Preventing the Next Pandemic -- Zoonotic Disease and How to Break Chain of Transmission
This report is one of the first that specifically focuses on the environmental side of the zoonotic dimension of disease outbreaks during the COVID-19 pandemic. It tries to fill a critical knowledge gap and provide policymakers with a better understanding of the context and nature of potential future zoonotic disease outbreaks. It examines the root causes of the COVID-19 pandemic and other “zoonoses,” which the World Health Organization defines as human diseases or infections that are naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans.
