For the first time ever, an international team of researchers has
mapped out the areas around the world where infectious diseases,
passed from animals to humans, have originated. Using data that dates
back to the early 1940s, the study concludes that diseases that
originate in animals, called zoonoses, are the biggest threat to
humans today.

Actually, I think it is man's degradation of the environment. However, what study is this? Although I may have missed it, I didn't see any journal or research group named.
