Natural barrier or meeting space? Border between continents or unique ecosystem as well as cradle of Western civilization? It is the Crocevia Mediterraneo, protagonist of the second edition of the One Health Award (OHA), organized in Teramo from 13 to 15 October 2023 by the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Abruzzo and Molise (IZS).
One Health Award is the annual event dedicated to the theme of One Health which this year chooses to focus its gaze on Mare Nostrum. A place of exchange of peoples, cultures, animals, but also viruses and bacteria that certainly know no national borders. Ancient myths and pressing current issues, geopolitical balances and health issues intersect as the cultures that have approached these waters have done for millennia.
