随着人们日益认识到人，动物和环境之间的相互作用是健康和福祉的主要决定因素，尤其是病原体传播和所引起疾病的决定因素，“单一健康”方法变得越来越重要。在IGH中，我们研究了范围广泛的人与动物的重要传染病，包括在人与人之间传播的人畜共患疾病。我们的一项健康研究横跨这一广泛领域，包括以下领域：气候变化和动物传染病，人畜共患病疾病流行病学，小型动物兽医监测网络。哲学硕士（MPhil）和医学博士（MD）2年。
The One Health approach is increasingly important as appreciation grows that the interactions between people, animals and environment are major determinants of health and well-being, and in particular to pathogen transmission and the diseases caused. The University of Liverpool's Institute of Infection and Global Health was established to bring together leading medical, veterinary and basic science researchers from across the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. It also complements other strengths in Liverpool, including the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, the Wolfson Centre for Personalised Medicine, the Medicines for Children Research Network, and the Wellcome Trust Tropical Centre with its associated PhD programme. A One Health approach to infectious disease research is increasingly important as it is becoming156 clear that the interactions between people, animals and environment are major determinants of pathogen transmission. Greater understanding of these interactions will increase our knowledge of the impact of infectious diseases on the health and well-being of both humans and animals. Within the Institute of Infection & Global Health we are studying the effect of urbanisation, globalisation, climate change, agricultural intensification and encroachment on wildlife habitat on the (re-)emergence of pathogens threatening biodiversity, water and food, and human/animal health.
