New to the One Health Conversation? Learn - What is One Health?
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.

The Quadripartite announces proposed members of its Term II One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP)
19 March 2024
The OHHLEP is the scientific and strategic advisory group to the Quadripartite organizations - the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) – in their collaboration on One Health. Twenty-six international experts from 24 countries were appointed in May 2021 to serve. The Panel brings together experts who have a range of technical knowledge, skills and experience relevant to One Health from a wide geographic range. Since its launch the OHHLEP has provided critical advice to the Quadripartite in its first term, which concluded on 31st December 2023, and has produced many impactful deliverables. Following launch of the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA ) and its implementation guide the Quadripartite collaboration has prioritized support to countries in its roll out. In this regard, the Terms of Reference for OHHLEP have been revised and in October 2023 a Call for Experts was issued for Term II. After careful consideration of all applications submitted to the Quadripartite, 30 proposed OHHLEP members, some previous and some new, having expertise in a range of areas, have been announced. https://tinyurl.com/48fbrp56 See overview of Term I and Term II. https://tinyurl.com/59ejjc8u

Released April 4, 2024
Global Leaders Group (GLG) Report calling for
UN Member States to take action on AMR
Towards Specific Commitments and Action in the Response to Antimicrobial Resistance
Amid the escalating impact of antimicrobial resistance, the GLG calls on UN Member States to take bold and specific action (amrleaders.org).
Key recommendations include:
- Request the Secretary-General, in close collaboration with the Quadripartite and other relevant stakeholders, to convene an Independent Panel on Evidence for Action against Antimicrobial Resistance by 2025, in a One Health context to monitor and provide Member States with regular reports on the science and evidence related to antimicrobial resistance, its impacts and future risks, and to recommend options for adaptation and mitigation.
- The Quadripartite organizations should urgently update the 2015 Global Action Plan on AMR to ensure a robust, multisectoral One Health response and drive greater impact against AMR.
- All countries should establish a national core multisectoral coordinating body for AMR with appropriate human and financial resources and mandate to engage relevant ministries with accountability, monitoring and reporting mechanisms.
-
Member States should formalize the standing Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR as a key coordinating mechanism of the global One Health response to AMR drawing on the mandates and roles of the Quadripartite and other relevant organizations in each sector.

The Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics (APUA) shares
‘Antibiotic cards’ for Human Health
These antibiotic cards have been primarily designed to assist human health prescribers in the selection of the most appropriate antibiotic, with optimal dosages, and to provide guidance to those who take care of patientsreceiving antibiotics. Produced by members of the APUA board and colleagues with no support from the pharmaceutical industry, the cards are available free of charge. They share a common design, with a special focus on their antimicrobial spectrum, main indications, dosing, and adverse events and have already been downloaded over 10,000 times from countries all around the world. It is hoped that these antibiotic cards will contribute to better [human health] use of antibiotics worldwide. Download the cards for free:
https://apua.org/antibiotic-cards
[Cards such as this have not been developed for animals as there are many different species (cows/buffalo, swine, poultry, goat, sheep, salmon, cats, dogs, horses, camelids) and many evolving diseases, making such an operation too unwieldy. For some 70 years www.merckvetmanual.com/ has been widely consulted by veterinarians for guidance. Some larger veterinary organizations also provide recommendations on dosage and indications. Additionally, the https://www.discontools.eu/ database is useful. https://tinyurl.com/3pzpt885 ]

Re-Treating Pandemic
April 17, 2024
Authors: Pannenborg O, Seifman R
In: Journal of Global and Public One Health
The current final stage negotiations for a new pandemic treaty are moving towards a dead-end situation. Concerns of national sovereignty are dominating today’s pandemic negotiations. In this situation there are two lower-level approaches and a third option:
- Build on and expand the technical pandemic systems,
- Regionalize pandemic alert and control systems
- Establish a tri-partite pandemic agency
The authors propose a regionalization of the pandemic treaty structure. JGPOH 2024. Posted: 17/04/2024,

How to avoid human-made pandemics
April 10, 2024
Author: Filippa Lentzos, Jens H. Kuhn
In: Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
….Most viral disease outbreaks stretching back over millennia have been caused by viruses transmitted to humans through direct or indirect contact with other animals. Our increasing encroachment on the natural environment and climate-driven changes in ecosystems are likely creating more opportunities (or even pressure) for potential pandemic viruses to spill over into novel animal hosts, including humans, now than in the past……In 2022, the task force was convened by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists to analyze the trends and oversight of high-risk research on pathogens. The goal was to identify ways and means for research with pandemic risk to be managed as safely, securely, and responsibly as possible. https://tinyurl.com/yx6b9xve

On the Verge of a Possible Avian Flu Pandemic
April 5, 2024
Author: Richard Seifman In: IMPAKTER
Another “zoonotic” crossover with human illness and fatality? …Self-interest must have us better prioritize the interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, and environmental well-being. Much work has already been done, both in developing the evidence base and in identifying the approach to move forward…..Quadripartite Plan of Action plus the considerations in the last Pandemic Agreement draft document that is available to us — including an explicit article on One Health — suggests heightened recognition and attention by countries, regions, international organizations, scientists, civil society, the private sector, and communities to look beyond explicit human medical challenges and underlying root causes…. This may be wishful thinking, but we will know more in the next few months if such apparent awareness is translated into concrete commitment and actions. https://tinyurl.com/427rf6c4

How do we halt the next pandemic? Be kind to critters like bats, says a new paper
March 26, 2024
Author: Ari Daniel In: NPR’s Goats and Soda and Heard on NPR’s All Things Considered
“….the paper demonstrates the importance of proposing solutions based on the whole ecosystem at once. It's something public health researchers call the One Health approach.”
- Protect where and what animals eat: Stable food sources mean bats will be less likely to resort to scouring human environments.
- Protect animal habitats: Safeguarding caves and canopies where bats congregate can buffer against human encounters and reduce stress that can lead to viral shedding.
- Protect people at risk: Communities who have contact with wildlife as part of their culture or vocation need extra training and adequate gear like masks and PPE.

The Pandemic Agreement Draft:
Will It Fully Embrace One Health?
March 25, 2024
Author: Richard Seifman In: IMPAKTER
Animal health, biodiversity, ecological, environmental and plant health are key to addressing existing and future infectious disease risks. The current Pandemic Treaty drafting process is a unique opportunity to globally fully integrate animal health, biodiversity preservation, ecological, environmental, and plant health, i.e., “One Health,” as a priority.

Author: Mariana Mazzucato In: Project Syndicate
As countries cavil over specific clauses in a draft pandemic treaty, there is good reason to fear that the document will be whittled down so much that it becomes useless. To ensure success, negotiators must heed the lessons of the COVID-19 crisis, and stay focused on the overarching goal: preventing or minimizing outbreaks. https://tinyurl.com/3hbpccxs

Dengue Fever: Not Getting Many Headlines,
But It Should
March 7, 2024
Author: Richard Seifman In: IMPAKTER
An old “One Health” disease is breaking out in new places and requires attention….It is a zoonotic disease, one that spreads from an animal to humans and is exacerbated by global warming. This happens as a result of both the disease spreading in new areas and lasting for longer periods than before. It encapsulates the One Health concept, confirming yet again the linkages between animals, humans, plants, and environmental health. https://tinyurl.com/yvdb23u2

What Scientists Are Learning about Women’s Health
from Other Female Animals
March 1, 2023
Author: Barbara Natterson-Horowitz In: Scientific American
Evolved adaptations of female animals could help solve women’s health challenges. “I wanted to call attention to the connections between women and other female animals…..Given the importance of female health challenges such as pregnancy to the survival of a species—including our own—shouldn't the realities of female life in the wild be more than an afterthought for doctors and biomedical researchers?..I've become fascinated by how females of other species have adapted to [these] challenges. I now study their biology to find possible solutions to women's health issues ranging from heart failure to breast cancer. This field of research is still emerging, but already it is generating insights that could lead to lifesaving treatments for some of the most prevalent human health concerns…”https://tinyurl.com/3w432pjk

Animals as Sentinels of Environmental Health Hazards
National Research Council. 1991. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press. https://doi.org/10.17226/1351
This book presents an overview of animal-monitoring programs, including detailed case studies of how animal health problems—such as the effects of DDT on wild bird populations—have led researchers to the sources of human health hazards. The authors examine the components and characteristics required for an effective animal-monitoring program, and they evaluate numerous existing programs, including in situ research, where an animal is placed in a natural setting for monitoring purposes. https://tinyurl.com/3dp5kkv3

Canine maps predict Lyme disease risk
better than the CDC does
August 24, 2017
Author: Lorrain Johnson, JD, MBA On: LymeDisease.org website
Dogs are considered a good gauge of the exposure of their human owners to infected ticks because they usually share the same environment and visit the same outdoor areas. In other words, canines are considered to be sentinel indicators of Lyme disease risk for humans. Not all dogs who test positive for Lyme antibodies are ill. However, they have been exposed to the Lyme disease bacteria. https://tinyurl.com/4r9ar8mw

The need to take a One Health Approach to Chagas Disease, a Neglected Tropical Disease
Over 300,000 people live with Chagas disease in the US, but very few people have been tested and treated. In Gainesville, Florida, a group of scientists and doctors led by Dr Norm Beatty at the University of Florida are trying to end the neglect of this parasitic killer. They have found the parasite in local kissing bugs and local animals and are concerned that it is not being addressed. This short film shows how neglected diseases all over the world can be fueled by climate change, migration, and increased human-animal interaction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTdIYOLozFk

Pathways Europe 2024 - Human Dimensions of Wildlife:
Theme - Revisiting What is Wild for Coexisting
9:00 CEST
Cordoba, Spain. Registration is now open! Cohosted by the Institute for Advanced Social Studies - Spanish Research Council (IESA-CSIC), the University of Córdoba, and the Department of Human Dimensions of Natural Resources at Colorado State University. The concept of “wild” often refers to elements of nature that remain untamed and unaltered by human intervention. Some argue that in today’s interconnected world, true wild, untouched by human influence, is exceedingly rare or perhaps even nonexistent. In this human-dominated, Anthropocene era, new challenges and new debates arise as to what is wild and what is natural. http://tinyurl.com/3d5byt4s

April 16, 2024 Webinar
One Health and Animal Research:
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Speaker Jerrold Tannenbaum. This webinar described the crucial role laboratory animal research played in the development of the concept of One Medicine, the historical precursor of One Health. The discussion reviewed differing approaches to One Health and discussed how biomedical animal research can be an important component of some of these approaches. The webinar also highlighted current approaches to One Health that provide challenges to laboratory animal research. These include the increasing use of privately owned animals, mainly pet cats and dogs, in clinical studies and trials. Of greater concern are approaches to One Health that diminish the importance of human and animal research that benefits human health; would require the diversion of critical resources away from animal research; incorporate concepts of “health” (such as environmental health, ecosystem health, or planetary health) that are unhelpful and may be incoherent; and include societal or geopolitical considerations that have no clear connection to science-driven biomedical research. The webinar examined how the biomedical research community can recognize, and counter approaches to One Health that are inimical to or threaten animal research. The discussion suggested ways the community can support and engage in approaches to One Health that appropriately benefit people, animals, and the environment.
