The deadliest diseases known to humankind include many zoonoses, that means diseases transferred to us from animals. In this video, we will take a look at emerging zoonotic diseases, like COVID 19 and where they come from. Join us for this exciting paper by Magouras and co-authors: ‘Emerging Zoonotic Diseases: Should We Rethink the Animal-Human Interface?’

Special thanks goes to our non-amphibic resident zoonologist for all the support in making this video!
