Young people don’t know enough about the risk from pathogens that can be transmitted from animals to humans, researchers have found.
The school-based scientific study in Italy, Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Mauritius and Japan shows that young people know too little about reciprocal disease transmission from animals to humans, known as zoonoses, and the integrative management of health risks the One Health concept.
One Health is an approach that recognises that human health is closely linked to the health of animals and our shared environment.
Study investigates the level of knowledge of young people and adolescents on zoonotic diseases
The EU-funded BIO-CRIME project - with support from the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (Leibniz-IZW) - conducted a scientific investigation on the topic of illegal small animal trade and the associated risk of pathogen transmission.
The study focused on the key areas of illegal small animal trade and the level of knowledge and proper behaviours of young people and adolescents with zoonotic diseases and the One Health concept . One Health is an approach that recognises that human health is closely linked to the health of animals and our shared environment.
