Epidemiology and Health Services: Journal of the SUS (RESS) hereby announces this Call for Papers on studies, research, and experiences related to the One Health approach, covering the following topics:

  • Strengthening institutional capacities for the implementation of the One Health approach.
  • Reducing the risks of epidemics and pandemics caused by emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases related to the interface between human, animal, plant, and environmental health.
  • Prevention, control, and elimination of zoonotic and vector-borne endemic diseases, neglected tropical diseases, and animal-related health hazards.
  • Strengthening the assessment, management, and communication of food safety risks.
  • Addressing the emergence of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective

The purpose of this call is to encourage scientific research and the dissemination of experiences related to the application of the One Health approach by states and municipalities.

One Health is an integrated and unifying approach that recognizes the interdependence between human, animal, plant, and environmental health, including ecosystems. Its purpose is to promote, in a collective and sustainable manner, the balance and optimization of the health of these components.

By disseminating these publications, it is expected that the experiences presented will include actions characterized by multisectorality and transdisciplinarity, demonstrating how this approach can be applied collaboratively across different sectors, contributing to the well-being of populations in these regions.
