Serving clinicians, animal workers, pet owners and others at the human-animal interface
The growing recognition of the links between human health, animal health and the environment requires new tools to address disease issues and educate health care providers, animal workers and others to help create a healthy coexistence between humans and animals in sustainable local and global ecosystems.
