Cover Story: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant damage to human health, societies, and economies in every corner of the world. This illness is zoonotic, a disease that transmits between animals and humans. An estimated 60 percent of known infectious diseases in humans are zoonotic. SARS, Ebola, the Hendra virus, and bird flu came to people through animals. As we seek to re-build better post-COVID-19, we need to fully understand the transmission of zoonoses, the threats they pose to global health security, and how to minimise the risk of future devastating outbreaks. This requires an ambitious line of enquiry coordinated through a data-driven One Health approach, which demands that we break down organisational and disciplinary silos, and strengthen surveillance systems with cutting-edge machine learning modelling capabilities.
