This website provides a comprehensive review of available One Health advocacy materials and information resources for decision makers and others interested in One Health and disease control. The focus is on zoonotic diseases – those which are passed from animals to people. The materials cover eight neglected zoonoses that can be found in many parts of rural, peri-urban and urban Africa. Three different village settings in Africa are used to illustrate how people, their own health and that of their animals may be inter-connected and thus impact on One Health issues. Click on each village to browse for information, which can also be viewed as an APP or downloaded as PDFs. To enable regular updates visitors are encouraged to contribute comments and new information using the link below.
