Zoonotic Disease Risk at Traditional Food Markets
Jan. 29, 2026 | 10 a.m. ET
Join us for the next Journal of Virology Seminar Series webinar, where Frida E. Sparaciari, Ph.D., will present on the zoonotic disease risks associated with traditional food markets (TFMs). This webinar will explore how TFMs support millions of livelihoods and remain essential to daily life in many regions.This dynamic also brings humans, animals and the environment into close contact, creating opportunities for zoonotic pathogens to emerge and spread. This webinar will unpack what current evidence tells us about these risks and highlight how targeted surveillance and One Health strategies can help make TFMs safer while preserving their cultural and economic value.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Understand how TFM practices and systems contribute to disease emergence and transmission.
- Understand the role of zoonotic pathogens and risk factors associated with TFMs.
- Learn how environmental surveillance and One Health approaches can help detect and reduce zoonotic disease risks.
Presenters
- Frida E. Sparaciari, Ph.D., Institut Pasteur du Cambodge, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
- Moderated by Tuli Mukhopadhyay, Ph.D., Indiana University.
- Hosted by Stacey Schultz-Cherry, Ph.D., Co-Editor in Chief, Journal of Virology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
About the Journal
The ® (JVI) is a 黑料正能量journal dedicated to publishing primary research, minireviews and other article formats that interrogate fundamental processes and structure in viruses, the mechanisms by which they interact and evolve with their host and environment, novel methodologies and therapeutic and diagnostic strategies.
