What will cause the next pandemic?

Bats harbour hundreds of diseases that can be harmful to humans, as do pigs, birds and boar. So it’s their fault right? Wrong. In the second episode we speak to our scientists and experts about how human activity has caused disease in the past, and how we’re creating more opportunities every day for a spillover.

Stopping the Next One is a series by Harriet Constable in collaboration with BBC Future, with funding support from the Pulitzer Center.
