Abstract
The One Health initiative (http://www.onehealthinitiative. com/) encompasses the health of humans, animals and the environment, recognising the indivisible interconnections that exist between these domains. As over 60% of emerging and re-emerging diseases are transmitted from animals to humans (zoonoses), theOneHealth initiative has significant potential to reduce the global health threat caused by infectious diseases.
