摘要：The 19th century pathologist Rudolf Virchow was distinctive in his emphasis on multifocal and transdisciplinary thinking about the determinants of health and disease. Most famously, he wrote a ground-breaking report for the Prussian Government on the 1847–48 typhus outbreak in the region of Upper Silesia, advocating free and unlimited democracy as the single most important principle in addressing the epidemic.1 As an advocate for system change to address health inequities, Virchow has been described as a pioneer of One Health: the idea that the health and wellbeing of human and animal populations and environmental systems are complex interconnected occurrences shaped by biosocial contexts.
