Zoonotic spillover, livestock and wildlife health, antimicrobial resistance
One Health, zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance covers the links between the health of people, animals, plants and the environment: zoonotic spillover, wildlife and livestock health, antimicrobial resistance, foodborne zoonoses, land-use change and disease emergence, and integrated surveillance across sectors.
Courses in development extend the scope to one further subject: Antimicrobial resistance across sectors.
Search any place or open the world; the layers and generators follow one Health, zoonoses and antimicrobial resistance on the planet map, the globe and in 3D.

Layers and dates
For veterinary and public health officers, environmental scientists and policy analysts who must work across sectors on spillover, antimicrobial resistance and integrated surveillance.
Each method is listed with what it assumes and where it fails.
Bodies and standards are named so learners can find and apply their published work; the Academy teaches their use and links to the publisher, and no affiliation is implied.
Antimicrobial consumption, measured in defined daily doses per 1,000 inhabitants per day, selects for resistance; the share of isolates resistant rises with it, and each resistant bloodstream infection carries an excess risk of death, so a stewardship target in doses is also a target in lives.
