Also worth to mention that humans created ideal bioreactor for creating new viruses—and that is pigs. Pigs could ill human, avian and animal flu viruses and recombinate them. Population of pigs is growing with economic growth and now is around one billion.
Another “bioreactor” is widespread use of antibiotics which lead to creating of new superbags.
Growing human population is also contribute to the chances of appearance of new superbug.
But in fact I a little bit dissapointed by this 4th risks as it seems similar to biohazards mentioned earlier. It could be not easy to distingush natural pandemic and bioweapon usage.
