In this episode, we will look at the work taking place to detect viruses and stop them before they spill over. From surveilling bats in Cambodia to see how far and where they fly each night, to testing out vaccine candidates on wild boar in Germany, we learn about the global collaborations taking place and hear from the individuals working to avoid the next pandemic.

Stopping the Next One is a series by Harriet Constable in collaboration with BBC Future with funding support from the Pulitzer Center.
