Toward proof of concept of a One Health approach to disease prediction and control
Conference Proceeding
Rabinowitz, P. M., Kock, R. A., Kachani, M., Kunkel, R., Thomas, J., Gilbert, J., …Stone Mountain One Health Proof Of Concept Working Group, . Toward proof of concept of a One Health approach to disease prediction and control. https://doi.org/10.3201/eid1912.130265

A One Health approach considers the role of changing environments with regard to infectious and chronic disease risks affecting humans and nonhuman animals. Recent disease emergence events have lent support to a One Health approach. In 2010, the Ston... Read More about Toward proof of concept of a One Health approach to disease prediction and control.
