Effect of Ebola Virus on Bush Meat Sales in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria
The Ebola virus and its link to bush meat species in Nigeria was received differently by people. While some believed and took precautions others did not and continued the consumption of bush meat. Consequently, a survey of ten markets in Benin City was undertaken between December 2014 and April 2015 to compare bush meat patronage during the pre- and post -Ebola period. Markets visited included, Oba Market, New Benin Market, Oliha market, Uwa market, Santana market, Evbuotubu market, Oregbeni market, Uselu market, Ekiosa market and Ugbighokho market.
