One Health as an encompassing concept and collaborative framework recognizes the interconnections among humans, wildlife, and our shared environment with the goal of optimizing health outcomes for all. The Exposome is more specifically oriented to human health and considers cumulative environmental exposures affecting individuals, communities, and populations. This book will provide the broadened and integrative view that considers a more holistic approach needed to confront the complex issues facing us today.
One Health Meets the Exposome: Human, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health
is a valuable and cutting-edge resource for researchers and practitioners in medicine, public health, animal science, wildlife and field biology, and for any reader looking to better understand the relationships among human health and the environment.- Examines One Health historical focus on disease transfer from wildlife to humans
- Analyzes the transition of the One Health concept to a current multi- and trans-disciplinary framework with global programs aimed at optimizing human, and wildlife health
- Defines the Exposome and current approaches to conceptualize environmental impacts on human health
- Bridges the concepts of One Health and the Exposome by comparing, contrasting, and visualizing synergistic and integrative conceptual frameworks
