Discover the science of how viruses can jump from one species to another and the deadly epidemics that can result from these pathogens.

—

At a Maryland country fair in 2017, farmers reported feverish hogs with inflamed eyes and running snouts. While farmers worried about the pigs, the department of health was concerned about a group of sick fairgoers. Soon, 40 of these attendees would be diagnosed with swine flu. How can pathogens from one species infect another, and what makes this jump so dangerous? Ben Longdon explains.

Humankind has faced many diseases throughout its history and most of them come from where you least expect them, including animals. In this video, you’ll meet those that caused catastrophic results.

—————————————————————————

Bubonic plague
One event that probably marked a milestone in human history was the black death in the fourteenth century.

Malaria
If you ever visit the beautiful African continent or play Jumanji, you’d better take with you mosquito repellent.

Anthrax
You must always pay close attention to what you’re eating as it could be infected with anthrax bacteria.

Lyme disease
Waking up with a deer tick buried in your skin must be a nightmare I’d never want to have, but if you remove it and still feel terrible, you may have caught Lyme disease.

Cysticercosis
Have you ever imagined what it would be like to have creatures developing inside you? Well, that’s Cysticercosis about.

Ebola
You probably remember the Ebola disease from the outbreak between 2013 and 2016, but this disease is actually very common in Africa and for the worst reasons.

Tetanus
Despite the fact that today it’s considered a rare disease thanks to the vaccines to combat it, tetanus still wreaks havoc on the world.

AIDS
When AIDS caught the media’s attention, many people decided to ignore this disease as they thought this concerned the homosexual community only.

H1N1
Before the novel coronavirus paralyzed the world, the latter had a bad scare due to the disease pandemic during 2009 and 2010.

Covid-19
Without a doubt, the coronavirus pandemic has been the disease with the highest media coverage in modern history.

Remember that in these difficult times it is the moment to prevent and follow the recommendations so #StayHome and learn #WithMe.
