Most pandemics originate from zoonotic diseases, which are infections that jump from animals to humans. This typically occurs in regions where humans and wildlife interact closely, such as in wet markets or areas with high biodiversity. Factors like urbanization, deforestation, and climate change can increase the likelihood of these spillover events. Historical examples include the origins of HIV from primates and the emergence of COVID-19, which is believed to have started from bats.
