"One Health" is the integrated three-part paradigm for infectious diseases that "spillover" from animals to humans and can cause epidemics: (1) human health, (2) animal health, and (3) ecohealth.

The Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) was launched in 2014 by the United States government (White House, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of State, USDA, and others), the WHO D-G Dr. Margaret Chan and 28 nations, World Animal Health organizations OIE/FAO, and others to address global infectious disease threats, e.g., MERS, Ebola, pandemic influenza.

This symposium will explore the relationship between One Health and the GHSA. Click here for the agenda and recordings.
