Wildlife culling as a biophobic response to zoonotic disease risk: why we need a one health approach to risk communication by C. Jane Anderson, Jamie K. Reaser, Jamie K. Reaser

“…In worst case scenarios, biophobia of zoonotic hosts can result in humans culling wildlife populations or destroying their habitat. To better understand how public health messaging can responsibly provide necessary information on zoonoses risks while also promoting an affinity (biophilia) for potential zoonotic pathogen hosts, we conducted a literature review to identify cases of zoonoses-initiated wildlife culls and evaluated patterns and trends. …”
