WASHINGTON DC – The Pasteur Institute in Cambodia said it is researching wildlife trade and consumption in the country’s north in order to better understand the health risk posed by pathogen transmission from wild animals to humans.
The research comes amid growing scientific attention for pathogens in wildlife species in Southeast Asia as the possible source of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has caused a devastating global pandemic.
The Pasteur Institute told VOA Khmer that a team of scientists has been conducting an 18-month study since April 2020 on wildlife trade and consumption in Mondulkiri and Stung Treng provinces.
The main purpose of the research is to provide knowledge on the trade in and health of wildlife in order to identify possible pathogen transmission from animals to humans that can pose a threat to public health, the institute said.

Community Concerns
The Lower Sesan 2 Hydropower Project is located on the Sesan River, Stung Treng Province, Cambodia, below the confluence of the major Sesan and Srepok tributaries and about 25km from the Mekong River. The communities impacted by the project largely depend on the land and natural resources along the river. According to the affected communities, the dam project has caused major adverse impacts to their ancestral land, their livelihoods and traditional practices, whereas these impacts have not been properly addressed or compensated.
