This document discusses the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It notes that zoonotic diseases pose a large disease burden, especially in developing countries, and factors like human encroachment on wildlife habitats, intensive farming, and increased travel and trade have contributed to the emergence and spread of diseases. The One Health approach aims to promote cross-sectoral collaboration between medical, veterinary, and environmental professionals to achieve optimal health outcomes. Key organizations promoting One Health include WHO, FAO, OIE, and CDC. While India has started some One Health initiatives, more coordination is still needed between its medical and veterinary colleges to address zoonotic threats.

Sciences, New Delhi, India, 21 November 2019
Better lives through livestock…………
2. INTRODUCTION
o Human beings, Animals and Plants are
co-existing in the same environment,
o They cannot exist in isolation and
o All are part of a larger communities
Human Health
Animal Health
Environmental Health
Plant Health
3. Impact of animal diseases on human health
Global of Food Animals production is reduced by more than 20% due to
diseases
Even animal diseases not transmissible to human may lead to serious public
health problems due to shortage and deficiencies of Animal Source Food
4. Greatest Burden of Zoonoses falls on One Billion Poor Livestock Keepers (ILRI)
o 2.3 billion cases of human illness with 1.7 million human deaths per year
o More than one in seventh of all livestock per year are infected in poor
countries

Economic Impact of zoonoses
7. Why now... (Factors) As a result…(Impact)
Human populations are growing and
expanding into new geographic
areas
As a result, more people live in close
contact with wild and domestic animals.
Close contact provides more
opportunities for diseases to pass
between animals and people
The earth has experienced changes
in climate and land use, such as
deforestation and intensive farming
practices
Disruptions in environmental conditions
and habitats provide new opportunities
for diseases to pass to animals
International travel and trade have
increased
As a result, diseases can spread quickly
across the globe
Factors that affect Human and Animal Health
Why one health?
8. Definition
One Health is defined as a collaborative, multisectoral, and
transdisciplinary approach — working at the local, regional,
national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal
health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people,
animals, plants, and their shared environment.
OneHealthisthe collaborative effort of multiple health science
professions,togetherwith their relateddisciplinesandinstitutions –
workinglocally,nationally,andglobally–to attain optimal health for
people,domesticanimals,wildlife, plants,andourenvironment.’
(OneHealthCommission,2011)
One Health concept was officially adopted in 1984
It is a concept to bring together human, animal, and
environmental health.
