Lots of others, a few come to mind:

The jump of bovine spongiform encephalitis (Mad Cow Disease) from cows to humans (variant Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease).

The jump of canine distemper virus from dogs to seals .... my eskimo friends still cringe when anyone mentions this one. (Hopefully, they are not reading this.)

That wouldn't be a species cross, though.  More along the lines of interplanatary crossover!
