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.

FOCUS ON RAKUNO GAKUEN UNIVERSITY

Hokkaidō, the northernmost of Japan's main islands, is celebrated for its exceptional natural environment. It hosts Rakuno Gakuen University, which became a member of PREZODE in 2025 and gathers the Faculty of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences alongside the School of Veterinary Medicine.
