Virology, Emerging Diseases & Vaccines

One Health Approaches to Virology

Embark on an interdisciplinary journey into the realm of One Health approaches to virology in this pivotal track. Explore the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health, unveiling the complex dynamics of viral transmission, emergence, and spill over between species. Delve into the principles of zoonotic diseases and cross-species transmission, shedding light on the origins of viral pathogens and their potential to cause global pandemics. Investigate the role of wildlife reservoirs, domestic animals, and agricultural practices in shaping viral ecology and evolution, highlighting the need for collaborative efforts to mitigate zoonotic risks. Explore the interface between human health, animal health, and environmental conservation, fostering synergistic strategies for disease surveillance, prevention, and control.

Join us as we discuss the challenges and opportunities of One Health approaches in addressing emerging viral threats, from Ebola and Zika to COVID-19. Whether you're a veterinarian, epidemiologist, environmental scientist, or public health practitioner, this track offers a platform to explore the interconnected nature of health and the vital role of collaboration in protecting the well-being of people, animals, and ecosystems worldwide.
