This book  contains three chapters involving HealthDEEP members or associated (these chapters were previously published in CABI One Health Cases)

The One Health Case Studies book is a collection of international case studies showcasing the work of One Health practitioners and their projects. The book explores current areas of One Health, grouped into themes of One Health policy, pests and pathogens, water and the environment, agriculture and food security, and education and community engagement.

Since the 2000s, the social sciences have increasingly invested in animal health research. This book offers a comprehensive overview of interdisciplinary studies conducted on this topic within the French-speaking research community, providing a reflective analysis and identifying key challenges that lie ahead.

Drawing on case studies from both the Global North and South, focusing on various animal infectious diseases, the authors showcase social science research that illuminates issues relevant to veterinary science. These include practices, knowledge systems, and organizational frameworks related to animal health. Additionally, the book highlights participatory research efforts co-developed with field practitioners to drive changes in practices or enhance surveillance and management systems.

The role of interdisciplinary approaches in public policy, education, and expertise is critically examined, culminating in a thoughtful assessment of the dialogue between social and veterinary sciences.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the One Health initiative has been widely endorsed by politicians and scientists alike, highlighting the interdependence between human, animal and environmental health, and bringing these disciplines together around a single approach. Putting One Health into practice now leads to reflect on the integration of other forms of health knowledge, in particular that of local communities. Drawing on his fieldwork experiences in Asia, Nicolas Lainé shows that local knowledge is dynamic and constantly in recomposition. He highlights the contribution of certain local practices to health risk prevention. Reduced to the provision of information or data, the holders of this “other” knowledge are often excluded from the knowledge production process. On the contrary, the author proposes to integrate all the richness and complexity of relationships with living beings into a networking of local human and non-human knowledge, considering all stakeholders as full partners in research. Starting with the promises and rise to power of the One Health approach, this book takes a broader look at what makes science.

It is now well established that human behavior has an impact on the environment, whether it is global warming or the destruction of biodiversity. However, these phenomena, which have tended to accelerate in recent decades, themselves cause effects on human health, as evidenced by the multiplication and worsening of the epidemics we are facing: just think of the major health crisis of Covid-19.

It is therefore important to rigorously analyze the factors of emergence of past epidemics to better prepare for the next ones, which cannot be long in coming. But it is above all important to ensure that we restore as much as possible, and before it is too late, the balance of ecosystems which alone can ultimately guarantee the perpetuation of our species.

This book provides a synthetic overview of diseases that can be transmitted between humans and animals, called zoonoses. After clearly defining what these diseases are, how they are transmitted and presenting the major zoonoses, the authors explain the different ways to protect ourselves from them and explain the reasons for their emergence and evolution.

This book invites us to better understand the animal and microbial world that surrounds us. It allows us to understand these diseases in order to better protect ourselves from them and, beyond that, to reconsider the links we have with animals and the entire living world in order to fully reintegrate it.

This open book — coordinated by Serge Morand and Muriel Figuié, and prefaced by Frédéric Keck — includes contributions from Claude Gilbert and Nathalie Brender, François Roger and Patrick Zylberman. 

In five chapters, these experts from different scientific fields analyse the ecological, social, institutional and political dynamics associated with emerging infectious diseases. This book discusses how the concepts, scientific results and action plans of international or governmental organizations are constructed and coordinated.

This book provides theoretical overviews and challenges for applied research in living resource management, conservation ecology, health ecology and conservation planning in Southeast Asia. Five key themes are addressed: origin and evolution of Southeast Asian biodiversity; challenges in conservation biology; ecosystem services and biodiversity; managing biodiversity and living resources; policy, economics and governance of biodiversity. Detailed case studies are included from Thailand and the Lower Mekong Basin, while other chapters address cross-cutting themes applicable to the whole Southeast Asia region.

Global change is accelerated by problems of growing population, industrialization and geopolitics, and the world’s biodiversity is suffering as a result, which impacts both humans and animals. However, Biodiversity and Health offers the unique opportunity to demonstrate how ecological, environmental, medical and social sciences can contribute to the improvement of human health and wellbeing through the conservation of biodiversity and the services it brings to societies.

This book gives an expansive and integrated overview of the scientific disciplines that contribute to the connection between health and biodiversity, from the evolutionary ecology of infectious and non-infectious diseases to ethics, law and politics.
