A SCIENCE-BASED COMMUNITY PREZODE is an initiative aiming to advance research, advocacy, and collaboration to prevent zoonosis, bringing together an international community.
THE ONE HEALTH APPROACH PREZODE bases its framework on the One Health perspective, an integrated, unifying approach that recognizes the interdependence of human, animal, and ecosystem health.
AN INITIATIVE TO ENSURE PREVENTION PREZODE efforts focus on preventing risk emergence at the source by co-designing risk reduction and early detection solutions with and for the local communities and actors.
