One Health Sweden

Most human infections are caused by microorganisms that originates from animals. However, historically science has ben divided into different disciplines depending upon if the agent is found in humans, domestic animals or wild life. One Health Sweden is a network for researchers, working by stimulating interdisciplinary research and increasing knowledge about One Health.
