One-Health

The One Health concept describes the relationship between human health, animal health and the environment, and recognizes how the interplay in this triad have led to the emergence and re-emergence of many diseases. Since 75% of known diseases are of animal origin and 60% of these affect humans, it is vital to combat animal pathogens to prevent zoonoses and sustain both animal and human health. It is for this reason that Afrigen serves both human- and veterinary vaccine developers. For veterinary vaccines, our core focus is on livestock zoonotic diseases and livestock diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates.
