The project partnerships developed through the India Zoo Risk and India Zoo Systems projects have together developed a One Health, data and models for zoonotic disease management training course.
The course was originally delivered online over 3 sessions that took place between November 2021 – January 2022, delivering approximately 21 hours of training.
