Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Historically, research on zoonotic diseases, which spread between animals and humans, has been fragmented across different disciplines and regions.
  • This fragmentation hinders effective surveillance, prevention, and control strategies for emerging infectious disease threats.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the establishment and objectives of Med-Vet-Net, a novel virtual institute.
  • To highlight the importance of integrating human and veterinary medical research for addressing zoonotic diseases.

Main Methods:

  • The abstract discusses the conceptualization and formation of Med-Vet-Net.
  • It emphasizes the collaborative approach between human and veterinary medical researchers.

Main Results:

  • Med-Vet-Net aims to create a unified network for zoonotic disease research within the European Union.
  • The virtual institute facilitates the integration of activities among researchers.

Conclusions:

  • The formation of Med-Vet-Net represents a significant step towards a more cohesive and effective approach to zoonotic disease research.
  • Integrated research efforts are crucial for enhancing the EU's capacity to manage animal and human health risks.
