The ongoing coronavirus disease 19s pandemic has yet again demonstrated the importance of human-animal interface in emergence zoonotic diseases, and particular role wildlife livestock species as potential hosts virus reservoirs. As most diseases emerge out interface, a better understanding specific drivers mechanisms involved is crucial to prepare for future outbreaks. Interactions between systems contribute especially face globalization, habitat fragmentation destruction climate change. several groups viruses bacteria are more likely emerge, we focus on pathogenic Bunyavirales, Coronaviridae, Flaviviridae, Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae, well bacterial including Mycobacterium sp., Brucella Bacillus anthracis Coxiella burnetii. Noteworthy, it was difficult predict past, even well-known pathogens. Thus, an improved surveillance hotspot areas availability fast, effective, adaptable control measures would definitely preparedness. We here propose strategies mitigate risk and/or re-emergence prioritized pathogens prevent epidemics.

With no vaccine or curative treatment available, fatality rates as high 94% past outbreaks, is critical concern for authorities worldwide. Transmitted primarily through contact with fruit bats consumption contaminated food, well direct human-to-human transmission, NiV remains highly lethal unpredictable pathogen. World Health Organization has classified priority pathogen due to its alarming potential cause widespread outbreaks even trigger next pandemic.
