2020 was a year that none of us could have predicted. (As was 2021) Yet in many ways it is a culmination of the predictions we have heard for decades. Authors: Alders R, Dar O, Kock R, Rampa F, Chatham House, October 2020
- Our globalized food systems pose a threat to human, animal, and environmental health
- Our food systems are inherently unequal and further exacerbate inequities
- Actions for multilaterals, governments, communities, and individuals to take NOW, by 2030 and beyond.

April 27-29, 2022 


On the occasion of the launching of the new Helmhotz Institute for One Health (HIOH) at the University of Greifswald by The Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI), the University of Greifswald (UG), the University Medical Center Greifswald (UMG) and the Friedrich-Loeffler-Institute (FLI Federal Research Institute for Animal Health). The rapid development of resistance to vaccines and therapeutics further exacerbates the threat posed by these pathogens. It is increasingly clear that global human health is a product of human-animal and environmental interactions. This means that isolated approaches focusing solely on human or animal health are insufficient to understand the genesis and spread of infectious diseases and to enable the development of innovative coping measures. The planned HIOH in Greifswald therefore takes a holistic approach that focuses on the health of humans and animals within their environment. The OHCG 2022 aims to promote interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration between the different approaches and directions of human, animal, and environmental health within One Health research, as a prerequisite for the further development of the entire research field. Organized into three sessions: 1. Pathogen-host-environment interactions, 2. Past, present, and future of zoonotic events 3. Antimicrobial resistance, vaccinology, and prevention.

In areas where Histoplasma is common, people who work in construction, demolition, and extraction occupations and in agriculture and forestry industries may be at higher risk for histoplasmosis. People who work in other occupations or industries and are exposed to bird or bat droppings or are involved with activities that disrupt the environment are also at risk.The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has created a website to provide information needed to understand and prevent work-related histoplasmosis in the United States. It is intended to help readers understand what histoplasmosis is, recognize activities that might expose workers to Histoplasma, and identify methods to protect themselves and others from exposure. https://bit.ly/3o338wN

Hot Off the Press!
This is the opening chapter of the new book One Welfare in Practice: The Role of the Veterinarian (Ed. Stephens , CRC Press), the first book dedicated to the role of the veterinarian in One Welfare. The One Welfare concept recognises the interconnections between animal welfare, human wellbeing, and the environment. It shows how veterinarians can and are contributing to improving animal and human welfare, offering practical advice as to how the profession can further engage in One Welfare in a range of settings. One Health and One Welfare are parallel conversations moving in lockstep. Chapter 12, 'Working Animals: One Health and One Welfare' by Ben Sturgeon also featurs One Health. https://bit.ly/3KKLR5j

Stanford University Press, Eds: Tsing AL, Deger J, Saxena AK, Zhou F, An interactive platform to explore the more-than-human Anthropocene . Originally published in 2020, “Feral Atlas invites you to explore the ecological worlds created when nonhuman entities become tangled up with human infrastructure projects. Seventy-nine field reports from scientists, humanists, and artists show you how to recognize “feral” ecologies, that is, ecologies that have been encouraged by human-built infrastructures, but which have developed and spread beyond human control. These infrastructural effects, Feral Atlas argues, are the Anthropocene.”

2nd Annual Conference of The Global War Against the Rat and the Epistemic Emergence of Zoonosis project
University of Saint Andrews, Scotland, Bringing together perspectives from the humanities and the social sciences in dialogue with the life sciences, this online conference seeks to break new ground in the hitherto understudied medical and health dimensions of species invasivenesseluc. It will elucidate how species invasiveness has been linked to medical and health questions, the epistemological, political and ethnographic realities of making this connection, and to examine how medicalized notions of “invasive species” have shaped relationships between humans, animals, plants, microbes, land use, and the environment. Submit abstracts by February 28, 2022. https://wwrat.wp.s -andrews.ac.uk/conferences/

April 8, 2022 Symposium
University of Leeds, UK, This interdisciplinary symposium will explore the potential futures of care in light of recent critical interrogations of the human, life and care, the emergence of affective technologies (including social robots), and the turn to entanglement in critical and cultural theory. Special interest in papers that theorize care beyond the human, the animal, or even the biological, exploring how care functions both within and beyond what Elizabeth Povinelli calls “the carbon imaginary”, her term for Western epistemologies’ covert conflation of life and being, biology and ontology.” Proposals due by January 31, 2022. https://posthumancare.org.uk/call-for-papers/

One Health Issues IN the News!
Commentary
Author: Janet Midega In: StatNews
A paper published January 2022 in The Lancet shows that AMR was the direct cause of at least 1.27 million deaths in 2019 — more than many widely recognized causes of death, such as malaria and HIV/AIDs. ... The world must now move from awareness to urgent action and use the new data to make informed decisions about policy development for mitigating antimicrobial resistance and accelerating measures under AMR national action plans, whose progress has often been hampered by a lack of prioritization and shortage of long-term financing. https://tinyurl.com/bdz2dr5u

February 9-10, 2022 Workshop
Hosted by the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine
Research to advance understanding of the ecology and biology of wildlife species is more important than ever as the world confronts issues ranging from biodiversity loss to the emergence of zoonotic diseases. This workshop will focus on challenges associated with the unique welfare challenges of conducting research with biologically diverse vertebrates living in varied habitats, for which guidance resources on wildlife research sometimes conflict and recommendations outlined in the current version of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (8th edition) are not always aligned. Discussion topics include perspectives on animal welfare considerations; laws, regulations, and permits associated with fish and wildlife; wild animal population concerns; the role of veterinarians in wildlife research; restraint and handling of animals in the field; and transition of wild animals to captive settings. Free registration: https://bit.ly/3AttFZb

Air pollution is one of the greatest environmental threats to human health. It can result in heart and chronic respiratory illness, cancer, and premature death. Currently, no single satellite instrument provides ready-to-use, high resolution information on surface-level air pollutants. This gap in information means that millions of people cannot take daily action to protect their health.
