The risk of a pandemic caused by “disease X”

Disease X,” which could lead to a pandemic, will be difficult to avoid.

This was stated by the head of the State Administration for Disease Control and Prevention of China, Wang Hesheng.

The most important characteristics of a potential “disease X” are high pathogenicity, high rate of spread, and it mutates easily.

At the same time, it is very difficult to predict the place and time of emergence of a new pathogen.

The risk of a pandemic caused by Disease X continues to increase due to factors such as accelerating global climate change.

There is also a risk of increased human activity and increased interspecies transmission of pathogens.
