The aim of this website is to instigate discussion between researchers and decision makers from the medical and veterinary professions on “One Health” issues. Visit our review page to learn about the proposed themes of discussions and submit your own views on the subjects. Short literature reviews (1 or 2 pages) on any issue related to the “One Health” concept are welcome for publication on the web site after peer-review.
