Asian Insider Ep 21: Wildlife and the virus - the Wuhan wake-up call

15:06 mins

Synopsis: This is Asian Insider, a series by The Straits Times every week. Together with our stable of 30 correspondents based around the world, we give an Asian perspective on the global talking points of the week.

The Wuhan Virus is not the first to jump from wildlife to humans. This is always a worry for those working in public health and aiming to end the wildlife and exotic pet trade.

The Straits Times US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh speaks to zoonotic disease expert Dr Peter Daszak and wildlife crime expert Justin Gosling.

Produced by: Nirmal Ghosh & Zia-ul Raushan
