Abstract

Will the COVID-19 crisis trigger a One Health coming-of-age?

Highlights

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues across the globe, leaving governments and public health services in shock and disarray, calls have been made for the need to adopt One Health approaches to address the failure to predict and halt the emergence of COVID-19.1 The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is widely suggested to have originated in Asia from a bat reservoir, possibly involving other animal bridge species
One Health is embedded within the concept of EcoHealth, which further extends the scope to complex human–environment systems.[5]
Use of the term resilience in an environmental health systems context should be accompanied by a clear specification of whether or not its intended meaning is consistent with the social–ecological systems frame work
