Strengthened global surveillance, rapid response protocols, and the 2025 WHO Pandemic Agreement underpin trader consensus favoring no new pandemic before 2028. Recent Ebola (Bundibugyo virus) and Marburg outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, and Ethiopia were contained within weeks through national efforts and WHO coordination, with limited international spread. Mpox's PHEIC status ended in 2025 amid contained clade Ib transmission, while cholera and other events remain regionally managed. No novel pathogen currently exhibits sustained human-to-human transmission meeting pandemic thresholds, despite ongoing monitoring for Disease X and zoonotic threats. These developments, alongside IHR amendments, reflect improved detection and containment capacity compared to prior decades.
