You can monitor existing viruses in wild animal populations and give them treatment before it mutates and goes to humans. This would be relatively cheap compared to solving the problem afterwards. We now know that bats are prime suspects for carriers of these diseases because they them selves don’t get sick much from them, live is close quarters, fly and are mammals.

You'd be wasting money, though, and not necessarily saving money. Most animal diseases do not cross over to humans and IIRC, most of them that have crossed over come from farm animals. More people live in close contact with farm animals than they do things like bats.

This effort would honestly be better spent working on things humans already have.
