The 2014/2015 Ebola crisis in West Africa has also been definitively traced to people eating bats. There's biological reasons why bats are reservoirs of viruses that are not harmful to themselves, but to many other mammals.

But not a global pandemic, and I'm guessing less serious than swine flu and bird flu, which we still eat.
