Across nearly half of Rajasthan's districts, an avian influenza outbreak has quietly redrawn the boundaries between the wild and the human world. More than three thousand birds — crows, peacocks, pigeons — have perished, and the virus has reached the gates of Jaipur's zoo, a place where people and wildlife have long shared proximity. The speed of the spread, still advancing as of Monday, raises the older and harder question that every zoonotic outbreak eventually asks: how long before the boundary holds no longer.
