Bats are a common source of animal-to-human diseases Diseases transmitted from animals to humans could kill 12 times as many people in 2050 than they did in 2020, researchers have claimed. Epidemics caused by zoonotic diseases – also known as spillovers – could be more frequent in the future due to climate change and deforestation, they warned. Experts from US biotech company Ginkgo Bioworks called for ‘urgent action’ to address the risk to global public health.
Researchers said epidemics have been increasing by almost 5% every year between 1963 and 2019, with deaths up by 9%. ‘If these annual rates of increase continue, we would expect the analysed pathogens to cause four times the number of spillover events and 12 times the number of deaths in 2050 than in 2020,’ the team said.
