A great OH story -
Bees may save the day..... if we can save 'them' !!!
Scientists in the Netherlands have trained bees to identify COVID-19 through their sense of smell, according to a press release from Wageningen University. Certain animals could be useful for identifying COVID-19 in places or countries in which high-tech laboratory equipment is scarce or inaccessible. https://tinyurl.com/y7j5vb75

“Perhaps the One Health approach has in the past been dominated by medical and veterinary professions,” said Keith Sumpton, a veterinarian and leader of the Animal Health Program at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N (FAO). “I recognize this needs to change. The One Health approach needs to engage and receive the contributions of natural resource management professionals working in ecosystems, biodiversity and wildlife management.” https://tinyurl.com/c9zzv9ux

Everything is interconnected in our One Health world
By Vanda Felbab-Brown and Catherine Semcer, In: The Hill
The immense COVID-19 tragedy unfolding in India is yet another wake-up for the need to address the underlying causes of zoonotic diseases and enhance their prevention, through conservation, not merely focus on public health and economic mitigation measures.

This new coalition and initiative advocates for investment in animal health systems to protect animals and people, and prevent the next pandemic. A ‘Call-to-Action’ to governments and international agencies will be extended at this event to prioritise strong animal health systems as part of operationalising One Health and to support attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good health and wellbeing). Keynote speakers at the launch event: Professor David Heymann, Distinguished Fellow at Chatham House, Pauline Mulunda and Violet Natembey, farmers in Kenya working with Send a Cow. Moderated by Katie Husselby, Action for Global Health. This energetic and informative event provided insights into the importance of putting One Health into practice. More information.

The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) has launched a series of briefs highlighting seven key areas and 22 practical action areas that governments, investors, experts in One Health and policymakers can promote and invest in. These areas highlight the linkages and connections between interventions and underscore the need for systems thinking. Over the coming months, experts and researchers will be reviewing the evidence and experiences in these seven areas to produce a One Health investment report with the potential to enhance global health security if fully implemented.

Call for Papers
Special Issue in the journal Pathogens
Guest Editor Lauren Charles, DVM, PhD
Pathogens is an international, open access journal published monthly online by MDPI. It is covered by PubMed (PMC), Scopus, and SCIE. Biosurveillance is the process of gathering, integrating, analyzing, interpreting, and communicating essential information related to disease activity or other threats (e.g., chemicals) to human, animal, and plant health. Biosurveillance can take many forms, from sample collection and analysis to digital detection and syndromic surveillance to collaboration efforts across governments, stakeholders, and medical professionals. This special issue will focus on more effective early warning, early detection, and overall situational awareness of threats to the health of humans, animals, and/or plants. Deadline for manuscript July 31, 2021. More information https://tinyurl.com/mt84ysx7

One Health featured in Three ‘Frontiers In’
Special Issue Research Topic
|
|
1.Frontiers in Public Health, Planetary Health Section
What does One Health entail, or rather, what can it entail? Are there imperatives to a One Health approach that are imposed by the complexity of the challenges? How can we take into account the decolonizing perspectives regarding One Health? What are the key benefits and challenges of creating or strengthening the essential third pillar of One Health (and integrative nature – human health approaches and concepts)? Frontiers’ Research Topics are peer-reviewed article collections around cutting-edge research themes. Defined, managed and led by renowned researchers, they unite the world’s leading experts around the hottest topics, stimulating collaboration and accelerating science. Papers are invited on One Health complexity challenges. July 10 submission deadline. https://bit.ly/3s8ejUE
|
|
With this Research Topic the editors aim to bridge the language and economic barriers that remain in the dissemination of One Health, EcoHealth and Planetary Health approaches in Latin American and Caribbean. Sharing One Health approaches in this gobal region is essential to influence scientific priorities, support public policies and decision-making at national and global levels. Submission may now be closed but could possibly be extended if you have an article. Contact kcpb@uw.edu

The World Health Assembly is the forum through which the World Health Organization (WHO) is governed by its 194 member states. It is the world's highest health policy setting body and is composed of health ministers from member states. In order to strengthen the capacity of countries to address priority infectious diseases, including zoonoses, and to build synergies between human and animal health systems, the WHO and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) jointly conduct national workshops to encourage and facilitate a “One Health” approach to managing animal and zoonotic infectious diseases. See: WHO and OIE One Health Integration: WHO IHR – OIE PVS National Bridging Workshops

If policymakers fail to address the challenge of antimicrobial resistance they risk seeing the rise of a silent pandemic, write Stella Kyriakides and Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Stella Kyriakides is the European Commissioner for Health and Food Safety; Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is the Director-General of the World Health Organisation. The greatest threats facing us – from climate change to the rise of antimicrobial resistance – are shared ones. They are also interconnected. We must face them together, with each country strengthening their national response but doing so in concert with one another. https://tinyurl.com/swmsvvn6

Neglected One Health Issues |
|
Author: Katie Burns In: JAVMA News
Dr. Lucero, the small animal veterinarian with Bartonella and Babesia infections, said: “Preventing these infections is a better option than trying to treat them. A one-health approach to this is focusing on flea and tick prevention for animals and seeking care from knowledgeable providers when exposure does happen. Bartonella and Babesia can be a much bigger problem in healthier individuals than originally thought, and further research and investigation is needed. Like SARS-CoV-2, we are still in the process of figuring everything out.” https://tinyurl.com/6kjv56ht

- How emerging environmental exposure assessment tools could help identify and monitor critical pathways for exposure to infectious agents
- How recent advances in climate and environmental health modeling techniques could be applied to predict transmission dynamics and provide early warning of emerging infectious disease outbreaks.
- How data integration and emerging analytical tools can enable collaborations.

WHO Webinar Marking International Day
for Biological Diversity
The global environment is changing, and these changes have profound and negative impacts on nature – from a worldwide reduction in biodiversity and destruction of natural habitats to human use of about half of the planet’s liveable surface to feed and provide resources for themselves. To mark the International Day for Biological Diversity, WHO Regional Office for Europe launched an overview report describing nature’s relevance to human well-being, and how depletion of natural resources can turn into threats for human health. Followed by moderated Q&A session on the need to prevent and reduce human impacts on nature. This work is being done in collaboration with the Federal Public Health Service and Sciensano.

Volunteer
Do you work in a small/mixed animal general or non-academic referral practice? The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking practices from across the US to participate in a study to better understand antibiotic prescribing for dogs and cats. Free continuing education will be provided to participants! This study's approach is modeled after CDC’s methodology to estimate national antibiotic use and healthcare-associated infections in hospitals and nursing homes (e.g., Pub Med ID 32519751, 30380384), exemplifying how similar methodology can be used across One Health disciplines.
