Urgent need for integrated pandemic policies on pathogen spillover
Pallavi A Kache, Sonila Cook, Nigel Sizer, Lee Hannah, Neil M Vora
In response to COVID-19, international organisations (eg, WHO and G20) have convened multiple expert panels tasked with objectives such as assessing what happened during COVID-19, why it happened, and how it can be prevented from happening again.1, 2 Unfortunately, these panels have failed to develop comprehensive strategies that address the source of most emerging infectious diseases: spillover of pathogens from animals to people.
