We propose the term "pan-epidemic Anthropocene" to refer to multifocal infectious disease epidemics related to human-caused (anthropogenic) forces such as urbanization, globalization, industrialization and the growing populations of humans and animals. The integrated framework of One Health (human, animal, and environmental health) helps both to understand why epidemics occur when and where they do, and also how to respond, mitigate, and sometimes prevent them. We suggest a collaborative mechanism for increasing One Health in medical education to create a synergy of strengths between the growing number of contributing One Health organizations in the US and internationally.
我们提出“泛流行人类世”这一术语，用以指代与城市化、全球化、工业化以及人类和动物数量不断增长等人为因素相关的多焦点传染病流行。“同一健康”（人类、动物和环境卫生）的综合框架有助于理解流行病在何时何地发生的原因，以及如何应对、减轻甚至有时预防这些流行病。我们建议建立一种合作机制，以加强医学教育中的“同一健康”理念，从而在美国和国际上越来越多的“同一健康”贡献组织之间形成优势协同效应。
