Risk factors for human disease emergence.
TL;DR: This study represents the first quantitative analysis identifying risk factors for human disease emergence, with protozoa and viruses particularly likely to emerge, and helminths particularly unlikely to do so, irrespective of their zoonotic status.

Diseases of humans and their domestic mammals: pathogen characteristics, host range and the risk of emergence
TL;DR: A database of disease-causing pathogens of humans and domestic mammals was constructed and it was found that helminths and fungi were relatively unlikely to emerge whereas viruses, particularly RNA viruses, were highly likely to emerge.
