- Abstract
Human and animal health are intertwined and linked to ecosystems. The vast majority of emerging diseases have an animal origin, where a microorganism comes into contact with man through one or more animal species by sharing or modifying a given ecosystem. The way of life globalized by international transport can also cause an outbreak of disease to become an epidemic or a pandemic, as has been the case of COVID-19. The transversal approach provided by the One Health philosophy of the World Health Organization (WHO) is vital to face the biological threats that lie in wait for society. The role of the Military Veterinary in the prevention and control of epidemic outbreaks within multidisciplinary military health teams provides a broad and experienced vision to face the challenges that arise in those epidemiological situations where the national security environment may be compromised.
