We are celebrating One Health Day with a series of speakers, all focused on national and global issues that utilize a One Health approach. On Monday through Wednesday (October 31st – November 2nd), we are hosting one hour-long lunchtime discussions. Each discussion will focus on the collaborative and multidisciplinary One Health approach to a particular heath problem. On Thursday (November 3rd), we are hosting a panel. In this panel, the panelists and audience members will engage each other in a discussion on the One Health approach towards parasitic diseases.

The theme of this year’s UC Davis One Health symposium is Collaboration in the Face of a Changing Environment. Discussion topics will range from Zika virus and the distribution of mosquitos and other vectors, to respiratory disease caused by environmental particulates, to disaster preparedness and response. The Deans of the UC Davis Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine will give the day’s capstone address. We will follow the program with a networking reception.
