Plain-English summary
Research on diseases that can spread between animals and humans has often been scattered and uncoordinated. Teresa Belcher and Diane Newell are talking about a new initiative called Med-Vet-Net, which is a "virtual institute" designed to bring together researchers from both human and veterinary medicine throughout the European Union. The goal is to improve collaboration and communication among scientists studying these important health issues. This effort aims to create a more unified approach to understanding and managing zoonotic diseases.
Abstract
