Examining Atopic Dermatitis through the One Health concept

­Spring Live Global Virtual Symposium via Zoom
Wednesday April 17th 2024

Our new event will cover a rather novel field: One Health, a concept at the crossroad of human, animal, and environmental health.

This concept is instrumental in the field of infectious diseases, especially to limit the dissemination of existing diseases and to prevent emerging pandemics. Changes in temperature and precipitation alter the distribution and behavior of disease vectors, leading to the spread of malaria, dengue fever and viral infections such as Zika. Food and water insecurity linked to climate change leads to malnutrition, food, and water-borne diseases, such as cholera and diarrhea.

For allergic diseases, there is some indication that the concept is applicable, e.g. the increase in carbon dioxide levels stimulates the growth of allergenic plants, which exacerbates allergies and asthma.
