was not the first infection to spill over from wildlife into the human population. And it won't be the last.

, spread by fruit bats, has jumped to humans several times with a case fatality rate of 1-in-5 to 9-in-10. Serious potential here.

Nipah infections and deaths are in Bangladesh are at their highest since 2015. the infection source is, as seems to be the usual situation, the consumption of raw (unpasteurised) palm sap.

While total numbers are small so far (15), it has been more lethal than many previous outbreaks (11 deaths)

A fascinating article featuring Wuhan-based virologist Shi Zhengli who helped identify coronaviruses. But the main message is this: Outbreaks from viruses crossing species will always occur. It's better to spend a small, regular amount to set up and run a regular monitoring system now than to be walloped by a huge expenditure when (not if) it happens again.
