| Abstract | ||
| one medicine is not a new idea. In the 19th century, Robert Virchow, the German physician and pathologist, stated, “Between animal and human medicine there is no dividing line, nor should there be. The interdependence of humans, animals, and their environment has never been more important than now. The most prominent issues putting pressure on global health today include the dramatic emergence and spread of zoonotic diseases, contamination of food, water and soil, bioterrorist events, and degradation of resources and habitats. Current global health challenges have prompted a call for holistic, collaborative, action-oriented approaches toward the goal of logical and practical solutions. Veterinarians have pivotal obligations, opportunities and contributions to make in enhancing public health recognizing and responding to zoonotic diseases transmission, maintaining food and water quality and promoting wildlife and ecosystem health. | ||
