Traditionally, the OH approach considered infectious diseases that can be spread between animals and humans, e.g. rabies, brucellosis, and food-borne diseases as salmonellosis or campylobacteriosis. In fact, food represents an important driver in the context of OH, uniting the three aspects: agents could infect animals, that could be introduced in the food chain and reaching humans through the environment, affecting their health. Under the context of climate change, in addition to the effects on the infectious diseases related to food, mycotoxins assume particular concern, when health impact is discussed. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi, highly dependent on the environmental conditions, such as temperature or humidity that, if favorable to fungi growth, will increase mycotoxins' risk to animals (via feed contamination) and humans (via crop contamination and consumption, and animal-based contaminated foods). Additionally, animal production is an occupational setting in which exposure to mycotoxins has been frequently reported and feed has been identified as a source of contamination in the workplace environment resulting in worker’s exposure. The present communication aims to contribute to set the scene regarding mycotoxins in the context of climate change using an OH approach, an underexplored perspective. A case study considering mycotoxins feed contamination in a dairy farm, considering the potential implications for animal health, milk contamination and worker’s exposure will be assessed. The main results pointed out that an adequate OH for dairy production should address the different perspectives of OH, especially under a context highly challenging, as the anticipated climate change scenario.engMycotoxinsClimatic ChangesOne healthMicotoxinasSegurança AlimentarSaúde HumanaToxicologia dos AlimentosToxicologiaAvaliação do Riscoconference object
