The implications of these findings in the broader context of agenda-building across the life and environmental sciences of the early 21st century are then discussed. As demonstrated in Ariane Dröscher’s (2012) study of the usage of “stem cell” in twentieth-century biology, following terminology can be an effective approach to tracing the spread of ideas and agendas: not only is it indicative of key issues of concern, but it can also tell us about the strategic agendas, origins, and broader meanings bound up with those issues.

While the vast majority of publications discussing OH come from biomedical and health oriented authors, there is a small but rapidly developing social science and humanities literature on the topic. com doesn’t have any material hosted on the server of this page, only links to books that are taken from other sites on the web are published and these links are unrelated to the book server.is a five-year collaborative project funded by Wellcome Trust (Principal Investigator Abigail Woods, grant 092719), involving a science and technology studies scholar working with historians of veterinary medicine, human medicine, and biology.

The origin of the One Medicine concept has been linked to the 19th century German physician and pathologist, Rudolf Virchow, whose discoveries on Trichinella spiralis in pork led to valuable public health measures ( 1). They are achieving their purpose through “education of international multidisciplinary scientific communities, political and governmental leaders, the general public, and news media about the One Health concept and helping to promote the One Health concept’s expeditious implementation worldwide.The ideas and terminology of OH have increasingly been used to facilitate interdepartmental cooperation in policy making and government ( CDC 2013; Department of Health 2013; Leung et al. During the fifties and sixties, medical and veterinary faculty at Penn collaborated closely and were involved in comparative medicine and VPH: today the veterinary school is a key advocate for OH ( Hendricks et al. This is reflected in varying references to OH as a “concept,” as illustrated earlier, but also as an “approach,” a “movement,” and even a “paradigm.
