Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic

David Quammen's "Spillover: Animal Infections and the Next Human Pandemic" — the definitive account of zoonotic diseases. Covers how animal viruses jump to humans (Hendra, SARS, Ebola, Nipah, HIV/AIDS), why spillover events are increasing, and the ecological drivers of emerging pandemics. A work of science journalism that reads like a global detective story. Covers 7 use cases: ① What Is Zoonosis? — "How do animal diseases become human diseases?" ② Hendra — "What happened in Australia in 1994?" ③ Bats — "Why are bats the main reservoir?" ④ SARS — "How did SARS emerge?" ⑤ HIV — "Where did AIDS come from?" ⑥ Prediction — "Can we predict the next pandemic?" ⑦ Prevention — "What can we do to stop the next one?"
