One Health cooperation in COVID-19 diagnostics
While the world faces the COVID-19 global pandemic, many consortium partners in the European Joint Programme Cofund on One Health (One Health EJP) play key roles in managing the situation at the national level across Europe. The FAO has recognised that enormous processivity is needed for the diagnostic capacity required, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has provided guidance for how veterinary laboratories can provide support. Veterinary laboratories have large experience in the diagnosis of infectious diseases, also under emergency situation, and can therefore be tremendously supportive in this. The EJP provides updates of these involvements that highlight how One Health co-operation has been established across Europe.
