Zoonotic diseases: Threats to both animals and humans

It took a global pandemic for the majority of the world to sit up and take notice about the threat of zoonotic diseases spilling over from wild populations, but of course zoos have been aware of this danger for years. This session will explore trends in spillover events, what's driving them, and -- crucially -- how we can all reduce risk.
