Plain-English summary
The One Health concept, which looks at the connections between animal and human health, is becoming more important. Over the next year, a veterinary journal will publish a series of articles by experts to help explain this idea and how working together across different fields can address global health issues. One of the articles will provide a background on the history of One Health, discuss current challenges, and explore what the future may bring. This initiative aims to promote understanding and collaboration in tackling health problems that affect both people and animals.
Abstract
The One Health concept is gathering momentum and, over the next 12 months, Veterinary Record will be publishing a series of articles to help encourage that process. Written by specialists in a range of fields, the articles will consider the meaning of One Health, the interactions between animal and human health and how a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach could help to solve emerging global problems. To set the scene, Paul Gibbs outlines the recent history of One Health, discusses current challenges and muses on what the future might hold.
