new scientific hotspot for "One Health" The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research ( www.helmholtz-hzi.de ) is founding a new outpost in Greifswald, which will be dedicated to "One Health" research topics. With an annual institutional budget of € 5.5 million, the new Helmholtz Institute will focus on epidemiology, molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis as well as pathogen-host-environment interactions of primarily zoonotic infections. The local cooperation partners are the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute, the University of Greifswald and the University Medicine Greifswald. Position of the

The current issue of the Laborjournal is dedicated to virology. In this context, zoonoses must of course not be missing as a topic. In a detailed article, the danger posed by zoonotic pathogens is highlighted. What role do humans play? What influence do climate changes have? And why is antibiotic use important in this context? The article in the March issue of the Laborjournal explores these and other questions. The journal spoke with Prof. Stephan Ludwig (University of Münster) and Dr. Sandra Junglen (Charité Berlin), among others, as well as with other experts from the community. The full

The symposium of the German Research Platform for Zoonoses once again brought together hundreds of researchers for an exchange of data and expertise. Under the title "Zoonoses 2021: From Disease Ecology to SARS-CoV-2", more than 300 zoonoses researchers met online from October 13 to 15, 2021, to share current research results. The wide range of topics reflected the diverse field of research and once again demonstrated the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve sustainable success in zoonoses research, control and prevention. It is not without a certain irony that it is a
