Human encroachment into animal habitats is increasing the risk of new infectious diseases.

Researchers from the US and Australia found that domesticated species, primates, bats and rats accounted for the vast majority of zoonotic diseases - those which transfer from animals to humans and account for 70 per cent of all human pathogens. 

But it also found that hunting, the wildlife trade and the conversion of land for agriculture was increasing the interaction of humans with wild animals and with it the risk of disease transmission.

Explanation:

Habitat destruction is a leading cause of species endangerment. Habitat encroachment increases the contact between human populations and animal populations. Shrinking habitat and accessible sources of food from expanding urban and suburban land use have brought animals and humans into conflict.

The primary individual cause of loss of habitat is the clearing of land for agriculture. ... The loss of wetlands, plains, lakes, and other natural environments all destroy or degrade habitat, as do other human activities such as introducing invasive species, polluting, trading in wildlife, and engaging in wars.
