<p>UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is aware of the paper Animal diseases and human
future by Min Cui, Bang Shen et al published in Animal Diseases, April 2022. The paper
asserts that “approximately 60% of human infectious diseases are zoonotic, and 75%
of emerging human infectious diseases originate from animals”. While there is not
one internationally agreed figure for the percentages of diseases, emerging or established,
that are zoonotic, these figures are broadly in line with that of global public health
partners such as World Organisation for Animal Health.</p>
