Humans, livestock, and wildlife often interact closely, intimately linking human, animal, and environmental health. The concept of One Health captures this interconnectedness, including the social structures and beliefs driving interactions between species and their environments. East African policymakers and researchers are recognising and encouraging One Health research, with both groups increasingly playing a leading role in this subject area. One Health research requires interaction between scientists from different disciplines, such as the biological and social sciences and human and veterinary medicine. Different disciplines draw on norms, methodologies, and terminologies that have evolved within their respective institutions and that may be distinct from or in conflict with one another. These differences impact interdisciplinary research, both around theoretical and methodological approaches and during project operationalisation. We present experiential knowledge gained from numerous ongoing projects in northern Tanzania, including those dealing with bacterial zoonoses associated with febrile illness, foodborne disease, and anthrax. We use the examples to illustrate differences between and within social and biological sciences and between industrialised and traditional societies, for example, with regard to consenting procedures or the ethical treatment of animals. We describe challenges encountered in ethical approval processes, consenting procedures, and field and laboratory logistics and offer suggestions for improvement. While considerable investment of time in sensitisation, communication, and collaboration is needed to overcome interdisciplinary challenges inherent in One Health research, this can yield great rewards in paving the way for successful implementation of One Health projects. Furthermore, continued investment in African institutions and scientists will strengthen the role of East Africa as a world leader in One Health research. date: 2017-03 date_type: published publication: East African Health Research Journal volume: 1 number: 1 publisher: East African Health Research Commission pagerange: 8-18 refereed: TRUE official_url: http://www.eac.int/about/institutions/eahrc copyright_holders: Copyright © 2017 Ladbury et al. prior: First published in East African Health Research Journal 1(1): 8-18 repro: Reproduced under a Creative Commons license uniqueid: glaseprints:2017-144218 creators_browse_id: 6942 creators_browse_id: 34161 creators_browse_id: 7735 creators_browse_id: 3955 creators_browse_id: 31219 creators_browse_id: 41073 creators_browse_id: 12501 creators_browse_id: 15873 creators_browse_id: 29936 creators_browse_id: 34331 creators_browse_id: 12137 creators_browse_id: 33853 staff_edit: Item viewed, online version 13.07.17 AA. funding_project_code: 56822 funding_project_code: 62834 funding_project_code: 62787 funding_project_code: 62832 funding_project_code: 68420 funding_project_code: 66052 funding_project_code: 60641 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 1 funding_award_no: 2 funding_project_name: Impact, ecology and social determinants of bacterial zoonoses in northern Tanzania funding_project_name: Hazards associated with zoonotic enteric pathogens in emerging livestock meat pathways (HAZEL) funding_project_name: Social, economic and environmental drivers of zoonoses in Tanzania (SEEDZ) funding_project_name: Molecular epidemology of brucellosis in northern Tanzania funding_project_name: Molecular epidemiology of Bacillus anthracis: novel data and techniques for local surveillance in Tanzania funding_project_name: A One-Health approach to dissecting the diverse zoonotic causes of non-malaria febrile illness funding_project_name: MRC Doctoral Training Grant 2012-16 funding_investigator_name: Sarah Cleaveland funding_investigator_name: Ruth Zadoks funding_investigator_name: Sarah Cleaveland funding_investigator_name: Daniel Haydon funding_investigator_name: Roman Biek funding_investigator_name: Daniel Haydon funding_investigator_name: Margaret MacLean funding_funder_name: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding_funder_name: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding_funder_name: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding_funder_name: Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding_funder_name: European Commission (EC) funding_funder_name: The Royal Society (ROYSOC) funding_funder_name: Medical Research Council (MRC) funding_funder_code: BB/J010367/1 funding_funder_code: BB/L017679/1 funding_funder_code: BB/L018926/1 funding_funder_code: BB/L018845/1 funding_funder_code: 659223 funding_funder_code: AA130131 funding_funder_code: MR/K500847/1 funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI BIODIVERSITY ANIMAL HEALTH & COMPMED funding_investigator_dept: RI CARDIOVASCULAR & MEDICAL SCIENCES metadata_qc: full fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article access_rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess dates_date: 2017-02-02 dates_date: 2017-03 dates_date_type: accepted dates_date_type: published hoa_compliant: 500 hoa_ref_pan: AB hoa_date_acc: 2017-02-02 hoa_date_pub: 2017-03 hoa_date_fcd: 2017-07-13 hoa_date_foa: 2017-07-13 hoa_version_fcd: VoR oa_date_of_comp_deposit: 2017-07-13 oa_notes: 13.07.17 AA Author emailed deposit@lib.
