To feed and house the 8 billion people on this planet, large-scale land use changes are causing biodiversity to decline at an unprecedented rate. The frontier between wildlife, humans and domestic animals is shrinking day by day and favors the passage of pathogens between these different reservoirs. The health crisis caused by the Nipah virus, the result of a viral passage between fruit bats, pigs and humans is a perfect example. The consumption of bushmeat and the sale of wild animals in markets where livestock and wild animals mix amplify these transmission risks. Only a multidisciplinary globalized public health approach can anticipate and reduce the risks of a future pandemic.
为了养活和安置地球上的80亿人口，大规模的土地利用变化正导致生物多样性以前所未有的速度下降。野生动物、人类和家畜之间的界限日益缩小，有利于病原体在这些不同宿主之间传播。由尼帕病毒引起的健康危机就是一个典型例子，该病毒在果蝠、猪和人类之间传播。在牲畜和野生动物混居的市场上，食用野味和买卖野生动物加剧了这些传播风险。只有采取多学科的全球化公共卫生方法，才能预测并降低未来大流行的风险。
