Resumen de De geschiedenis van "One health"
The idea that one health one medicine one world is a 21st century hype coming from the USA and now overwhelming Europe is at least disputable. Early sources of comparative anatomy and pathology are of Greek origin (500 B.C.). Throughout ancient history and 15 centuries of Christian European culture, experiments and dissections on animals and man were done by the same people. Where the Church emphasized the differences between man and the rest of the animal world, after the Renaissance scientists began to look for similarities. Both medical and veterinary scientists worked together up to the 20th century in fields of comparative pathology and microbiology. Establishing Schools of Public Health and the National Public Health institutes during the past century in both the Americas and Europe involved both medical and veterinary professionals almost from the beginning. This has remained unchanged right up to the present day. This is in contrast with curative medicine and veterinary medicine, where differentiation and specialization have led to divergence from other disciplines. Since preventive medicine and public health are receiving more attention today, it seems logical to merge and to promote one health to become the new paradigm of the 21st century
