Therefore, One Health practitioners must fully grasp the why, where, what,
when, who, and how of these interconnections.
The rapid emergence, global spread, morbidity, and mortality associated with
emerging infections such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and other
pandemic is stimulating the global community to develop novel approaches
for their prevention and control.
These need to take into account the complexity of infection from multiple
dimensions
Why one health
19
Multiple dimensions
Burden of illness: infectious and parasitic diseases are the second leading cause
of death in the world
Zoonotic and environmental origins: More than 60 % of new emerging and
reemerging pathogens are zoonotic
Antimicrobial resistance: The severity of infections and our success in treating
the associated clinical diseases are affected by the presence of AMR

Cancer

History of One Health
Many diseases (i.e. Ebola, Zika, Chikungunya, SARS, Nipah, etc.) are
emerging and spreading because of widespread deforestation, environmental
degradation, and bush meat consumption—linked to food security.
