Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The One Health concept focuses on the interaction between the health of humans, animals, and the environment. This concept is not novel, but it has received renewed attention. Both the U.S. Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization have online resources for One Health. Relatively recent fundamental shifts in our world have occurred or have begun to occur, such as climate change, globalization, and increasing environmental pollution due to an increasing global population. These changes have profound effects on human health and that of animals and the environment. How an alteration in humans, animals, or the environment causes a change in another is the focus of One Health and the topic of this Special Issue of Toxics.
We seek to publish original research papers, review articles, and short communications involving the One Health Triad. Studies utilizing epidemiological or experimental approaches on a local, national, or global scale are encouraged. Utilization of clinically relevant doses and routes of exposure to environmental pollutants is also encouraged in experimental studies. Most studies that utilize an experimental animal model of exposure to an environmental pollutant with known adverse health effects on humans incorporate all three aspects of the One Health Triad. However, in this Special Issue we will focus on examining how changes in one aspect of the One Health Triad affect the entire One Health Triad.
