International One Health Congress to discuss infectious disease threats

Thursday, 10 February, 2011

More than 600 of the world’s leading experts in human, animal and environmental health will discuss ways to tackle the increasing threat of new infectious disease outbreaks at the 1st International One Health Congress in Melbourne.

Hosted by CSIRO, the three-day congress will focus on the disease risks and challenges posed by interactions between animals, humans and the environment.

It will also recommend policy and organisational changes designed to reduce the risk of national and global outbreaks of diseases like bird flu.

The ‘One Health’ concept is the basis of a new global strategy for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations and communications in all aspects of health care.
