One Health Happenings
|
|
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent. The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate changes and contributing to sustainable development. The One Health paradigm forges co-equal, all-inclusive collaborations between animal, plant, environmental and human health arenas, i.e. chemical, engineering and social scientists, dentists, nurses, agricultural/horticulturalists and food producers, wildlife and environmental health specialists and many other related disciplines that fall under its purview. The reader can review a compilation of organizations that are actively working to advance the One Health paradigm shift and many additional organizations and individuals that declare support for the concept.

October 2-5, 2022 Workshop / Summit
Location: Les Pensières Center for Global Health, Annecy, France. This workshop was organized by the Huck Institutes, Pennsylvania State with funding from Gates foundation. It was led by Vivek Kapur (Penn State) and Sindura Ganapathi (Penn State and Govt. of India) together with Cheryl Stroud (One Health Commission), Gagandeep Kang (CMC Vellore, India), James Wood (Cambridge University, UK) and Peter Hudson and Robab Katani (Penn State).
The recent pandemic has brought into sharp focus the need for better integration of (human, livestock, wildlife, environmental) infectious disease surveillance and control programs and has driven considerable interest and investments. However, clarity is lacking regarding implementation strategies based on deeper understanding of the underlying systems – capturing features that should ensure system resilience and the sustained surveillance and control of zoonotic diseases. Hence, despite the widely prevailing belief that “One-Health” based approaches to disease surveillance for ensuring health security are virtuous, value propositions (alignments of incentives and disincentives) remain confused.
Led by an excellent team of expert facilitators and a visual graphic recorder, a multi-disciplinary group of 44 leading scientists, policy makers, funding agency representatives, members of multi-national organizations and business leaders participated in discussions on the value proposition and sustainability of One Health approaches for integrated infectious disease surveillance and control programs. Over a three-day period, the team addressed three fundamental questions:
- Why are One Health approaches not more widely adopted on the ground? And, what barriers are preventing these ideas from spreading beyond a few champions / early adopters?
- Why, across the globe, do One Health integrated surveillance and control programs fail or fade away when the catalyst (funding / champion / etc.) is removed? Even for cases where the need appears obvious – (eg. rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, tuberculosis, etc.) why are these initiatives not sustainably maintained?
- How, if at all, might such disease control programs be made more sustainable? What is/are the value-proposition(s) / drivers necessary and sufficient to establish sustainable integrated disease surveillance and control programs across diverse settings/regions where they are needed the most?
Important insights and some guiding principles to inform future implementations of integrated One Health disease surveillance and control programs began to emerge and are being prepared for publication and follow-up studies. Part of the challenge is that One Health processes cannot only be top-down; they must also be bottom up with stakeholders on the ground developing the value propositions. https://tinyurl.com/39axc67e

Released August 22, 2022
In June 2021, the G7 Carbis Bay Health Summit requested that the Quadripartite (FAO, UNEP, WHO, WOAH alliance) conduct a One Health Intelligence Scoping Study ‘to identify potential opportunities for improved technical harmonization of their and other prioritized systems to strengthen One Health intelligence’. OHISS was funded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and coordinated by FAO, as the lead agency for the project. The scoping study was completed at the end of July 2022. The study undertook a series of foundational activities which identified a number of issues to be addressed and the need for critical guiding principles. The key recommendation of 3 OHISS is that immediate actions are taken to develop a Global One Health Intelligence System (GOHIS). A joint Quadripartite approach is suggested to effectively, efficiently and sustainably improve the technical harmonization of health intelligence systems across the Quadripartite partners, delivering improved One Health intelligence to enhance early warning and risk assessment of global health threats. GOHIS is outlined as a modular framework to operationalize One Health intelligence. https://bit.ly/3dBbiKB

New Guidelines from the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH)
September 2022, “Though animal-to-human and human-to-human transmission [of monkeypox] has been scientifically established, there are recent reports suggesting human-to-animal transmission in these new geographic regions. In such regions, there is concern regarding the spread of this virus from humans to animals, including wildlife and pets, which could lead to the establishment of new reservoir host populations, making the virus endemic to these regions. In such a situation, prevention and control of the global health emergency will be complicated, both for humans (public health) and animals (animal health). Thus, the risk of human-to-animal spillback,,.................. needs to be minimised ……” https://tinyurl.com/26znmwnv

foraus Project Brief Released
What will our future look like if we maintain the status quo?
Foraus, a grassroots think tank based in Switzerland, kicked off this project, One Health' for the Future, in April 2022 with an online workshop titled Envisioning “One Health” for the future: aligning human, animal and planetary health. ( Recording available.) This initiative explored three major phenomena that the "One Health" approach aims at preventing and addressing: zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and food safety and security threats. The resulting Project Brief was published in August. “While international organizations and their Member States are increasingly aligning and integrating One Health as a concept into their action plans, we at foraus believed that it was crucial to go one step further by looking into the future and thinking about the One Health approach of tomorrow in an open and inclusive process, outside of usual thinking patterns and existing multilateral processes. This project brief summarizes the main results and ideas crowdsourced through this participatory process involving interested citizens and experts from the field. It presents policy pathways that should be further explored.”

New Special Research Topic at Frontiers in Public Health Journal
The goal of this Research Topic is to bring forward various zoonotic issues across the world, and how a One Health approach could be helpful in a global context. This topic aims to gather manuscripts from several research scientists from veterinary, medical and environmental sciences in order to compile quality information on zoonoses and One Health. This topic should provide opportunity for the One Health community to learn from the work, experience and expertise of others facing the same challenges across the globe, and how they have evolved with the opportunities to resolve them. The following themes are welcome into this collection:
- Drivers of emerging zoonotic pathogens;
- Zoonoses and wild animals;
- Molecular epidemiology of zoonotic pathogens;
|
|
• One health approach to resolve zoonoses;
• Role of climate change in emerging zoonoses;

When the ‘Outbreak’ exhibit opened in May 2018 in the Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C., the planners knew that the knowledge they were sharing was critical for preparing visitors to understand and confront the challenges of emerging infectious diseases. What they did not know was how soon those challenges would come to bear in the form of a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Even though the museum was forced to limit attendance in 2020 and much of 2021, by extending its public availability for an extra year as pandemic risks became better managed, it was still visited by 3.3 million people. Though the physical exhibit closed on October 3, 2022, the Smithsonian remains committed to educating about pandemic risks and One Health. The museum’s digital exhibit will remain accessible and updated, and a monthly webinar series called Shared Planet, Shared Health launched on October 12 (see Recent Past Events) with a focus on monkeypox. In addition, the museum will celebrate One Health Day on November 3 with an installation of Outbreak DIY that will include some physical components of the original Outbreak exhibition - and run indefinitely!
Note: the Do-it-Yourself (DIY) ‘pop-up’ version of the exhibit will continue to be distributed free of charge. So you can still bring this amazing exhibit to a library, shopping mall, hospital lobby or educational institution near you. Contact Ashley Peery at PeeryA@si.edu if interested.

Monkeypox rampant in wildlife would make the virus impossible to control, warn scientists. Such animal reservoirs could then transmit the virus back to people. Without an understanding of how animals change the transmission dynamics, scientists will struggle to control the virus’s spread and prevent future outbreaks. https://go.nature.com/3ChzQAU

“Finding common ground between countries and institutions to deal with our common health future is still an uphill road at the upcoming G20 in Indonesia.....We live in a time of political turmoil and mistrust. This is fact whether political, societal or militarily. Few concepts have the potential for governments, scientists and/or people in general to find a universal common cause. One such construct or model is the growing recognition of the basic elements of the One Health paradigm: The concept, approach, and its broader expression and reach, i.e. we all exist in One World, on One Planet…………For instance, an August 2022 article in the World Economic Forum,........ noted that “extreme weather events are being reported continuously across the world and are expected to become more frequent and intense. These are not separate issues. We will have a better chance of suppressing infectious diseases if we adopt…a One Health approach and integrate predictive modeling and surveillance used in both infectious disease control and climate change.”

“A new historical overview of how the One Health concept developed over 150 years brings home the fact that the time has come to adopt it worldwide...the growing number of countries adopting One Health Strategic Action Plans is of great significance. The One Health Commission provided a useful compilation of currently available information, which shows that 21 countries have adopted such plans, mostly in SouthEast Asia (5 countries, including Bangladesh, Thailand and Vietnam) and in Africa (15 countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and Nigeria).......Lobbying for an international One Health body is proceeding with the support of France and Germany. Other countries actively engaged in this field are Canada, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland......But much more needs to be done. Hopefully the good intentions will be followed in deeds reflected in funds for research, policies and programs. And hopefully, the efforts will be sustained…. There is a window of opportunity to avoid failing to learn from our past and to be open to a One Health approach, which, though challenging, will reap untold rewards. Not least among them, it will help us avoid the worst of the next pandemic, most likely to be coming out of the zoonosphere just like COVID-19. https://tinyurl.com/fyfthe6d

New Journal Launched early 2021
An international, peer-reviewed, open access journal
Current socio-ecological challenges such as climate change, destruction of natural habitats, species extinction, urbanization, and emerging zoonotic diseases severely impact the health of people, wildlife, and domestic animals. Thus, communicable and non-communicable diseases and increasing antimicrobial resistance demand a comprehensive understanding of the relation between health and disease as well as their determinants, considering human, animal, plant and environmental disciplines, on a global scale. OHIR aims to promote multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that provides evidence to improve health for all. A special focus of this journal is on the implementation of study findings to achieve sustainable disease prevention and control within the One Health approach, in collaboration with communities, policy makers and other stakeholders. The journal publishes Original Articles, Review Articles, Meta-Analyses, Systematic Reviews, Technical Notes, Commentaries, Letters to Editor, Opinions and Perspectives. Current Ongoing Special IssuesTopics include:
- Antimicrobial Stewardship: A One Health Perspective
- Antibiotic Resistance and Natural Products
- One Health Implementation: Focus on Advanced Education
- Adopt One Health - Stop Rabies: Current Progress for dog-mediated rabies by 2030

One Health for rural populations
Author: Kay Miller Temple, MD
In: Rural Health Information Hub - The RURAL MONITOR
This article is a great introduction and overview to the full scope of One Health for the rural US population. Common rural scenarios:
- In a small town, a community member calls the mayor or another community leader about a raccoon that’s just shown up during the day, staggering around the neighborhood, unusual since raccoons are nocturnal wildlife and don’t stagger if they’re well.
- A second scenario: A family veterinarian tells a farm or ranch family member they’d better check with their own healthcare provider after diagnosing livestock with a potential animal-to-human disease. Meanwhile, the vet reports to county or state agencies.
- And yet a third scenario: The area’s farmers and ranchers compare notes, realizing that they’ve all reported finding deer in the last 48 hours, lying dead at a watering source, unrepresentative of a natural death…..
Though lacking specifically labeled efforts, these scenarios share much of what represents One Health actions/reactions in rural life: inherent knowledge combined with informal networks around a common concern for potential human-animal-environment disease transmission. https://tinyurl.com/222jb9wu

News from the One Health Social Sciences (OHSS) Initiative |
|
- a working group of the One Health Commission
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. Be sure to visit the OHSS webpage and check out the OHSS Webinars Library for recordings of past webinars. https://tinyurl.com/OHC-OH-SocScie https://tinyurl.com/OHSS-Webinars

A Part of the Pathways: Human Dimensions of Wildlife Conference
Wageningen University, The Netherlands
As human pressures and wildlife populations increase in many regions in Europe and around the world, nature reserves are not sufficient for successful conservation. The need to share landscapes between humans and wildlife presents a major societal challenge. This calls for understanding human-wildlife interactions in complex spatial contexts to attune societal land use needs and wildlife habitat needs. The conference will explore the crucial question: how can we share landscapes in ways that are beneficial for both humans and wildlife in times of species extinction, climate change and social injustice? https://bit.ly/3z5xELu

September 27, 2022
Co-hosted as part of the One Health Quadripartite. The health of the environment is a critical foundation for the health and well-being of humans, animals and plants. Environmental degradation caused by human activities poses several health threats that are invariably complex and rooted in how humans interact with and use the environment. The environmental sector, which consists of areas such as natural resource management, wildlife management and conservation, biodiversity conservation, management and sustainable use, pollution and waste management is not always routinely incorporated into the One Health approach and there has been limited engagement in cross-sectoral initiatives. This discussion showcased concrete examples from countries of how to integrate Environment and One Health at the community, national, regional and global levels, and addressed the challenges faced during the implementation of One Health programs and activities as well as their sustainability. https://tinyurl.com/2bvxf9hh

September 19, 29, & 30, 2022 NASEM Workshop
Washington, D.C and virtual. Hosted by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine, Health and Medicine. Increased understanding of the interconnections between humans and Nature has led to new research that extends across traditional scientific research disciplines and the development of a variety of frameworks that consider relationships among people, animals, and the environment. However, gaps remain in our understanding of these interconnections, in our ability to effectively translate new knowledge into policy and practice, and in how we engage with the broad range of researchers, communities, decision makers, and other stakeholders that bring valuable perspectives to this topic. This workshop considered the strengths and lessons learned from existing activities focused on the integration of public health and Nature research and explored how we can advance integration through new and emerging cross-cutting research areas and develop solutions that inform policy and practice while promoting equity, justice, and resilience. https://tinyurl.com/2p89727m

Closing date: 12 October 2022
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a severe threat to human, animal, plant and environmental health, global food security and livelihoods, and currently, there is inadequate financial support for the sustainable implementation of national action plans on AMR. The existing estimates of the costs of antimicrobial resistance containment measures and national action plan implementation may underestimate the actual cost of responding and not responding to antimicrobial resistance in a One Health context. The Quadripartite has agreed to establish a Quadripartite Technical Group on the Economics of AMR (QTG-EA) to advise on estimating the AMR cost and associated co-benefits of AMR response across different sectors to inform global and regional, and country prioritization and resource mobilization.
