The interface between humans and wildlife is changing and, with it, the potential for pathogen introduction into humans has increased. Avian influenza is a prominent example, with an ongoing outbreak showing the unprecedented expansion of both geographic and host ranges. Research in the field is essential to understand this and other zoonotic threats. Only by monitoring dynamic viral populations and defining their biology can we gather the information needed to ensure effective pandemic preparation.
人类与野生动物的接触面正在改变，由此增加了病原体传入人类体内的可能性。禽流感就是一个显著的例子，目前的疫情表明其地理和宿主范围都在以前所未有的速度扩张。该领域的研究对于理解这一现象和其他人畜共患病威胁至关重要。只有通过监测动态病毒群体并定义其生物学特性，我们才能收集到所需的信息，以确保有效的大流行准备。
