School's health prevention

Bio-Crime project organised a series of School's health prevention activities for more than 700 children in 6 countries. Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Germany, Mauritius and Japan school's have been involved.

Results of the School's One Health Survey 2018-2019 will be available soon.

WHY

Zoonoses: diseases that are transmitted from animals to humans are defined as zoonoses. The spread of these diseases in the human population is often linked to human activity, and the illegal trade of pet animals is an important route of transmission of zoonoses. Families with children are often the final buyers of pets coming from the illegal market. The risk of zoonotic transmission is real, but prevention strategies will reduce the potential for transmission.
