Participation in One Health Networks and Involvement in the COVID-19 Pandemic Response: A Global Study, Streichert LC, Sepe Ludovico P, Jokelainen P, Stroud CM, Berezowski J, Del Rio Vilas VJ., Frontiers in Public Health, Vol. 10, 2022, DOI:10.3389/fpubh.2022.830893
"The proof of concept for the utility of One Health has been demonstrated repeatedly during previous outbreaks of zoonotic diseases. The key messages from One Health actions reported during COVID-19 include the importance of a supportive environment with shared resources, interdisciplinary engagement, and strategies for communication networks. To perform effectively, professionals need to be armed with the knowledge and skills from their own discipline, and also to be motivated and able to bridge with others. Proficiency in competencies required for understanding and applying One Health concepts requires breaking down disciplinary and professional siloes to find areas of overlap and complementarity."

"Governments and health administrations need to invest more in primary healthcare. This has become increasingly apparent as the covid-19 pandemic has progressed and changed with the current omicron wave, but it is also an investment for a post-pandemic future..... [W]e must build approaches that are more sustainable, less wasteful, and which give due attention to the protection of local and global ecosystems and the environment, in accordance with the “One Health” philosophy." https://bit.ly/3siJyPC

Di Paolo, Tommaso, IOS Press, 1 Jan. 2022 : 1 – 8.
"It emerged that the One Health approach is a paradigm that has been advanced for more than 30 years, but due to the inadequacy of local and world health policies, this approach was never translated into concrete actions to protect health, feeding problems at the cause of the COVID-19 pandemic....Having ascertained that the adoption of a One Health approach can no longer be postponed, this must be insisted on several interconnected sectors that establish the new concept of healthcare which, in addition to being interdisciplinary, necessarily takes on a global perspective."

Prevention is a major lesson from the current pandemic and the Nipah virus vaccine now under development shows the way forward. While the world and much of the medical and scientific community focus on dealing with COVID using effective vaccines and medications, other virus killers lurk in hiding which can become epidemics or pandemics, many emerging from the interface of the human/animal/ecosystem, One Health. https://bit.ly/3shueTw

Many governments, non-governmental and intergovernmental organizations have recognized the need for a One Health approach. Some have formally adopted National One Health Strategic Action Plans and One Health Antimicrobial Resistance Action Plans. Since 2019, the One Health Commission has been compiling these Action Plans to characterize this evolving policy landscape. These pages include links to:
- National One Health Strategic Action Plans
- Global Organizations’ One Health Framework Documents
- Regional One Health Frameworks
- One Health Antimicrobial Resistance Strategic Plans
- Countries/regions that have completed CDC One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization (OHZDP) workshops
These compilations are a global One Health community effort. Please help us make these webpages a tool for showing colleagues and policymakers how much One Health thinking and acting is being implemented globally.

Gone too Soon
On February 21st the world lost a powerful force for good, Paul Farmer, who passed away in his sleep from a cardiac arrest in Butaro, Rwanda. Subject of the book Mountains Beyond Mountains, a narrative that inspired many young people to go into Global Public Health, founder of the non-profit organization, Partners in Health, and instigator/ founder of the University for Global Health Equity in Rwanda, it is impossible to overstate the impact Paul had on millions of lives as a physician, teacher, leader and humanitarian. He showed how compassion, talent and grit can be a powerful combination to change the world we live in for the better. https://tinyurl.com/52rux83z

December 21, 2021, Over 5,000 plus participants of the Global Conference, who met virtually and in Geneva, Switzerland, agreed on a Geneva Charter for Well-being. The Charter builds on the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and the legacy of nine global conferences on health promotion. It highlights the need for global commitments to achieve equitable health and social outcomes now and for future generations, without destroying the health of our planet. This charter will drive policy-makers and world leaders to adopt this approach and commit to concrete action. https://bit.ly/3vhtX4O

Bernstein AS, Ando AW….. Dobson AP, Science Advances, 4 Feb 2022, Vol 8, Issue 5, DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.abl4183
"Veterinarians have had a major role as sentinels for disease emergence. They have been the principal proponents of the One Health concept that integrates human and animal welfare broadly and infectious diseases in particular (42). A country with few veterinarians, many reservoir species, and many people who consume or trade wildlife will be at greater risk for zoonoses. Figure 4 shows the ratio of veterinarians to nonveterinarians against the geographical size of a nation." https://bit.ly/352oPak

Prepared by the IUCN Species Survival Commission, this report reveals that contact with and trade of domesticated animals and their products are by far the most frequent source of recurring human illness. While less evidence exists tracing zoonotic disease cases to direct interactions with wildlife, risks linked to poorly regulated trade remain a concern. This situation analysis presents a thorough, evidence-based examination of the relationship between wildlife and zoonosis, wildlife and emerging human pathogens and associated diseases, their origins, drivers, and risk factors……..the evidence of human diseases coming from wildlife is compared to diseases emerging from domestic animals and humans themselves, to provide context and proportions of the relative risk. The report highlights key knowledge, and provides perspective on where research, policy, interventions, and capacity building are needed to reduce risks of zoonoses and emergent animal-origin human diseases globally. See the Report itself: Situation analysis on the roles and risks of wildlife in the emergence of human infectious diseases https://bit.ly/3hfwvs3

News from the One Health Social Sciences (OHSS) Initiative |
|
Social sciences are essential to understanding and addressing the root causes of disease and determinants of community health. Without an understanding of how sociological, cultural, economic, demographic, historical, linguistic, geographic, political, and other social dimensions contribute to health, society will be limited in achieving it for all. Social science disciplines are critical to making One Health the default way of doing business at all levels of research, academia, policy, and government.

A rose by any other name.....is still a rose...... #OneHealth
Report by The Urban Health and Wellbeing programme (UHWB) "The systems approach to urban health and wellbeing jointly developed at the Institute of Urban Environment, puts health to its center, however, extends the notion of human health to the health of other living systems on which human health and prosperity depend….. Ten years after its establishment, the Urban Health and Wellbeing programme (UHWB) publishes a second Science Action Plan, for the years 2021 to 2025. The International Science Council (ISC) and the International Society for Urban Health (ISUH) welcome the work by the UHWB community in producing a programmatic document and a roadmap for the programme.”

One Health and Snakebite in humans and livestock: The dual health and economic burden that exacerbates poverty
The impact of Snakebites is highly underestimated, even if we only look at its direct impact in humans. But it is even more underestimated because we have never really measured the impact of snakebite through its impact on livestock animals and loss of livelihood. One Health gives us the whole picture, with a systemic view of the impact of snakebite in humans and animals and the interdependence of human and animal health. The impact of snakebite is actually much greater than what we thought. See two new publications:
Snakebite epidemiology in humans and domestic animals across the Terai region in Nepal: a multicluster random survey. Gabriel Alcoba G, Sharma SK, Bolon I, Ochoa C, Martins SB, Subedi M, et. al., The Lancet Global Health, Volume 10, Issue 3, 2022, Pages e398-e408

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 focused on issues 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) can present challenges. Discussion topics included 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. https://bit.ly/3AttFZb

New Course
Hosted by the University of Exeter’s College of Medicine and Health, this new course will explore how natural environments can benefit the physical and mental health of people in a variety of different ways. It will address the relationship between nature and health, how the relationship works, why this matters for the environment, public health and sustainability, as well as how you can apply these learnings in your own practice. This course investigates the potential for the natural environment to be harnessed as a resource to improve human health and wellbeing. Potential mechanisms, moderators, and applications for these health benefits will be explored, considering large data sets and key studies linking nature and exposure and health, both within the UK and around the world.
