AB  - The  world  has  become  more  complex.  The  convergence  of  people,  animals,  and  the  environment  has  created  a  new  dynamic  characterized  by  a  profound  and  unprecedented  interdependence  in  which  the  health  of  all  three  domains  is  inextricably  linked.  This  is  significant  for  public  health  and,  especially,  for  infectious  diseases.  Over  the  last  three  decades,  approximately  75%  of  new  emerging  human  diseases  have  been  zoonotic  (diseases  that  are  transmitted  from  or  through  animals  to  humans).1  The  human-animal  interface  is  expanding,  accelerating,  and  becoming  more  consequential.  At  the  same  time,  we  have  permanently  altered  a  significant  portion  of  our  ecosystems  and  have  created  a  new  ecological  milieu  that  is  changing  the  conditions  of  our  human-animal  interface,  the  conditions  for  microbial  adaptation  and  the  emergence  and  re-emergence  of  infectious  diseases  worldwide.  Our  challenge  is  to  create  and  implement  a  transformational  model  based  on  a  holistic  and  integrated  approach  that  addresses  our  health  threats  with  a  new  emphasis  on  prevention,  and  addresses  problems  closer  to  their  origin,  often  within  the  animal  and  environmental  domains.  This  approach  is  the  essence  of  the  One  Health  concept.
