UPLB launched its Program for Zoonotic Diseases (or zoonoses) as the world celebrated the sixth annual One Health Day on Nov. 3.
Collaboration, multi-sectoral approaches to public health, and the inseparability of human, animal, and environmental health were the dominant themes in the two-hour event held via video conference.
UP President Danilo L. Concepcion, in a written message, acknowledged past research on zoonotic diseases and their contribution to our understanding of animal and human safety today.
