One Health Mission: Zoonoses, Antibiotic Resistance, and Empirical Treatment

The growing burden of zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) highlights the need for a coordinated One Health approach that integrates animal, human, and environmental health. Veterinarians play a pivotal role in disease surveillance, infection prevention, antimicrobial stewardship, and evidence-based empirical treatment. This webinar provides a practical perspective on the prevention and control of zoonotic infections, the principles of judicious antimicrobial use, and strategies for selecting empirical therapy while minimizing the risk of antimicrobial resistance. Participants will gain actionable insights into strengthening biosecurity, improving antimicrobial stewardship, and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard both animal and public health.
