More than 60% of all diseases and 75% of emerging
infectious diseases are zoonotic. Over two million people die annually in low
and middle-income nations from neglected endemic zoonotic disease. There are
significant gaps in both animal health and public health infrastructure which
require improvement. As military medical providers, we must operationalize a One
Health approach to prevent the next pandemic and shift the focus of disease
control from person-to-person to the person-to-animal interface.
