Abstract
Rudolf Virchow, considered by many the Father of Pathology, established a clear link between human and animal health. From that idea emerged the one medicine concept, which evolved into one health concept many years later. Nevertheless, only recently has there been a renewed interest in the subject, and this for three main reasons: i) The recognition that an extraordinary high percentage of infectious diseases in human were zoonosis; ii) The advances in the knowledge of the genome in man and animals; iii) The huge and rapid scientific progress achieved in recent years in the medical field.
Highlights
Most experts in health are strongly convinced of the close relationship between human and veterinary medicine, and that benefits arisen from such connection may result very noticeable when analysed in the right context [1,2,3]
An easy way to understand the meaning of the malformations in veterinary science consists in analysing some basic, general and essential concepts of the life cycle [40], which could be represented by the typical Gaussian curve, projected onto a Cartesian coordinate system (Supplementary data 1.1)
There is a lot of information addressing these matters, published by different institutions, international organisms (WHO, OIE, FAO, American Medical Association (AMA), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)), but within the published data, malformations or developmental anomalies are neither included nor mentioned
Summary
Most experts in health are strongly convinced of the close relationship between human and veterinary medicine, and that benefits arisen from such connection may result very noticeable when analysed in the right context [1,2,3].
