Animals are often sentinels for environmental conditions. If you're a pet parent living in the US, consider participating in the voluntaryNational Pet Health Survey to help researchers understand trends in pet health that might also harm people's health. Data from the National Pet Health Survey will be used in EPA’s online mapping tool, EnviroAtlas to allow states, local decision-makers (and you!) to examine trends. To learn more about this voluntary survey visit:

The ‘How’ of One Health Approaches.
Analogy by Olga Jonas, Economist, Harvard Global Health Institute. Read this then view the video link.
You'll 'get it'......
The necessary elements for One Health are:
- Leadership (a captain with authority, a course, wind data, and the means to steer)
- Defined task for each crew member (including watching what others are doing, as relevant)
- Crew members help each other (working across “sectors,” as relevant).
Without coordination, the boat they’re all in will lose the race. Or it may even sink if/when a storm emerges. Unfortunately, the emergence of novel zoonotic pathogens is also not “if,” but "when.”

The US National Academies’
One Health Action Collaborative
(OHAC)* is conducting an anonymous
online survey
(5-12 minutes,
http://bit.ly/2QaXXLC
) about One Health workers. Individuals who have studied or conducted work in the One Health arena are invited to participate. Responses will shed light on the usefulness / benefits of a One Health education and the potentially unique challenges that One Health workers face. Findings will be discussed / shared with the public through a manuscript authored by individuals of OHAC and will offer recommendations on strengthening the One Health workforce. Questions: contact jkmazet@ucdavis.edu.
*
The OHAC
is an ad hoc activity associated with the
Forum on Microbial Threats
at the US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. It brings together a community of experts who are interested in contributing to a detailed ongoing exploration and information sharing related to One Health topics and accelerating the implementation of a One Health approach in the field. The work of OHAC does not necessarily represent the views of any one organization, the Forum, or the National Academies and is not subjected to the review procedures of, nor are they a report or product of, the National Academies.

Antimicrobial Resistance:
A Quintessential One Health Challenge
http://bit.ly/2T2ZB0m
|
|
Addressing the rising threat of AMR requires a holistic and multisectoral (One Health) approach because antimicrobials used to treat various infectious diseases in animals may be the same or be similar to those used in humans. Resistant
bacteria
arising either in humans, animals or the environment may spread from one to the other, and from one country to another. AMR does not recognize geographic or human/animal borders.
http://bit.ly/2QzKvxP
|
|
See Events below. Since 2011 NIAA has hosted an annual
Antibiotics Symposium
bringing together US food animal producers, researchers, pharma and other stakeholders across professions in One Health conversations about antibiotic stewardship. See the
NIAA AMR video series

Spun-out as a new organization in 2018 from the Skoll Global Threats Fund,
Ending Pandemics
provides scientific, technical and financial support to find, verify, and quickly contain outbreaks in emerging disease hotspots. It applies technology, builds local capacity, and works across borders – both geographic and sectoral, because the only way to avert a pandemic threat is to take a One Health approach working with physicians, veterinarians,
government officials, environmentalists, and others. Among their many initiatives is PODD, the
Participatory One Health Digital Disease Detection
web and smartphone application for community members in Chiang Mai, Thailand to report unusual disease events in backyards, wild animals and humans.

Seeking examples of best practices
The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the Global Water Partnership for the Mediterranean (GWP-Med) are currently preparing a joint "Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus" publication in the form of a Nexus Atlas that will provide a spatial baseline analysis and projection of the interconnected water, energy and food requirements in the Mediterranean region, and their associated impacts on the environment. Interested parties are encouraged to suggest useful examples by completing the
'Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem Nexus – Best practice example' form
found at the bottom of this webpage (

Bronx, NY. Hosted by Einstein Global Health Center in collaboration with EcoHealth Alliance and the FutureEarth oneHealth Global Research Project. While the veterinary medical community, and increasingly the public health community, have led One Health efforts to date, the human medical community has had limited engagement in One Health with few avenues articulated in terms of practical implications, opportunities and benefits for involvement. Conference organizers believe that the One Health approach can be highly beneficial for the medical and global health communities in addressing infectious and non-infectious disease challenges.

Val Beasley, D.V.M., Ph.D., Dipl. A.B.V.T., Professor of Veterinary, Wildlife, and Ecological Toxicology, Pennsylvania State University. ‘One Toxicology’ is central to One Health. Mercury is an important pollutant today, and it’s probably going to become more important, at least in some locales. DDT devastated birds, but current insecticides poison them and their food webs. Halogenated flame retardants, they’re going to be with us for decades to come, and we’ll see what happens with some of the replacement chemicals. We need more diagnoses, more careful usage and disposal. And we certainly need more green chemistry.”
