ONE HEALTH THE HUMAN-ANIMAL-ENVIRONMENT INTERFA...

One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together human  animal  and environmental
health. Achieving harmonized approaches for disease detection and prevention is difficult
because traditional boundaries of medical and veterinary practice must be crossed. In the 19th
and early 20th centuries this was not the case-then researchers like Louis Pasteur and Robert
Koch and physicians like William Osler and Rudolph Virchow crossed the boundaries between
animal and human health. More recently Calvin Schwabe revised the concept of One Medicine. This
was critical for the advancement of the field of epidemiology  especially as applied to
zoonotic diseases. The future of One Health is at a crossroads with a need to more clearly
define its boundaries and demonstrate its benefits. Interestingly the greatest acceptance of
One Health is seen in the developing world where it is having significant impacts on control of
infectious diseases.
