This scientific Conference is organised in the framework of the MediLabSecure* (http://www.medilabsecure.com/) initiative and aims at strengthening One Health implementation for the prevention and control of arbovirus infections in the Mediterranean and Sahel Regions through the coordination and collaboration between human and veterinarian public health officers. The Conference is organised by the Italian National Institute for Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) with the support of IZSAM - Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell’Abruzzo e del Molise “G. Caporale”.

The conference wants to be an opportunity for an interdisciplinar exchange of views among different stakeholders representatives of both public institutions and the productive sector, on how the one health approach is considered in the context of its activities.
The public institutions represented are many, including all those responsible for human, animal and environmental health. The representatives of industry and agriculture will bring a vision of the actions carried out on the territory.

On the occasion of One Health Day, the One Health Center project will be presented in Olbia: a building born from the partnership between the Industrial Consortium of North-East Sardinia (CIPNES), the University of Sassari (UNISS), the Gallura Social-Health Company (ASL Gallura ) and the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Sardinia (IZSS).
