Name one that can jump between most large mammal species that is highly lethal. Just one. Yes, there are diseases that can jump species. There are diseases which are lethal. But one that can jump to such a broad range of species, and is lethal to all of them, is not evidenced by what we find in the world.
Why would we necessarily be talking about one disease? The land bridge that allowed us across would have also allowed other animals to cross. You've got the meeting of two viral and bacterial worlds.
