For so many people, it's hard to fathom how deadly pathogens can cross from animal hosts to human hosts. I think it's important to point out cases of #zoonosis where sturdy work has been done to show potential links from a likely reservoir. This is even more important since our last pandemic. If the wider public saw more examples of zoonoses, then perhaps this major source of emerging human pathogens would not continue to be enigmatic to the lay public.
