildlife damage management, and contemporary wildlife management. The intent of HWI is to publish original contributions on all aspects of contemporary wildlife management and human–wildlife interactions with an emphasis on scientific research and management case studies that identify and report innovative conservation strategies, technologies, tools, and partnerships that can enhance human–wildlife interactions by mitigating human–wildlife conflicts through direct and indirect management of wildlife and increased stakeholder engagement. Our intent is to promote a dialogue among wildlife professionals concerning contemporary management issues. As such, we hope to provide a repository for wildlife management science and case studies that document and share manager experiences and lessons learned.
