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.

UN General Assembly (UNGA)
Embracing One Health
This Resolution calls upon the WHO, FAO, WOAH and UNEP to build on and strengthen their existing cooperation, and to develop options, for consideration by their respective governing bodies, to establish a common strategy, including a joint workplan on One Health, taking into account input from relevant stakeholders, including the One Health High-Level Expert Panel, as appropriate, to improve the prevention, monitoring, detection, control and containment of zoonotic diseases, threats to health and ecosystems, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance, and future health emergencies, by fostering cooperation and a coordinated approach between the human health, animal health and plant health sectors, environmental and other relevant sectors, and urges Member States to adopt an all-hazard, multisectoral and coordinated approach to prevention, preparedness and response for health emergencies, in the context of the One Health approach;
On September 2, 2022 the UNGA passed Resolution A/76/L.76%20 calling for the 78th UN General Assembly (2023) to hold a special High Level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response. One Health is mentioned and described in the Resolution.
“Recognizing the need to strengthen epidemic prevention by sharing experience and best practices, and to raise the level of preparedness, including early warning systems, in order to have the earliest and most adequate response to any epidemic that may arise, and recognizing also the value of an integrated One Health approach that fosters cooperation between the human health, animal health and plant health, as well as environmental and other relevant sectors,..”
WHO will be responsible for the High Level meeting preparations and will, hopefully, fairly and fully engage its One Health Quadripartite partners and the Global One Health Community. Contact ‘your’ Government point person’s to assure adequate attention to One Health concepts at that High Level Meeting.

Instead of playing whack-a-mole with each new zoonosis that emerges from animals to humans, we need to be strategic and prevent them from happening in the first place. To do this, we must recognize the crucial interface of human health with animal health and environmental factors. The “One Health” concept recognizes these inextricable linkages.

“The existing Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GBMB) should be expanded to cover prevention and serve as the external assessor of the new WorldBank/WHO Financial Intermediary Fund performance……Since its establishment, the GPMB has focused on its explicit mandate. Although mentioned in overview statements, “prevention” has not been a subject of its in-depth deliberations…….In recent G7 and G20 meetings, there has been greater awareness and support for doing so, with the endorsement of a “One Health” approach, one which considers the human, animal, plant, and the ecosystem interface as the most effective and sustainable route to wellbeing.” https://tinyurl.com/2yysspxx

Preventing Pandemics at the Source

September 5, 2022
Authors: Neil M. Vora and Nigel Sizer In: The Hill
…….”underscores the limitations of the current paradigm favored by the public health sector to address infectious diseases after they’ve emerged rather than preventing them in the first place……The bad news is that influential voices don’t seem that interested in preventing the root causes behind the rise in epidemics and pandemics. In June, the [Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response and its Secretariat] advised the World Bank that investing in prevention could “sap resources from achieving the goals of rapid identification and containment of pandemic threats that will remain inevitable despite vast resources spent in pursuit of prevention.” In making this argument, the panel ignores the science. Most pathogens that cause emerging infectious diseases (including SARS-CoV-2 and monkeypox virus) originate in animals and then spill over into people. Pandemics, and the outbreaks that lead to them, however, can be prevented through actions to reduce risk of spillover such as stopping deforestation and regulating wildlife trade.” https://tinyurl.com/mvcp8j7j

Conspicuous by its absence, One Health was not included and the word ‘animals’ appears only twice in that plan.

“Deer, white-footed mice, disappearing predators, encroaching humans, fragmented forest—they all have a role in the Lyme disease system. And there’s another force at work, one that can never be ignored these days: climate change………..tick larvae and nymphs are initiating their search for blood meals about a week and a half earlier each year because of the warming climate. That means ticks are increasingly active in early May, and humans should be prepared to protect themselves earlier than ever before. Climate change may also be contributing to the expanding range of black-legged ticks, especially to the north. And as Ostfeld has stated in interviews with other publications, it is likely doing the same for the white-footed mouse population, which is expanding its geographic range in the Midwest and in Canada, providing a host for the Lyme pathogen further north.” https://bit.ly/3ebWnqI

A new animal virus that can infect people has been identified in eastern China. The virus, named Langya henipavirus (LayV), can cause respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and fatigue, and is closely related to two other henipaviruses known to infect people — Hendra virus and Nipah virus. Researchers think LayV is carried by shrews, which might have infected people directly or through an intermediate animal. https://go.nature.com/3e9kjdZ

January 2022 World Medical Journal Article,
See pp. 37 - 39
Since the World Health Organization reported that 12.6 million annual deaths are linked to living and working in unhealthy environments, the One Health concept offers a holistic view of the delicate balance of humans, animals, and the environment Understanding these risks will be key to achieving optimal health indicators by the Ministries of Health as well as the indicators and targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development……. In this article, physicians from the Dominican Republic, Germany, Nigeria, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States offered insight and shared their ongoing activities about the World Health Day 2022 celebrations. The article concludes with these words… “Together, as National Medical Associations and individual World Medical Association (WMA) members, we must support the One Health concept and organize initiatives – like World Health Day – that leverage expertise and promote shared knowledge about emerging health risks across our global communities.”

June 2022
Established by the President of the Royal Society of Canada in April 2020, the RSC Task Force on COVID-19 was mandated to provide evidence-informed perspectives on major societal challenges in response to and recovery from COVID-19. The Task Force established a series of Working Groups to rapidly develop Policy Briefings, with the objective of supporting policy makers with evidence to inform their decisions.
-
Overview: Given the enormous global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, greatly exacerbated by the intra-pandemic emergence of novel variants of concern (VOCs), and multiple, ongoing outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in Canada (Canadian Food Inspection Agency, 2022), there is a pressing need for a deeper understanding of the interface where humans and other animals interact in their shared environment, and the intersecting biological, ecological, and socioecological factors contributing to the emergence, spread, and impact of zoonotic diseases.

- 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.

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 will consider the strengths and lessons learned from existing activities focused on the integration of public health and Nature research and will explore how we can advance integration through new and emerging cross-cutting research areas to develop solutions that inform policy and practice while promoting equity, justice, and resilience.

Hosted by the Joint Programming Initiative on Antimicrobial Resistance (JPIAMR) One Health AMR group. The JPIAMR coordinates national research funding and supports collaborative action for filling knowledge gaps on AMR with a One Health perspective. The development of resistance to antibiotics is a biological process, but the context that determines emergence and impact of resistance is underpinned by social aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to identify, understand and evaluate these social aspects to enable the prevention and control of AMR. There is a need for clearer descriptions of how different social scientific fields – economics, political science, ethics, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and law – could deepen the understanding of the AMR issue, and also the value from particular methods such as interviews or ethnography. bit.ly/3zDXaZM

- What scientific strategies were successful?
- What scientific strategies could be improved?
- What will the next pandemic look like?
- What research will facilitate identification of the next pandemic?
- What needs to be done to prepare for possible pathogens, including unexpected or re-emerging pathogens (e.g., AMR)
- What can be done in advance of the next pandemic?
- What are the scientific and research gaps? And how can they be met?
- How can scientific and research findings facilitate vaccine and therapeutic development?
- How can other approaches facilitate response to a future pandemic?

August 30 and 31, 2022
Organized by Pandemic Action Network, the Center for Indonesia’s Strategic Development Initiatives (CISDI), the Eastern Africa National Networks of AIDS Service Organisations (EANNASO), and WACI Health. Two sessions were held to engage partners from multiple geographies and in multiple languages. For this new FIF to be successful and sustainable — and achieve its transformative promise to make the world safer from pandemics — there must be an inclusive approach to the current design process, which is moving swiftly. CSOs must have room to inform the design, governance, priorities, and stand-up process. CSOs and low- and middle-income countries should be co-creators and decision-makers at every step of the design and operation in order to ensure its success. The August 31 session saw over 165 attendees. Fifteen chat comments referred to One Health with the moderator repeating one of them to the group. https://tinyurl.com/2p8uek2z
See the Initial Summary of Proceedings and Key Messages that was shared with the FIF Interim Secretariat and founding contributors. Recordings of the Aug. 30 and Aug. 31 sessions are available. It is hoped that this consultation process can pave the way for meaningful engagement and leadership of civil society, including civil society engagement in current design processes as well as over the longer term. Stay tuned for updated information and resources on the Global Pandemic Fund Action Hub.

August 29-31, 2022 In-Person Symposium
2nd International Ocean Health Symposium on Emerging Marine Diseases, Regulating Functions and Governance Implications
Kiel, Germany. Hosted by Kiel Marine Science at Kiel University and GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel. A broad range of disciplines were invited to exchange their views on ocean disease, ocean health, and related governance to articulate one ocean health perspective and its connection with the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development project “Beyond One Ocean Health.” The Ocean Health Symposium explored the interdependencies of ocean disease, extreme events and the overall integrity of ocean ecosystems. Extreme events such as heat waves are increasing disease outbreaks with consequences on ocean ecosystem functioning, while many of the emerging pathogens are still unknown.

July 11-13, 2022
Omaha, Nebraska, USA at the National Ebola Training and Education Center. Hosted since 2019 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), Galveston, and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, this educational course targets multiple disciplines working with clinical research trials conducted in barrier nursing environments. The curriculum implements problem-based learning techniques with asynchronous and synchronous learning to encourage researchers and regulators to cross-educate each other on the challenges related to the conduct of regulated studies in biological safety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories and barrier nursing environments and to identify solutions that are acceptable from scientific and regulatory perspectives. The intent is to ensure a better prepared, cohesive community of clinical, scientific, and regulatory experts mutually engaged in, and committed to, the research, development, and regulatory evaluation and approval of medical countermeasures for high consequence pathogens. Free for both national and international attendees. In this year’s course Dr. Dennis Bente explained how UTMB uses the "One Health Initiative" and how collaboration of the scientific, veterinary, medical, social, and environmental disciplines intersect when responding to an outbreak. He also discussed implications of the One Health approach for achieving optimal health outcomes. More information about the course program can be accessed at https://bit.ly/3AOgxjg

What does a real doctor look like? Dr. Cherice Roth has some thoughts on that. Enough thoughts, in fact, that the Oregon-based veterinarian has written two children’s books that tackle stereotypes about the medical profession with humor, hugs and a wagging tail or two. https://tinyurl.com/urtbaym6
