Annual OAHN Public Health Updates
OAHN recognizes that animal health is inextricably linked to human health in many ways, particularly when it comes to companion animals, with which people have the closest contact on a regular basis. Zoonotic diseases are a frequent topic of discussion and on reports. In order to help strengthen the link and communication between animal health and public health networks, this report was created especially for public health professionals in Ontario, highlighting pertinent topics each year.
