Abstract

[Over the last century, the global human population has more than quadrupled, leading to anthropogenic and environmental impacts that have disrupted the interactions between pathogens, humans and animal hosts. More than 60% of emerging infectious diseases affecting humans are considered zoonotic, with >70% of these originating from wild animals.
