It wasn't that long ago that most people believed infectious diseases originated in the will of the gods, or immoral behaviour. For the ancients, malaria hailed from the “rage of the dog star”. For 19th-century sanitarians, cholera arose from foul gases. These days, we know better. As microbiologist Nathan Wolfe describes in The Viral Storm: The Dawn of a New Pandemic Age, most of humankind's infectious pathogens originate not from the air or the stars but from the bodies of wild animals.
