Celebrating One Health Day 2019 with a focus on ILRI’s One Health research
One Health Day is a global campaign marked annually on 3 November to bring attention to the need for a One Health approach to address the shared health threats at the human–animal–environment interface.
The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) carries out One Health research through its Animal and Human Health program which seeks to effectively manage or eliminate livestock, zoonotic and food-borne diseases through the generation and use of knowledge, technologies and products.
We commemorate this year’s One Health Day by featuring a selection of the program’s recent research outputs on this important topic.
