Difference between revisions of "Category:One Health"

The pages contained within the One Health category all focus on diseases that affect both humans and animals and the interconnections between species. These diseases require a multi-system approach from both the veterinary and medical perspective and have far reaching implications due to effects on the environment, productivity, economics and conservation efforts. Many of the diseases are of great importance within developing countries due to a lack of resources, high population densities, farming practices and cultural influences amongst others.

These pages form part of a wider project aiming to develop a One Health app for use on mobile phones to enable access to information within remote areas of Africa in order to educate the local communities, increase awareness of diseases, improve farming practices and hence reduce the impact of zoonotic diseases within the developing world.
