Summarizing US Wildlife Trade with an Eye Toward Assessing the Risk of Infectious Disease Introduction	2017-02-07		.txt	text/plain	5504	241	48	Timber and plants are estimated to comprise nearly 70% of the known (broadly defined) wildlife global trade value, leaving non-aquaculture fisheries products responsible for 28% and ornamental fish, mammals, herpetofauna and other species responsible for roughly 2% (US $5.27 billion) (Engler and Parry-Jones 2007; Ahlenius 2008) . Nearly one-third of all wildlife shipments entering the USA contained live animals, the vast majority of which were imported by the aquatic and pet industry. Over 11 billion specimens and an additional 977 million kilograms of wildlife were imported during the period examined, with one-third of shipments containing live animals, mostly for the aquatic and pet trade. The majority of illegal shipments of live non-aquatic wildlife were confiscated at the Mexican border, especially those containing reptiles and birds imported for the pet trade (Ferrier 2009 ).	./cache/cord-350956-ytcwt9qk.txt	./txt/cord-350956-ytcwt9qk.txt
