About the Book
Animal health issues and their implications for human health and livelihoods must be addressed by regional agricultural or natural resources management strategies if they are to succeed. As socio-economic progress demands sustained improvements in health for humans, the proceedings hope to have been successful in drawing attention to the need to move towards a "one-health" perspective - the foundation of the discussions.
