Animal movements and the spread of infectious diseases	2006-02-07		.txt	text/plain	4939	222	46	In addition to the well-recognized threat that animal translocations and invasions into new geographic areas pose for species extinctions and biodiversity, the large wildlife trade clearly poses great dangers for the emergence of human and animal pathogens. A recent risk analysis [37] showed that the movement of pet animals between Hokkaido and the rest of Japan is likely to result in Review further geographical spread of the parasite, particularly because there are few movement controls or programmes for screening and treatment. The importance of contact networks in the spread of infectious diseases of livestock in the UK has been clearly highlighted [47] ; in addition, a small proportion (20%) of farm holdings contributes to the majority (80%) of movements. Movements can result in the introduction of exotic animal diseases or human pathogens, which might themselves have important economic and/or public health impacts.	./cache/cord-305501-srq1bo2v.txt	./txt/cord-305501-srq1bo2v.txt
