The use of animal organs in humans - xenotransplanation - is more than 100 years old, but is now accelerating due to genetically modified pig organs that are not rejected.

Epidemics and pandemics can be prevented if funding is increased for emerging infections, especially in low and middle income countries. This will boost infrastructure in hotspots and ensure that research reflects local priorities, rather than neo-colonialist attitudes (6 of 6)
Laboratory diagnosis and sequencing capacity built for SARS-CoV-2 is being dismantled.
This should be maintained and used for other diseases, including emerging viruses like monkeypox, to improve health and boost the economy: a healthy worker is a productive worker (5 of 6)
Every zoonotic infection should be a cause for concern, but research funding seems to flow only when high-income countries are heavily affected.
More research is needed on dengue, Ebola, Marburg, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Lassa fever, Nipah and others.

Many questions about monkeypox could have been answered during decades of outbreaks in Western and Central Africa.
What is the animal reservoir? How effective are smallpox vaccines? Which anti-virals work? How does the virus transmit from person-to-person?
(3 of 6)
In 2017 an outbreak of monkeypox spread in Nigeria after a 40-year absence. Orthopoxvirus research dropped off the cliff after the eradication of smallpox, but this funding should have re-started in 2017, or before.
