It is basically multidisciplinary as it involves several knowlegeds, including Veterinary Medicine. To this care movement of human and animal health it has been given the name of One Health. The purpose of this research is to inform and act on the control and prevention of communicable diseases of domestic and synanthropic animals to man, connecting the Collective Health, the Epidemiologic aspects, Health, Education, Preventive, Responsible Ownership and Animal Welfare. The goal was to increase the previous acquired knowledge of the students with the practice promoting actions focusing the Collective Health, becoming them more and more able to dedicate themselves to during graduation, in several relatedareas: Public Health, Epidemiology, Environment, Permanent Education in Health and NASF (Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família - Family Health Support Center, a specific health programe in Brazil). The veterinarian is intrinsically linked to those issues and might be part of specific studies and situations related to conservation and environmental protection.

Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) define health as "A state of complete physical, mental and social welfare, not only the absence of affections and diseases"[1]. Therefore, Collective Health covers a wide range of Health Care that contemplates these goals stablished by WHO. The ecological dimension of Health is understood by the relations betweens Health, Sanitation and Environment, especially in those communities in need. Environmental Health covers some of the following measures: public water supply and sanitation; health of workers; domestic waste management; housing hygiene; control of environmental risks to Health; safety in the use of chemical substances, such as heavy metals, agrochemicals, organic solvents [2,3]. In the following text are listed some of the injuries detected by professors of the Veterinary College of UNIFESOthat must be worked out in the communities by the studentstogheter with the local health agents in Teresopolis city (in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil) with the purpose of alerting and spreading Collective Health. 1.1 Tick borne diseases In Brazil, both in cities and rural region, is common to find animals such as oxen, horses anddogs carriers of different species of Amblyomma andRhiphycephalussanguineus[4,5] vectors and / or hosts of zoonoses. Those animals are used as sentinels for important diseases in Public Health. At least five agents of the family Anaplasmataceae have been described as infectious to humans, including Ehrlichiachaffensis, E. ewingii, E. canis, E. platys, Anaplasmaphagocytophilum and Neorickettsiasennetsu [6].Almost all species of Ehrlichia can infect humans becoming an important concern.Parasiticdiseases that cause human granulocytic ehrlichiosis can naturally infect several animal species. An especific concern about these parasites, especially thosethatcauses canine monocyticehrlichiosis, is that they may be pathogenic to humans [7]. Some parasites transmitted by ticks and other vectors is not yet known but has an important zoonotic potential.No human cases of the diseases caused by Mycoplasma haemocanis, Mycoplasma haemofelis, Hepatozoon sp. and Rangelliavitalii, but there should be extensive investigation in this sense.
