Beskrivning

One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together human, animal, and environmental health. 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.
