摘要
Microbes have a long history of spilling over from animals to humans,resulting in occasional surprise attacks on the global population.One of the most recent of these attacks,coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),led to the most harmful and widespread respiratory infectious disease pandemic during the last century.COVID-19 has not only taken a heavy toll on human life and health around the world,but also introduced formidable challenges to global economic development,technological innovation,social progress,and national and international politics.In addition,the pandemic has fostered new insights into how to understand and prepare for outbreaks of emerging infectious diseases,how to better utilize technological and social interventions to prevent or respond to these outbreaks,and how to implement science-based control and treatment to mitigate their effects.
