More than 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic and although Ebola and Zika are well-known, there are many other diseases including Rift Valley fever and Lassa fever which affect thousands already and are predicted to spread with changing environmental factors.
A model that predicts outbreaks of zoonotic diseases based on changes in climate, population growth and land use has been developed by a UCL-led team of researchers....
