Abstract
The article deals with preventing the spillover of animal viruses to humans to avoid disease outbreaks. Topics include some of the factors that increase the risk of this virus transmission such as population growth, urbanization and greater consumption of meat, a brief background on pandemics in history such as the Great Influenza in 1918 and the Covid-19 that killed millions of people in the U.S., and the estimated number animal viruses that scientists have yet to characterize.
