One Health/Animal health

EPI Environmental Health Objective

Learning Tasks edit

  • (Animal Health - Public Health) Explain how animal health is related to human health / public health[1][2]? Enumerate a few links that you see. Exchange your own examples in the group and identify similarities and differences between your own examples and the examples found by other students.
  • (Animal Health - Environmental Health) Explain the link between animal health and environmental health. How does environmental health has an impact on animal health (provide examples) and how does animal health has an impact on environmental health (e.g. induced by overcrowded habitat of animals)?
  • (Correlation between Animal/Public/Environmental Health and Collaborative Mapping) Identify collaborative mapping strategies to measure correlation between Animal, Public, Environmental Health. What are the challenges, requirements and constraints for the design of data acquisition and/or data analysis. Compare local indicators collected with a collaborative mapping approach with an Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and its relevance for animal health.
  • (Animal Health and Food Safety) Explain how animal health and food safety is linked. Provide examples and appropriate risk mitigation strategies
  • (Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine) Explore the link between epidemiology and One Health and discuss preventive activities and measure to protect and prevent[3] outbreaks e.g. in the context of international trade and travelling (transport of agricultural products, plants and animals.
