One Health Webinar on aspects of human companion-animal bond

Companion animals – our family pets such as cats and dogs – are associated with significant health and welfare benefits for humans. But this close bond can also present risks related to zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

As an Una Europa member Edinburgh staff and students are eligibly to take part in this webinar organised in partnership with MSD Animal Health.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn from leading experts about the benefits and risks of cohabiting with companion animals, as well as strategies to maximize the benefits while mitigating potential risks.

Talks will be delivered in English and translated simultaneously into Italian and Spanish.
