Nature writer, Douglas Chadwick notes that because they are not a single organism but rather an interactive community of species, he thinks of lichens as kind of a doorway between organisms or individual species and ecosystems. "Look out one direction," he writes," and you see individual things; look the other way, you see processes, relationships-things together. This is the new level in understanding biology" ( Chadwick, 2003, p. 119). And it is this new understanding that the authors of " Animal-Human Connections," One Health,' and the Syndemic Approach to Prevention (Rock, Buntain, Hatfield, & Hallgrimsson, 2009) bring to their analysis of the significance of zoonosis-the movement of diseases between non-human animal spcies and humans-in the development of health threatening syndemics like bovine tuberculosis.
