Where Will The Next Pandemic Come From?

The video discusses how many new diseases originate from animals, particularly those with traits that make them more likely to spread diseases to humans. These animals, often fast-breeding species like rodents, have simple immune systems that allow them to carry infections for long periods. As humans encroach on natural habitats, the risk of disease transmission increases. Monitoring these high-risk species is crucial for predicting and preventing future outbreaks.

Why are species like raccoons, mice, and brown rats significant in the context of pandemics?
