One Health and Zoonoses

Abstract

One Health, as a concept, recognizes that the health of humans, animals, and their ecosystems are interconnected, and to better understand and respond to zoonotic and emerging diseases requires coordinated, collaborative, multidisciplinary, and cross-sectoral approaches. The purpose of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the breadth of the One Health concept, and the need to utilize One Health approaches in developing strategies to improve the surveillance, detection, and response to zoonotic diseases, including understanding some of the drivers of antimicrobial resistance, and the need to manage the role of animals in the generation of resistance.
