The Canary Database, named for the proverbial sentinels in coal mines and headquartered at the Yale School of Medicine, is a clearinghouse for information about zoonoses (diseases that spread from animals to humans, like West Nile virus and avian influenza), possible bioterrorist attacks, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and household toxins such as lead and pesticides.
"zoonoses" は文中に注があるので動物から人に感染する病気のことだと分かりますが、一応辞書で確認します。"zoonoses" は複数形で、単数形は "zoonosis" はとありました。

The 2009 swine flu outbreak was but the latest wave in an ocean of diseases emerging from the jungle, the factory farm, the beach, the backyard bird feeder...perphaps even the doghouse and the litter box. The avian flu scare of 2005, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) panic of 2003, the monkeypox eruption the same year, the Ebora worry of 1996, the mad cow terror in Great Britain in the late 1980s--exotic zoonoses are nothing new. Thnik of a big, infectious killer and its's probably zoonotic, spread or harbored by other animals.
