We review the nature of interdisciplinary research in relation to One Health, a perspective on human-animal health which would appear to merit close interdisciplinary cooperation to inform public health policy. We discuss the relationship between biological sciences, epidemiology and the social sciences and note that interdisciplinary work demands attention be given to a range of often neglected epistemological and methodological issues. Epidemiologists may sometimes adopt social science techniques as "bolt-ons"1 to their research without having a complete understanding of how the social sciences work. The paper introduces a range of social science concepts and applies them to the challenges of understanding and practicing participatory and local epidemiology. We consider the problem of co-production of knowledge about One Health and zoonotic diseases in relation to funding structures, working in large international teams and explore some of the often-neglected realities of working across disciplines and cultures. We do this in part by applying the concept of value-chain to the research process.

实践联合生产和跨学科：一项健康研究的挑战和影响。

我们回顾了与“同一个健康”相关的跨学科研究的性质，这是一种人类与动物健康的视角，似乎值得密切的跨学科合作来为公共卫生政策提供信息。我们讨论了生物科学、流行病学和社会科学之间的关系，并指出跨学科工作需要关注一系列经常被忽视的认识论和方法论问题。流行病学家有时可能会采用社会科学技术作为其研究的“补充”1，但并不完全了解社会科学是如何运作的。本文介绍了一系列社会科学概念，并将其应用于理解和实践参与式和地方流行病学的挑战。我们考虑与资金结构有关的“同一个健康”和人畜共患疾病知识的共同生产问题，在大型国际团队中工作，并探讨跨学科和文化工作中一些经常被忽视的现实。我们通过将价值链概念应用于研究过程来部分实现这一点。
