Course Description

Worldwide, increasing, and significant public health challenges result from complex and inextricable interactions between humans, animals, and the environment, necessitating a One Health systems approach to addressing these challenges. This interdisciplinary course will introduce the concept of One Health as an increasingly important approach to a holistic understanding of the interrelationships between human, animal, and environmental health. Among the topics covered are bi-directional impacts of human and animal health (with particular emphasis on zoonotic diseases), the impact of earth’s changing ecology on health of populations, anthropogenic drivers of emerging and re-emerging viruses in human populations, issues of food and water security, animals as sentinels of environmental hazards, emergency preparedness, and the benefits of comparative medicine among animals and humans.
