But we currently lack the widespread, sufficiently resourced infrastructure for infectious disease intelligence to truly monitor the sharing of parasites and pathogens between animal species, and between non-human animals and ourselves. Networks of diagnostic laboratories like the World Health Organization’s Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System and the United States’ National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System do their best to listen to the chatter. To be sure, there are some of us who are listening. Perhaps we are not listening because the chatter is drowned out by the noise of election politics, the war in Ukraine, and economic inflation. Quammen’s concern is that we aren’t listening to the chatter, at least not closely enough. Burke, is that a certain virus “wants” to spill across that gap between animal hosts and humans, and spread itself widely. What this pattern signals to the wary, such as Dr. But the “occasionally” part means that it’s a repeating pattern, which is bad - or at least ominous. Typically these one-off infections come to a dead end, which is good. Quammen calls such observations of spillover from one species to another “viral chatter”, an idea he attributes to American epidemiologist Don Burke. What confers the potential for cross-species transmission is undoubtedly complex, and a question of great significance to scientists currently studying disease ecology. Indeed, we have long known that some parasites (like the parasitic Rat Lungworm that causes lung infections in many mammals) are generalists, while others are specialists. These are only some of the latest examples where we have learned of parasite spillover between animal species.
