Routledge One Health: Science, Politics and Zoonotic Disease

Zoonotic diseases represent a significant challenge for global health institutions. Because these pathogens move from animals to humans, they involve complex social and ecological dynamics that require modern solutions. As global connectivity increases and environmental changes occur, new risks emerge that demand updated approaches to public health. One Health: Science, politics and zoonotic disease in Africa explores the necessity of cross-sector and multi-disciplinary collaboration to manage these threats. While the One Health concept is widely recognized, this book fills a gap in current research by examining how specific social, political, and economic contexts impact the practical application of these strategies in Africa. This text provides a deep look at the factors that influence how One Health is implemented on the ground. It is an essential resource for those studying economic policy, development, and global health management within the Pathways to Sustainability series.
