Zoonotic diseases don’t respect borders or sectors. So our response must unite all stakeholders. Tomorrow is #WorldZoonosesDay. Let’s use it as an opportunity to embrace One Health and collaborate across veterinary medicine, public health, industry, and governments to prevent infections at their source Because animal health IS public health.
