From the emergence of Hendra virus and Menangle virus in Australia to the global pandemics of severe acute respiratory syndrome and influenza viruses (both H5N1 and H1N1), there has been a surge of zoonotic virus outbreaks in the last two decades. Although the drivers for virus emergence remain poorly understood, the rate of discovery of new viruses is accelerating. This is due to a combination of true emergence of new pathogens and the advance of new technologies making rapid detection and characterisation possible. While molecular approaches will continue to lead the way in virus discovery, other technological platforms are required to increase the chance of success. The lessons learnt in the last 20 years confirm that the One Health approach, involving inclusive collaborations between physicians, veterinarians and other health and environmental professionals, will be the key to combating future zoonotic disease outbreaks.
从澳大利亚出现亨德拉病毒和梅南加病毒，到严重急性呼吸综合征和流感病毒（H5N1和H1N1）的全球大流行，在过去二十年里人畜共患病毒爆发激增。尽管病毒出现的驱动因素仍知之甚少，但新病毒的发现速度正在加快。这是新病原体真正出现以及新技术进步使快速检测和特征描述成为可能这两者共同作用的结果。虽然分子方法将继续在病毒发现中引领潮流，但还需要其他技术平台来增加成功的机会。过去20年吸取的经验教训证实，“同一健康”方法，即医生、兽医以及其他卫生和环境专业人员之间的包容性合作，将是应对未来人畜共患疾病爆发的关键。
