Wildlife trade is the biggest risk factor for the global spread of emerging infectious diseases and zoonosis. Spain is an entry point for species from Africa and America, and although there is a special body within the Police Force, the Environmental Protection Service (SEPRONA) effectively in charge of illegal wildlife seizures, the trade of illegal wildlife in Spain has an estimated turnover of around 450.000 euros, turning the risk of entry of illegal wildlife, and with it the risk of introducing diseases, non-negligible. We present the first part of a novel study to evaluate the risk of introduction of diseases through illegal wildlife trade, starting with the analysis of seizures of avian species and their products and their health status
