Endemic diseases like malaria, multidrug-resistant bacteria or diarrhea and emerging infections like COVID-19, Ebola or Zika can cause significant, detrimental impacts to Soldiers from home station to dense, urban or subterranean environments. Furthermore, they significantly impact food security, the environment and more, threatening global health and stability. The WRAIR One Health Branch (OHB) uses a transdisciplinary, collaborative approach to identify capability gaps and synchronize research solutions to achieve optimal Soldier readiness and enhance global health security. The OHB will leverage WRAIR’s strengths to pursue innovative, collaborative and multidisciplinary projects to produce proactive solutions for health threats that occur at the human, animal and environmental interface, including zoonotic and vector-borne infectious diseases.
