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.

Reminder
Working toward a world better able to prevent, predict, detect, and respond to health threats and improve the health of humans, animals, plants, and the environment while contributing to sustainable development.
To help achieve these aims in a comprehensive, systematic and sustainable way in keeping with the underlying principles of the One Health approach, OHHLEP has developed an over-arching, 25 page Theory of Change (ToC) document in addition to the One Health definition that it previously released in December, 2021. This ToC was included in the Quadripartite One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA). It is designed to guide OHHLEP’s own work and that of the Quadripartite as well as providing a conceptual framework for other organizations, agencies and initiatives working towards similar One Health goals. https://tinyurl.com/OHHLEP-ToC

de Castañeda RR, Viller J, Guzmán CAF, Eslanloo T, de Paula N, Machalaba C, Zinsstag J, Flahault A, Bolon I, The Lancet, Vol 7, Issue 2, Feb 2023, https://doi.org/10.1016/S2542-5196(23)00002-5
"..... Animal health, specifically zoonoses (eg antimicrobial resistance and emerging infectious diseases), remains the most prominent One Health research field, whereas planetary health research does not address animal health. Planetary health focuses more on the environment, particularly climate change and human health, and on social determinants of human health. Yet climate change is not unique to planetary health research, and we observe increasing overlaps with the broadening of One Health.....These overlaps can generate confusion, and it would be helpful to further clarify the relative focus of One Health and planetary health research, mainly because they often involve different disciplines and communities……Yet this diversity should not be a reason to diverge or compete but to collaborate.....Overall, One Health and planetary health are highly complementary fields of scientific inquiry with solid leverage for translation into policy and practice. There is an opportunity to build a stronger research community and transdisciplinary evidence to collectively address pressing public and global health issues in a truly integrated way……Above all, life on Earth is at risk, and our diversity will only make us stronger."

December 2022 U.S. Senator Gillibrand Introduced a ground breaking One Health Bill that would create a U.S. One Health Security Council charged with preventing, detecting and responding to biological threats that significantly impact U.S. national health, economy, and security.
The Act includes:
1. One Health Security Council
A new Deputy National Security Advisor would lead a One Health Security Council within the Executive Office of the President responsible for coordinating whole-of-government One Health Security-related activities.
2. One Health Security Strategy
The One Health Security Council would develop a strategy that would advise the President with respect to the integration of domestic, foreign, and military policies relating to One Health Security to enable Federal agencies to cooperate more effectively.
3. One Health Security Activities
The One Health Security Council would recommend funding allocation for activities critical to improving our biodefense and ability to defend against natural, human-generated and accidental biological events.

Because zoonoses emerge from the dynamic confluence of people, animals and their products, environment, agriculture, wildlife, vectors, food, water, antimicrobial use, and changing ecosystems, experts and organizations must rethink and reimagine ways to integrate and coordinate their actions. These include adopting systems thinking, committing new investments in prevention, improving public and animal health infrastructures and associated surveillance systems globally, expanding human capacity and skills, and merging communities and resources across the domains of One Health.

Launched by faculty of the University of Maryland School of Public Health and of several academic institutions in Egypt. The UMOHN intends to remove barriers to implementing a successful One Health framework in countries (fragmented governance of human and animal health and the environment; lack of education and training in the One Health approach; siloed sectors that do historically work together) through capacity building. The UMOHN will deliver capacity building activities (such as One Health core competency framework development, training and education, human resource development, implementation framework development, multi sector collaboration, and policy formulation) to prepare countries for successful One Health implementation and set Middle Eastern countries up for success when implementing the One Health framework. See short documentary (in Arabic) about FAO-Egypt Emergency Centre for Transboundary Animal Diseases (ECTAD) work in Egypt combating diseases that emerge from animals and spillover to humans by fostering multi-sectoral collaborations. https://bit.ly/3HhBqFA

One Health called by name 10 times in this document, along with planetary health. This paper was prepared by the U Toronto Centre for Global Health Dalla Lana School of Public Health to inform a coherent global health strategy for Canada.……. Interviewed experts pointed to the vast body of holistic health knowledge of Indigenous communities, acknowledging that Indigenous Ways of Knowing are exemplary yet are not currently legitimized in decision-making..... interviewed experts suggested that such a holistic approach to health be led by Indigenous leaders. However, literature cautions the application of a Western framework (i.e., a One Health or planetary health approach) to Indigenous Teachings, as they are fundamentally distinct and may itself be a form of modern colonization. Therefore, this approach advocates for Indigenous leaders to be invited to lead, or participate, in whichever capacity they chose, in the design and implementation of culturally-safe and appropriate solutions (whether that be via a One Health approach, or an Indigenous-led approach to healing). https://bit.ly/3YalADN

….”The One Health approach (bridging the Animal-Environmental-Human Health interface) has rapidly gained political and financial support, particularly in regional and transcontinental initiatives to improve Global Health Security…... This four-paper Lancet Series explores the adoption of One Health approaches to improve health security and includes an analysis of the current landscape of preventive, surveillance, and response measures in outbreak situations of emerging and re-emerging zoonotic infectious diseases with epidemic potential as well as other potential public health emergencies such as neglected endemic diseases, antimicrobial resistance, environmental and chemical hazards and natural disasters.”

Challenges and successes of One Health in the context of planetary health in Latin America and the Caribbean
20 Articles, 136 Authors,
Editors: Pettan-Brewar C, Figueroa D, Kahn L, Martins A, Cediel N, Welker Biondo A
One Health is applied in practice in Latin American and Caribbean countries every day, especially in less developed and impoverished rural and urban areas where there is a lack of professional and medical resources. For example, local communities have worked together with institutions through grass root movements in the prevention and control of rabies, leishmaniosis, Chagas disease, hanseniasis, borreliosis and co-infections, parasitic diseases, and other neglected and emerging infectious diseases. In Latin American and Caribbean countries, practice is likely to precede conceptual understanding of scientific approaches. These bottom-up community approaches are applied to disease prevention and control and are discussed in this Research Topic.

Even after Delta became the dominant variant in humans, Alpha and Gamma continued to circulate in white-tailed deer, according to new research. The finding not only raises concerns that deer could be a source of new coronavirus variants that could spread back to people; it also raises the possibility that the virus might evolve in ways that pose a greater risk to wild animals, he added.... The study highlights the need for ongoing surveillance of wild deer populations. https://nyti.ms/3RBADUA

“……spillover and outbreaks are inevitable, but pandemics are not. Humanity’s greatest task now, therefore, is to do everything possible to sever the link between the former and the latter. It is a task made easier than ever by modern science, yet also one that requires crucial elements sorely lacking in the age of COVID-19—speed, cooperation, and trust.......one thing no amount of money can cure is a lack of trust. The pandemic laid bare the mistrust among countries, with some governments concealing data and others hoarding vaccines. And it exposed the mistrust between populations and their own public health officials, with tensions erupting over mask mandates, school closures, and vaccinations. Trust is the difference between calling a hotline and choosing not to, between sharing information internationally and hiding it, between following quarantine rules and flouting them, and between sharing vaccines and hoarding them. Without trust, even the best public health policies will fail. It is this human element that will, above all, determine whether the world can use modernity’s gift of science to stave off catastrophe.” https://fam.ag/3j8zFCI

In this article, Jakob Zinsstag provides a brief overview. …A One Health perspective encompasses reflections on human and animal well-being per se. Humans have rights and are seeking to maximise their well-being; similarly, one might ask whether animals have rights, and if so, how should we consider their well-being?

Newly recognized Role of the Environment in Antimicrobial Resistance
May 16, 2022
Author: Allison Parshall In: Scientific American
People are infected by bacteria that, after contacting heavy metals, develop drug-resistant traits. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria killed roughly 1.27 million people in 2019, according to the most recent worldwide analysis…..But antibiotic resistance also has a lesser-known source: heavy metals such as lead, mercury and silver. The metals are found all over because of human industries such as mining and transportation. Bacteria in these surroundings have evolved abilities to protect themselves from the toxic effects of the metals, and these same traits often help them fight off antibiotics, according to studies in the environment, animals and—recently—in people………adds antibiotic-resistant bacteria to the list of harms visited upon people without much money or social resources, usually members of minority groups, who are most likely to live in these lead-contaminated areas. “It’s really an environmental justice issue." The link between heavy metals and antibiotic resistance illustrates why, to understand global health, “you don’t just look at human health or veterinary health or the environment as separate things,” Vos says. “Everything is connected.” https://bit.ly/3DJQNFI

Author: George Lueddeke In: IMPAKTER
….Our greatest challenge as a species is to adopt a new mindset / mental models that shift our thinking, policies, and strategies from human-centrism (it’s all about us) to eco-centrism: it’s about all species and the environment and the sustainability of the planet. …This pressing paradigm shift ...... is encapsulated in the concept called One Health (& Wellbeing - OHW) that recognises the critical interdependence of humans, animals, plants in a shared environment.
https://tinyurl.com/3h8wn38h
Recommendations:
- Restructure the composition of the United Nations Security Council
- Adopt the One Health & Wellbeing concept/approach and establish a UN One Health and Wellbeing Sustainability Council with a strong Youth voice
- Promote the OHW concept and the UN SDGs at academic, government, and at all societal levels across all global regions

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.

March 8, 2023 Webinar
Hosted by the US Smithsonian Museum of Natural History OUTBREAK Exhibit Shared Planet Shared Health webinar series. Hendra virus spreads from flying foxes, to horses, and sometimes from horses to humans. The ecology of this transmission route involves an intricate interplay between the environment, bats, horses and humans that has fascinated researchers since the virus was first characterized in 1994. Our understanding of when and why Hendra outbreaks occur has become clearer, and provides insights into how preserving bat habitats can reduce infections in horses and humans. Wildlife disease ecologist Alison Peel will discuss the dynamics of Hendra virus spillover and share some intriguing new research with big implications for how caring for the environment could help prevent disease spillovers on our shared planet.
Free but you must Register. https://s.si.edu/3RnWjDq

WHO Webinar Series on Trust
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted trust as an important determinant of successful pandemic response and leadership; a prerequisite for the uptake of interventions and behaviour change among communities; and a contributing factor in community resilience. In this series of webinars discussants will "unpack" some of the dimensions of trust in the context of epidemics and pandemics. The first webinar in the series will review the lessons learned at the intersection of trust and different responses to health emergencies including HIV, Ebola and COVID-19. The webinar can be viewed post-event on the EPI-WIN YouTube channel. https://bit.ly/3HNxNII

This edited volume examines the complex entanglements of human, animal, and environmental health. It assembles leading scholars from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and medicine to explore existing One Health approaches and to envision a mode of health that is both more-than-human and also more sensitive to, and explicit about, colonial and neocolonial legacies—urging the decolonization of One Health.

Coming soon!
By veterinary disease ecologist Leslie Reperant, published by Johns Hopkins University Press to be released 21 March 2023.
This book is a journey, by leaps and bounds around the world and through time, to examine the extraordinary circumstances—evolutionary, ecological, and otherwise— that converged and gave birth to some of our most wicked and unexpected plagues and pandemics. Beyond the traditional historical account of human infectious diseases, this book unveils commonalities and coincidences that, throughout the ages, consistently preceded or triggered the emergence of new infectious diseases or the flare-ups of old ones. The pace of disease emergence is accelerating. The journey teaches us the One Health responses and solutions humanity must unfailingly apply to curb the rise of future plagues and pandemics. One Health Day 2022 marked the countdown to the launch of Fatal Jump. https://tinyurl.com/khsdzcp7

These two books exemplify our ‘siloed’ systems and way of thinking; they address impacts of climate change on humans and animals ‘separately’. That is not how it will work:
By: Jay Lemery and Paul Auerbach
Since this book is about Climate Change and ‘human’ health (only), it is not really a One Health-focused book. However, it is relevant to the One Health conversation. The global environment is under massive stress from centuries of human industrialization. The projections regarding climate change for the next century and beyond are grim. The impact this will have on human health is tremendous, and we are only just now discovering what the long-term outcomes may be. This book addresses the human health oversight and enlightens readers about the most important aspect of one of the greatest challenges of our time. By weighing in from a physician’s perspective, Jay Lemery and Paul Auerbach clarify the science, dispel the myths, and help readers understand the threats of climate change to human health. https://www.enviromedics.org/

|
By: Craig Stephen and Colleen Duncan
This book appears to take a more One Health approach. After introducing animal health in a climate change context, the chapters of this book look at specific animal health impacts arising from climate change. It was written amid the COVID-19 pandemic and in the face of ever-increasing reports of on-the-ground, real-life climate impacts. Large scale wildfire and ocean heat waves have killed unprecedented numbers of animals, while droughts in some areas and floods in others displaced thousands of livestock and made food scarce for even more. Climate change is real, and it is here. How we respond will have profound implications for people, biodiversity, welfare, conservation, societies, economies, and ecosystems. The book concludes with suggestions on teachable and actionable ideas that could be used to mobilize concepts provided into education or advocacy. https://tinyurl.com/unexmaf7
