Abstract:
With the advent of a One World-One Health concept, veterinarians will play a central role, at the level of trading zones (such as the European Union), countries, food production farms, and individual animals. They will be mandated to produce, interpret, communicate, and apply scientific information in the best possible way to make informed decisions and take adequate actions. The principles of evidence-based medicine will help the accomplishment of this mission. However, for the moment, we may still have the impression of two separate worlds, the academic research on one side and the reality of practice on the other side, and there is a need to join them.
