The outbreak of avian influenza A H5N1 virus human infections in Hong Kong in 1997, with 18 cases and six deaths [6] , serves as another excellent example to illustrate the role of Chinese wet-markets in the emergence of zoonotic severe respiratory viral infections (Fig. 4) . China, with one-quarter of the world's population, 16 of the 20 most polluted cities of the world and a huge diversity of animals closely associated with the human population, is one of the countries with the greatest potential for the emergence and spread of infectious diseases, such as SARS and avian influenza.	./cache/cord-276403-yomjm2gg.txt	./txt/cord-276403-yomjm2gg.txt
