"Many of the most threatening pandemics in history—including HIV/AIDS,
Ebola, and COVID-19, which is thought to be linked to bats—spilled over
from wildlife populations to humans. Over the last century, scientists
believe about two viruses a year have been passed to people from their
natural animal hosts. Identifying emerging infectious disease threats in
animals before they can spread into human populations may help quash a
future outbreak before it begins."
