Combating and controlling zoonotic infections effectively, requires an approach where researchers use the “One World – One Health” perspective. The purpose of the IEE network is to stimulate interdisciplinary projects resulting in increased knowledge of emergence, spread and effects of infectious disease on human, domestic animals and wildlife. We build a sustainable platform where veterinarians, physicians, molecular biologists, ecologists and environmental chemists with an interest in zoonotic infections can interact and create synergies.
