Approximately 80 percent of the respondents believed the closure of the illegal wildlife market would prevent the spread of a similar disease in the future.

Original question: How likely would you be to support the efforts by governments and health ministries to close all illegal and unregulated markets selling wildlife (i.e., animals coming from the wild, direct from nature such as bats, pangolins, and civet cats, not livestock which are farmed)in your country?
Respondents were randomly selected and were representative of gender and age of the online population of their respective market.
For the purpose of this survey, ‘wild animals’ are defined as non-domesticated,
non-livestock terrestrial animals (non-insect and non-aquatic).
Note: Values may not add up to 100 percent due to possible non-responses or other reasons not stated by the source.
