Zoonoses are infectious diseases that are transmitted between animals and humans. In most cases, such diseases are only treated in humans. However, because these diseases are transmitted between animals, humans are infected again and again. If we want to eradicate such diseases, we have to interrupt the transmission in animals.
In this lecture, we will present integrated approaches for the causal control of zoonoses that also lead to their elimination.
In many middle- and low-income countries, we are asked about the costs of elimination. Using mathematical models and cross-sector economic analyses, we can show the conditions under which successful control is possible. This requires close cooperation between doctors, veterinarians, social scientists, mathematicians and economists.
This collaboration is called "One Health".
