Below you will find studies and exchange of best practices on ongoing programs or actions being taken to identify the most important needs in dealing with zoonoses interventions and to promote them among the lectures and students in veterinary study/practice. This section intends to propose targeted actions that contribute to reducing the risk of infectious diseases transmitted from non-human animals to humans and to provide examples of new tools for diagnosis, prevention and therapy.
