One Health Public Policy Forum Series Fall 2019 – November 6th
Urban Meets Rural, Balancing Human and Environmental Health

As residential areas are extended to meet housing and economic development needs, there is more frequent interaction between people, the natural environment, and non-domestic animals. For example, roaming deer as well as garbage invaders like raccoons, once an anomaly when sighted in suburban communities, are common occurrences. Consequential to increased animal- human interaction is an uptick in discussion of related diseases, such as Lyme disease, Rabies, and more recently, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (Three E). Wildlife management strategies and options for keeping both humans and animals healthy as they continue to interact will inform the audience.
