One Health approach in preventing spilling over of emerging infectious diseases at the human-animal-ecosystem interface.

To be successful, One Health needs to be about more than disease prevention and control. The dynamic, unpredictable effects and risks to peoples’ lives of EIDs necessitate a public health and biosecurity infrastructure equipped to address the ethical problems that arise. EID management must therefore be based on normative principles as well as local knowledge, operational experience and disease-specific scientific and economic evidence.
