Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that global health is interconnected with the whole of the ecosystem we live in. Moreover, there is the silent pandemic, already ongoing for decades, on antimicrobial resistance that requires new solutions. Emerging pandemics with new pathogens may arise, and the prediction of this is still difficult. A loss of biodiversity may play an important role in the emergence of new pathogens. Zoonotic bacterial pathogens keep spreading, though mitigation is ongoing. Parasites are frequently the forgotten pathogens.
Both the environment, plants, animals (both wildlife and livestock), and humans are interconnected in a biological way. Next to that, the Quadripartite Organizations (FAO, UNEP, WHO, and WOAH) have launched a new initiative with their publication “ONE HEALTH JOINT PLAN OF ACTION (2022–2026)”, advocating for the inclusion of society and social sciences in the approach. Holistic and sustainable solutions are also warranted.
In this Special Issue, we invite all actors in the field of One Health, including, but not restricted, medical corps, veterinary corps, plant scientists, environmental scientists, as well as sociologists. Adhering to the holistic approach, we also invite scientists with new ideas in the approach of One Heath.
We invite researchers to submit research manuscripts, reviews, and (superficially for this Special Issue) opinions related to all the fields of One Health.
