RIVM aims to improve the collaboration between the human and veterinary health sectors. This makes it possible to intervene quickly and efficiently in case of a zoonotic disease outbreak. This approach is explained in our new film on zoonoses.

Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases spread between animals and humans. RIVM short film on Zoonoses describes how people can get zoonotic diseases and our role in the control of communicable infectious diseases.
