DESCRIPTION:The rapid\, global spread and human health impacts of the seve
 re acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2\; the agent of COV
 ID-19 disease) have demonstrated humanity’s vulnerability to zoonotic di
 sease pandemics from bats. While most emerging zoonotic infections origina
 te in wildlife\, mechanisms driving this process are rarely elucidated. We
  show how pathogens are transmitted from bats to humans in different conte
 xts. We show one system where loss of winter habitat interacts with climat
 ic factors to drive henipavirus spillover from fruit bats to livestock and
  how habitat restoration could stop spillover. \n\n\nChaired by Dr Olivier
