In 2022, CABI will launch a new set of transdisciplinary One Health resources. Stressing the interconnections between humans, animals, plants, ecosystems and their shared environment, the collection consists of CABI One Health – an Open Access journal, One Health Cases – a curated collection of real-life examples of One Health in practice, and the One Health Knowledge Bank, a hub of relevant knowledge, information and data.
Article and case submissions are due to open in early 2022, with the first content to publish later in the year. Editor-in-Chief of CABI’s One Health resources, Professor Jakob Zinsstag, and Deputy Editor, Dr Lisa Crump – both of the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute – are now recruiting a global editorial board for this integrated collection of resources.
The label of ‘One Health’ is increasingly used by researchers and policy makers around the world, although a lot of confusion about its meaning remains. CABI defines One Health as ‘any added value in terms of human, animal and environmental health, sustainability, financial savings, and social resilience, achievable by the cooperation of human and veterinary medicine, and the social and environmental sciences when compared to the disciplines working independently.
All of the CABI resources will foster transdisciplinary approaches that consider academic and non-academic, practical, local and indigenous knowledge in the research process and encompass exchange and cooperation among the scientific disciplines as well as between science and society.
Those interested in responding to the open call for board members of the One Health resources are invited to contact Lisa Crump, Deputy Editor on the One Health resources, at CABIOneHealth@cabi.org for more information.
