The Importance of the “One Health” Initiative
New infectious diseases are arising at an alarming frequency, making it imperative to understand where emerging diseases come from and why. Although the health of humans, animals, and the environment are inextricably interconnected, practices in human and veterinary medicine rarely recognize these linkages. The "One Health" initiative integrates these three disciplines to develop upstream approaches to prevent disease.
