One Health Book Club: Exploring The American Plague

The One Health Book Club brings together people with diverse backgrounds to explore the connections among human, animal, and environmental health through story-driven books. In recognition of One Health Day, our November 3 and 4 virtual discussions will focus on The American Plague by Molly Caldwell Crosby. Through the history of yellow fever, our book club members consider how mosquitoes, environmental conditions, scientific discovery, public trust, and community responses shaped an epidemic and its consequences. This informal, facilitated conversation promotes One Health by connecting historical experiences with the need for collaboration across disciplines and communities today.
