Zoonoses and foodborne disease
The current 2019-nCoV Coronavirus global pandemic has highlighted the importance of; animal reservoirs (and intermediate animal hosts) of disease, animal origins of human disease and zoonotic diseases and raises (again) the possibility of potential foodborne Coronavirus transmission.
