Germany has expanding agricultural frontiers bordering wildlife habitat where novel pathogens can jump species, but there is no routine, affordable genomic surveillance at these interfaces to catch spillover before human transmission begins.

Deforestation, wildlife trade, and dense urbanisation increase contact between humans and animal reservoirs, enabling novel pathogens to emerge. Planetary-health surveillance systems and adaptable vaccine platforms will be essential.

Build ethical, affordable systems to monitor animal handlers, farms, markets, and wildlife interfaces for pathogens with pandemic potential before sustained human transmission begins.

Despite recognition of its importance, reliable methods for integrated wildlife-livestock-human zoonotic spillover surveillance are still lacking. Progress is hindered by incomplete mechanistic knowledge, high capital and operational barriers, and the absence of deployment models suited to the contexts of greatest need.

A persistent gap exists in realizing practical, scalable solutions for real-time systems for detecting and responding to the emergence of novel zoonotic diseases. Scientific understanding, engineering readiness and institutional capacity remain insufficient to translate promising concepts into durable impact under real-world constraints of cost, skills and governance.

Despite recognition of its importance, reliable methods for platform technologies for 30-day zoonotic antiviral response are still lacking. Progress is hindered by incomplete mechanistic knowledge, high capital and operational barriers, and the absence of deployment models suited to the contexts of greatest need.
