One Health study designs.

A One Health study implies that data on human and animal health, possibly also on ecological indicators, are analysed in an integrated way and are interpreted together. This chapter focuses on population-based quantitative One Health study designs with emphasis on planning of field surveys. The focus is not on early detection of emerging diseases but rather on endemic zoonoses. It first provides examples on joint surveys and surveillance, then on practical information on planning of a field study design, and concludes on the advantages of One Health study designs. Also discussed are possible constraints for their implementation given that there are only a few One Health studies to date. For the examples, the main epidemiological considerations and the results that could not be achieved with single sector approaches are highlighted.
