Age of the panzootic: scientists warn of more devastating diseases jumping between species

H5N1 has been circulating in dairy farms, with dozens of human infections reported among farm workers.

It has now jumped into more than 48 species of mammals, from bears to dairy cows, causing mass die-offs in sea lions and elephant seal pups.

Panzootic means all’ and animals’: an epidemic that leaps species barriers and can devastate diverse animal populations.

Scientists say panzootics could become one of the era’s defining threats to human health.

The more pathogens there are in animal populations, the greater risk there is of humans being exposed to them.

Honigsbaum says: “We are going to see more of these outbreaks, and it’s only just a matter of time before one of them causes another pandemic” “I don’t see those risks going away,” says Hutchinson .
