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.
