One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together
human, animal, and environmental health. Achieving harmonized
approaches for disease detection and prevention is difficult
because traditional boundaries of medical and veterinary practice
must be crossed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries this was not
the case-then researchers like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch and
physicians like William Osler and Rudolph Virchow crossed the
boundaries between animal and human health. More recently Calvin
Schwabe revised the concept of One Medicine. This was critical for
the advancement of the field of epidemiology, especially as applied
to zoonotic diseases. The future of One Health is at a crossroads
with a need to more clearly define its boundaries and demonstrate
its benefits. Interestingly the greatest acceptance of One Health
is seen in the developing world where it is having significant
impacts on control of infectious diseases.
