DESCRIPTION:One Health or One Medicine encompasses the study of disease an
 d medicine across the spectrum of species. Tragically outbreaks of such as
  the current Ebola epidemic in West Africa reminds us that more than 70% o
 f human infectious diseases have their origins in the animal kingdom. Usin
 g historical examples of human and animal plagues we will revisit the comm
 on origins of human and veterinary medicine\, then consider how today's ge
 nomic revolution has opened the species barriers to research. Genomic tech
 nologies now permit understanding the genesis and treatment of disease at 
 the molecular level in almost any species and tracking of infectious disea
 ses around the globe.
