One Health and neurological disorders – an interdisciplinary multi-health approach

One Health uses an interdisciplinary and at times transdisciplinary approach to look at the interconnection of human, animal and environmental health in the context of infectious and non-infectious diseases and beyond. The One Health concept is hardly ever used in the context of neurological disorders but has recently gained traction through its inclusion in the WHO Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders. This will attract attention but foremost curiosity about how the One Health concept could best be implemented for neurological disorders. We will shine some light on this intriguing approach by presenting classical One Health neurological cases such as rabies and neurocysticercosis.
