Dorien Braam, Assistant Professor of Social Science in One Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Director of Praxis Labs research and consulting, speaks about the importance of the inclusion of migrants into policies and actions towards zoonotic disease prevention and control.
