Infectious Diseases Emerging From Chinese Wet-Markets: Zoonotic Origins of Severe Respiratory Viral Infections
Patrick Cy Woo et al. Curr Opin Infect Dis. 2006 Oct.
Abstract
Purpose of review: In China, close contacts between humans and food animals have resulted in the transmission of many microbes from animals to humans. The two most notable infectious diseases in recent years are severe acute respiratory syndrome and avian influenza. In this review, these two severe zoonotic viral infections transmitted by the respiratory route, with pandemic potential, are used as models to illustrate the role of Chinese wet-markets in their emergence, amplification and dissemination.

And yet, they are still open.
People still frequent them.
Maybe these scientists need to go rescue the folks in China
from themselves.
By the way, you can find a paper to back just about anything.
Opinions differ. I’m actually neutral on it.
