Dear Colleagues
 
Here in Mali, there is a great deal of discussion about bushmeat consumption. This is largely generated by the Ebola epidemic. (We know that the first transmission is animal-human, but afterwards the epidemic is wholly driven by human to human transmission.) 

The Ebola campaign is asking people to not eat bushmeat, but we are concerned that this would eliminate an important source of nutrients and calories in a country with very high rates of anemia and malnutrition. 

Is there any data out there on the proportions of bushmeat in the rural sub-African diet (particularly in West Africa) and its nutritional value? 

Thank you for your assistance.
