NEW One Health Network website (Belgium)  www.onehealthnet.be

“Why?

Because...

Human welfare and health relies much on animal health…
Animals and human beings share a great number of pathogens…
Human and veterinary medicine use the same molecules and face similar drug resistance problems…
Animal health and epidemiology help understand better public health and epidemiology…
The world has become a global village... 

The objective of this "One Health" network is to strengthen the link between the medical and the veterinary sectors for improved impact assessment, surveillance and control of neglected or emerging zoonoses in developing countries…

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 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.”
