monograph, any allied health scientist, physician, osteopath or
veterinarian may be added to one and/or both lists by contacting
us at bkapdvm@verizon.net.

Those

attempt to augment and support those organisations' efforts to recognise,
promote and implement this initiative, such as the American Veterinary
Medical Association, American Medical Association, Society for Tropical
Veterinary Medicine, Croatian Society for Infectious Diseases, American
Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, World Association of Veterinary
Laboratory Diagnosticians, Delta Society, American Association of
Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, American Phytopathological

of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, Association of Academic
Health Centers, Association of American Medical Colleges and Immuno
Valley Consortium in The Netherlands.
This
autonomous endeavour has been maintained pro bono due to our firm
conviction regarding the enormous value of the One
Medicine -
One Health
concept.
