Description

Naturalist David Quammen sets out to identify the sources of outbreaks of zoonotic diseases, animal-hosted diseases which now make up 60% of human infectious diseases, and asks what we can do to prevent them. He discusses how such concrete knowledge can be used to prevent the next pandemic from spreading across the globe.
