This was disclosed in a, preventing the next pandemic: Zoonotic diseases and how to break the chain of transmission, published Monday.
It says zoonotic diseases also known as zoonoses are illnesses caused by pathogens that spread from animals to people and from people to animals. It says while these diseases emerged in different parts of the world, “they have one thing in common which scientists call zoonotic diseases— infections that jump between animals and humans, some of which leave illness and death in their wake.”
The head of scientific assessments at UNEP, Maarten Kappelle, also said “People look back to the influenza pandemic of 1918–1919 and think that such disease outbreaks only happen once in a century, but that’s no longer true. If we don’t restore the balance between the natural world and the human one, these outbreaks will become increasingly prevalent.”
