Reviews for One Health: People, Animals, and the Environment
This book provides a comprehensive overview of how the One Health concept needs to bring together human and veterinary and scientific communities to understand the events that underlie the emergence of new infectious challenges. Should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in zoonotic diseases.
