Virtual Issue: One Health
The health of humans is inextricably linked to the health of other living creatures and to the health of the environment. This is perhaps best illustrated by infectious disease microorganisms, many of which 'evolve' in animals and/or the environment and at various times during evolution find a niche in humans. In recognition of the significance of the One Health concept, the two journals of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) that publish on the health of humans and that of their environment, Pathogens and Disease and FEMS Microbiology Ecology, are teaming up to organize a joint virtual issue on the theme of One Health.
