Summary
An
eclectic collection of papers by physicians, veterinarians and other
allied health medical scientists on the ‘One
Medicine -
One Health’
concept has been assembled in this monograph. The contributions
include thirteen individual ‘One
Health’
papers by fifty-three participants from twelve countries. The authors
joined to confront various global health threats. In addition to
the participating countries, individuals from twenty-six other nations
have united as supporters of the ‘One
Health initiative’.
Biomedical research, scientific knowledge, environmental health,
public health, individual health and clinical health care will all
be enhanced by implementing the ‘One
Medicine - One Health’
concept which promotes co-equal, cross-disciplinary communication
and collaboration. The scientific coalition that evolves through
this collaborative effort will significantly enhance human and animal
health for future generations.
