One Health Chapter—A First—Included in Prominent Public Health Textbook  Jekel’s Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Preventive Medicine, and Public Health, 4th Edition ...Chapter 30—One Health: Interdependence of People, Other Species, and the Planet... Barrett, M. A. and S. A. Osofsky. 2013. “One Health: Interdependence of People, Other Species, and the Planet,” pp. 364-377 (and online supplement pp. 407(e1)-416(e10) at studentconsult.com), in Katz, D. L., Elmore, J. G., Wild, D. M. G., and S. C. Lucan (eds.) Jekel’s Epidemiology, Biostatistics, Preventive Medicine, and Public Health (4th ed.). Elsevier / Saunders, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.        “This book chapter was written specifically to try to catch medical students early-on in their careers, to encourage them to think more holistically about the profession they are embarking upon. While many of the topics described will certainly not be new to those well-versed in One Health, the editors of Jekels Epidemiology... and Public Health asked us to provide this material so that one of the most widely used epidemiology texts in North American medical schools will, for the first time, offer a One Health perspective. We hope that over time it has the desired effect, that a broader constituency can continue to be built.”      *Meredith A. Barrett, PhD and Steven A.
