Abstract

The study aims to emphasize the relativity of pandemics and their zoonotic spillover. During recent decades the chance of pandemics occurring has increased many folds. So, the study thoroughly reviewed seven zoonotic spillovers from bats in history that led us to the common feature that close contact of bats with other species including humans is the major reason for pandemics. Due to anthropogenesis bats started moving into buildings for survival, reproduction, and swarming became the susceptible source of disease transmission. The study aims to suggest measures that could help to prevent bat-borne viral outbreaks in the future.
