Global veterinary and medical perspectives on one healthJess Vergis
This document discusses the concepts of One Health and the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It outlines how increased human population, urbanization, agricultural intensification, and encroachment into wildlife habitats have contributed to the emergence of zoonotic diseases. Over 60% of infectious diseases are zoonotic, with 71.8% originating from wildlife. The document then examines the historical foundations of comparative medicine and the development of veterinary science and its role in public health. It discusses how the One Health approach aims to address modern problems through cross-sectoral collaboration between medical, veterinary, and environmental professionals.
One-Health encompasses the interconnection between human, animal, plant, and environmental health. It recognizes that the health of each component is dependent on the others. The emergence of concepts like antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic diseases demonstrate this interdependence. Universities around the world, including over two dozen globally, offer courses in One Health at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral levels. These courses aim to assess public health threats by researching disease transmission among living things and their environments. The goal is to provide a foundation for understanding diseases in the context of sustainable systems and global health. Tools used include surveillance, epidemiology, and analysis of large electronic health datasets. However, One Health is still poorly implemented and understood in

One Health approaches: Genesis, implementation and best practicesILRI
The document discusses One Health approaches and their implementation. It provides the following key points:
1. One Health aims to achieve optimal health outcomes for humans, animals and the environment through cross-sectoral collaboration. It addresses challenges like zoonotic diseases which affect both human and animal health.
2. Implementing One Health in practice involves mapping disease burdens, ensuring food safety, and understanding barriers and enablers. The "unlucky 13" zoonoses cause billions of cases and millions of deaths annually.
3. There are significant economic benefits to controlling zoonotic diseases through a One Health approach compared to working in isolation. An estimated $137 billion in annual benefits could be gained from a
Brief introduction to the One Health concept, and beyondILRI
This document provides an introduction to the One Health concept and integrated approaches to health. It discusses how global changes like climate change, globalization, and intensification of animal production are linked to threats to human, animal, and environmental health. The One Health concept positions human health at the center and recognizes the connections between human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Integrated approaches to health are based on systems thinking, interdisciplinarity, participation, sustainability, and bringing knowledge to action. For regions in Eastern and Southern Africa, integrated approaches must consider diverse cultures and socio-ecological systems like extensive pastoral and agro-pastoral production systems and wildlife economies. Specific needs in these regions that have been identified include addressing urban
The One Health approach aims to achieve optimal health outcomes for people, animals, and the environment through collaboration across multiple disciplines. It recognizes that human, animal, and environmental health are interconnected. The concept originated in the 19th century from physicians who studied links between human and animal diseases. Today, a One Health approach is particularly relevant for issues like food safety, zoonotic disease control, and antibiotic resistance, which require cross-sector solutions. No single group can prevent problems that arise at the human-animal-environment interface. Implementing One Health requires cooperation among professionals in public health, animal health, and related fields across local to global levels.
The One Health Center aims to improve global health through an integrated approach addressing connections between human, animal, food, and environmental factors. Its mission is to assess and respond to health problems at this human-animal-environment interface through multidisciplinary and collaborative efforts. Key areas of research and intervention include improved water management, poultry immunization, disease surveillance, food safety, and combating malnutrition. A signature project will pilot interventions in these areas in Uganda to evaluate the added benefits of One Health approaches.
This document discusses the One Health approach, which recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It notes that zoonotic diseases pose a large disease burden, especially in developing countries, and factors like human encroachment on wildlife habitats, intensive farming, and increased travel and trade have contributed to the emergence and spread of diseases. The One Health approach aims to promote cross-sectoral collaboration between medical, veterinary, and environmental professionals to achieve optimal health outcomes. Key organizations promoting One Health include WHO, FAO, OIE, and CDC. While India has started some One Health initiatives, more coordination is still needed between its medical and veterinary colleges to address zoonotic threats.

Delivery of animal health services in extensive livestock production systems ...ILRI
This document discusses animal health service delivery in extensive livestock production systems in Kenya. It notes that while successes have been achieved with motorcycles, the nomadic nature of pastoral systems makes regular service delivery challenging due to low population densities, poor infrastructure, and a weak cash economy. The government provides some services through county-level offices and intermittent programs, but coverage is sporadic. Private providers fill some gaps but may provide low-quality or illegal drugs. Community-based approaches are controversial, and more regulation of veterinary medicines is needed. Field days and internship programs help improve veterinary-farmer contact and education.

Environmental health comprises physical, biological, social, and psychosocial factors that can positively or negatively impact human health and quality of life. It involves assessing, controlling, and preventing environmental hazards from affecting present and future generations. A systematic approach to environmental health problems first determines hazards and exposure pathways, measures health effects, and applies available controls. Responders then analyze the population's environment to implement controls minimizing future health risks.
The document discusses various topics relating to environmental health including water quality, food safety, occupational health, air and water pollution sources and effects. It describes factors influencing health like pollutants versus toxicants and outlines responsibilities of environmental health services in areas such as water sanitation, waste disposal, and food hygiene.
This document discusses various topics related to health and disease, including:
- The dimensions of health (physical, mental, intellectual, spiritual, social)
- The difference between disease and illness
- Types of microorganisms that cause disease (viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, parasitic worms)
- The chain of infection and how diseases spread
- Methods of disease transmission (direct, indirect)
- Stages of infection (incubation, early symptoms, clinical, recovery)
- Methods of prevention and control of infection (medical asepsis, standard precautions, universal precautions, body substance isolation)
The document discusses various theories of disease causation including the germ theory, epidemiological triad, multifactorial causation theory, and web of causation. It also covers the Devers epidemiological model and describes the spectrum and iceberg models of disease. Nurses can play an important role in disease prevention through activities like early diagnosis, treatment, notification of diseases, identifying infection sources, and providing health education.
This document discusses concepts related to disease and causation, including:
1) The natural history of a disease describes its evolution over time from earliest stages to recovery, disability, or death without treatment.
2) Henle-Koch's postulates provide guidelines for establishing causation between a microbe and a disease.
3) The stages of a disease include pre-pathogenic, pathogenic, incubation period, prodromal, overt disease, defervescence, and convalescence phases.
The document discusses the concept of health and disease from different perspectives. It outlines the changing concepts of health from a biomedical model focused on disease absence to a holistic model recognizing social, economic, environmental and other influences. It also discusses definitions of health from organizations like WHO and concepts like determinants, dimensions and indicators of health.

Presented by Jeff Gilbert at the second scientific Asia and the Pacific symposium on "Sustainable diets: Human nutrition and livestock", Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, 21 August 2013.
One Health is an integrated approach that aims to optimize health and balance among humans, animals, plants and the environment. It recognizes that the health of these groups are interdependent. Key principles include equity among sectors, inclusion of marginalized groups, socioecological balance, stewardship of the ecosystem, and transdisciplinary collaboration. Emerging infectious diseases often originate at the interface between humans, animals and ecosystems, spread rapidly due to global travel, and most animal viruses remain undiscovered, highlighting the need for a One Health approach. In India, adopting One Health requires greater collaboration between medical and veterinary sectors due to challenges like few field epidemiologists and lack of data on zoonotic diseases.

Food safety research in low- and middle-income countriesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet at the first technical meeting to launch the Food Safety Working Group under the One Health Partnership framework, Hanoi, Vietnam, 28 September 2023
The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

Embracing Deep Variability For Reproducibility and Replicability
Abstract: Reproducibility (aka determinism in some cases) constitutes a fundamental aspect in various fields of computer science, such as floating-point computations in numerical analysis and simulation, concurrency models in parallelism, reproducible builds for third parties integration and packaging, and containerization for execution environments. These concepts, while pervasive across diverse concerns, often exhibit intricate inter-dependencies, making it challenging to achieve a comprehensive understanding. In this short and vision paper we delve into the application of software engineering techniques, specifically variability management, to systematically identify and explicit points of variability that may give rise to reproducibility issues (eg language, libraries, compiler, virtual machine, OS, environment variables, etc). The primary objectives are: i) gaining insights into the variability layers and their possible interactions, ii) capturing and documenting configurations for the sake of reproducibility, and iii) exploring diverse configurations to replicate, and hence validate and ensure the robustness of results. By adopting these methodologies, we aim to address the complexities associated with reproducibility and replicability in modern software systems and environments, facilitating a more comprehensive and nuanced perspective on these critical aspects.

Cultivation of human viruses and its different techniques.MDAsifKilledar
Viruses are extremely small, infectious agents that invade cells of all types. These have been culprits in many human disease including small pox,flu,AIDS and ever present common cold as well as plants bacteria and archea .
Viruses cannot multiply outside the living host cell, However the isolation, enumeration and identification become a difficult task. Instead of chemical medium they require a host body.
Viruses can be cultured in the animals such as mice ,monkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs etc. After inoculation animals are carefully examined for the development of signs or symptoms, further they may be killed.
Discovery of Merging Twin Quasars at z=6.05Sérgio Sacani
We report the discovery of two quasars at a redshift of z = 6.05 in the process of merging. They were
serendipitously discovered from the deep multiband imaging data collected by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC)
Subaru Strategic Program survey. The quasars, HSC J121503.42−014858.7 (C1) and HSC J121503.55−014859.3
(C2), both have luminous (>1043 erg s−1
) Lyα emission with a clear broad component (full width at half
maximum >1000 km s−1
). The rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) absolute magnitudes are M1450 = − 23.106 ± 0.017
(C1) and −22.662 ± 0.024 (C2). Our crude estimates of the black hole masses provide log 8.1 0. ( ) M M BH = 3
in both sources. The two quasars are separated by 12 kpc in projected proper distance, bridged by a structure in the
rest-UV light suggesting that they are undergoing a merger. This pair is one of the most distant merging quasars
reported to date, providing crucial insight into galaxy and black hole build-up in the hierarchical structure
formation scenario. A companion paper will present the gas and dust properties captured by Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations, which provide additional evidence for and detailed measurements of
the merger, and also demonstrate that the two sources are not gravitationally lensed images of a single quasar.

Mapping the Growth of Supermassive Black Holes as a Function of Galaxy Stella...Sérgio Sacani
The growth of supermassive black holes is strongly linked to their galaxies. It has been shown that the population
mean black hole accretion rate (BHAR) primarily correlates with the galaxy stellar mass (Må) and redshift for the
general galaxy population. This work aims to provide the best measurements of BHAR as a function of Må and
redshift over ranges of 109.5 < Må < 1012 Me and z < 4. We compile an unprecedentedly large sample with 8000
active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 1.3 million normal galaxies from nine high-quality survey fields following a
wedding cake design. We further develop a semiparametric Bayesian method that can reasonably estimate BHAR
and the corresponding uncertainties, even for sparsely populated regions in the parameter space. BHAR is
constrained by X-ray surveys sampling the AGN accretion power and UV-to-infrared multiwavelength surveys
sampling the galaxy population. Our results can independently predict the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) from
the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF), and the prediction is consistent with the observed XLF. We also try adding
external constraints from the observed SMF and XLF. We further measure BHAR for star-forming and quiescent
galaxies and show that star-forming BHAR is generally larger than or at least comparable to the quiescent BHAR.

Measuring gravitational attraction with a lattice atom interferometerSérgio Sacani
Despite being the dominant force of nature on large scales, gravity remains relatively
elusive to precision laboratory experiments. Atom interferometers are powerful tools
for investigating, for example, Earth’s gravity1
, the gravitational constant2
, deviations
from Newtonian gravity3–6
and general relativity7
. However, using atoms in free fall
limits measurement time to a few seconds8
, and much less when measuring
interactions with a small source mass2,5,6,9
. Recently, interferometers with atoms
suspended for 70 s in an optical-lattice mode fltered by an optical cavity have been
demonstrated10–14. However, the optical lattice must balance Earth’s gravity by
applying forces that are a billionfold stronger than the putative signals, so even tiny
imperfections may generate complex systematic efects. Thus, lattice interferometers
have yet to be used for precision tests of gravity. Here we optimize the gravitational
sensitivity of a lattice interferometer and use a system of signal inversions to suppress
and quantify systematic efects. We measure the attraction of a miniature source mass
to be amass = 33.3 ± 5.6stat ± 2.7syst nm s−2, consistent with Newtonian gravity, ruling out
‘screened ffth force’ theories3,15,16 over their natural parameter space. The overall
accuracy of 6.2 nm s−2 surpasses by more than a factor of four the best similar
measurements with atoms in free fall5,6
. Improved atom cooling and tilt-noise
suppression may further increase sensitivity for investigating forces at sub-millimetre
ranges17,18, compact gravimetry19–22, measuring the gravitational Aharonov–Bohm
efect9,23 and the gravitational constant2
, and testing whether the gravitational feld
has quantum properties24.
This presentation offers a general idea of the structure of seed, seed production, management of seeds and its allied technologies. It also offers the concept of gene erosion and the practices used to control it. Nursery and gardening have been widely explored along with their importance in the related domain.
The use of probiotics and antibiotics in aquaculture production.pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing agriculture sectors in the world, providing food and nutritional security to millions of people. However, disease outbreaks are a constraint to aquaculture production, thereby affecting the socio-economic status of people in many countries. Due to intensive farming practices, infectious diseases are a major problem in finfish and shellfish aquaculture, causing heavy loss to farmers (Austin & Sharifuzzaman, 2022). For instance Bacterial fish diseases are responsible for a huge annual loss estimated at USD 6 billion in 2014, and this figure has increased to 9.58 in 2020 globally.
Disease control in the aquaculture industry has been achieved using various methods, including traditional means, synthetic chemicals and antibiotics. In the 1970s and 1980s oxolinic acid, oxytetracycline (OTC), furazolidone, potential sulphonamides (sulphadiazine and trimethoprim) and amoxicillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in fish farming (Amenyogbe et al., 2020). However, the indiscriminate use of antibiotics in disease control has led to selective pressure of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, a property that may be readily transferred to other bacteria (Bondad‐Reantaso et al., 2023a). Traditional methods are ineffective against controlling new disease in large aquaculture systems. Therefore, alternative methods need to be developed to maintain a healthy microbial environment in aquaculture systems, thereby maintaining the health of the cultured organisms.

16. History of One Health
• Ancient times: experts often treated both animals & humans.
• 11th – 17th Century: Human medicine integrated into the medieval
universities, whereas veterinary medicine focussed on horses and
remained in the hands of equerries;
• 18th century : The first veterinary school in Lyon (1762) followed by
Berlin
• 19th century:
– Rudolf Virchow , father of cellular pathology, that, “Between animal and
human medicine there are no dividing lines – nor should there be.”
• 20th century: both sciences specialised to an extent that their
association was hardly visible
• 1976: Calvin Schwabes’ re-thinking of the concept of “one medicine”
in, that fully recognized the close systemic interaction of humans and
animals for nutrition, livelihood and health
• 1990-2000: Jokob Zinnsstag, West Africa, “One Medicine”

• Many similarities but different traditions/background
• Integrated approach (scope different)
• At present, the concepts of ecohealth and one health are still
evolving.
• There is no single universally accepted definition of either “One
Health” or “EcoHealth.” (Even the spelling of the terms is not
yet standardized: some prefer to write ecohealth without any
capitalization.)
35. Eco Health
• The Ecohealth approach focuses above all on the place of
human beings within their environment. It recognizes that
there are inextricable links between humans and their
biophysical, social, and economic environments, and that
these links are reflected in a population's state of health.
International Development Research Centre (IDRC)
• EcoHealth is an emerging field of study researching how
changes in the earth’s ecoszstems affect human health. It has
many prospects. EcoHealth examines changes in the
biological, physical, social and economic environments and
relates these changes to human health. Wikipedia.
36. One Health
• One Health is the collaborative effort of multiple disciplines working
locally, nationally, and globally, to address critical challenges and
attain optimal health for people, domestic animals, wildlife, and our
environment

44. Introduction: Ecohealth Theory
• IDRC’s Ecohealth Program Initiative is based on three
methodological pillars (Lebel, 1994):
– transdisciplinarity, participation, and equity.
• More recently, Charron (2012) expanded on the three
pillars of Lebel, introducing six Key Principles of
EcoHealth. Three of Charron’s principles are
substantially similar to one of the pillars introduced by
Lebel:
– Systems thinking, Knowledge to action, Transdiciplinary,
Participation, Equity, Sustainability

• The 3 pillars are defined as follows:
• Transdisciplinarity implies an inclusive
vision of health problems by scientists
from multiple disciplines, community
and policy actors
• Participation aims to achieve
consensus and cooperation within the
community and the scientific and
decision-making groups;
• Equity involves analyzing the
respective roles of men and women,
and various social groups;

An approach to understand complex systems (socio‐economic, socio‐
ecological ect)
49. 6 principles of EH
• System thinking: System thinking suggests that the way to
understand a system is to examining the linkages and
interactions between the elements that make up the system
– In contract to reductism which looks more in details of its parts.
• Knowledge to action: Knowledge to action refers to the idea
that knowledge generated by research is then used to improve
health and well-being through an improved environment
– What are different groups are interested to change
– Approaches are different, community versus policies
50. 6 principles of EH
• Transdisciplinarity inclusive vision of health problems by
scientists from multiple disciplines, community and policy
actors
– From the first idea until dissemination/publication
• Participation aims to achieve consensus and cooperation within
community and scientific and decision-making groups
– Define on who should participate and will be there role
– Mapping of potential actors, stakeholders or groups
51. 6 principles of EH
• Equity involves analyzing the respective roles of men and women,
and various social groups;
– Social cultural
– Ethnic minorities
– Marginalised groups
– Gender
• Sustainability: ecohealth research should aim to make ethical, and
lasting changes which are environmentally sound & socially
acceptable.

59. Specific experiences from EcoZD
• Start up issues
– Allocation of time of partners
– Level of counterparts (junior/senior)
– “Lost in translation”
• e.g. EH (Bahasa Indonesia)
• English skills varied widely between countries but also
between team members
– Identification of EH mentors/champions, considerable
mentoring required to ensure an EH approach
60. Specific experiences from EcoZD
Start up issues cont.
– Identification of a common research interest (e.g. 4
different institutions involved in China)
– Social science vs. biometric science background,
focus of teams was on the latter
• Social science involvement remained a constant challenge
– Qualitative vs. quantitative research
– Two-dimensional capacity-building requirement
• Technical (proposal writing/implementation/methodological)
• EHRC concept
62. Case studies: added value of Eco health
Brucellosis in Yunnan
Problem:
• Brucellosis is emerging in southern China
• Some information on prevalence's
• Little or no information on perception of involved groups and
stakeholders
Classical vet approach:
• Prevalence study in cattle and small ruminants
One Health
• Adding human component (e.g. review of cases in hospitals)
63. Case studies: added value of Eco health
Brucellosis in Yunnan
Adding an Eco Health perspective:
Involving of all relevant groups or stakeholders from the begin
and throughout the project (participation)
• Farmers: perception (importance of Brucellosis compared to other
diseases)
• Involvement of other risk groups (butchers, ... )
• Stakeholders: e.g. policy makers (local, national)
• Policy (regulations & enforcement)
• Ecological aspects (management of aborted fetus ...)
• Gender aspects (who sells milk, who slaughters, who responsible for
goat or cattle)
• Socio economic drivers (Introduction & control)
– Willingness to pay for control or basic bio security

‘Combining the total societal benefits, the intervention in the animal sector saves
cost, provides the economic argument and thus opens new approaches for the
control of zoonoses in developing countries through cost contributions from
multiple sectors.’

68. Case studies: added value of Eco health
Model of Hygienic Small Scale Poultry Slaughter House
The problem:
Poor hygienic practices in Small scale poultry SH
Objective:
To elucidate the status of small scale poultry slaughterhouses and
their affect to ecological and health in the community
Hypothesis:
“Systemic approach might improve and sustain the
slaughterhouses more hygienic and viable”.
Classical vet approach:
Determination of prevalence for Salmonella in Small Scale
Poultry Slaughter House

• Transdisciplinarity (pillar 1)
– Human health, Animal health, Socio Economics, Private sector
(associations), environmental experts …
• Participation (pillar 2)
– Community, policy makers (local, national, other relevant
stakeholders), SH management, traders, consumers …
• Equity (pillar 3)
– Role of woman and man (e.g. Who buys and prepares food)

6. Way forward - ACIAR proposal
77. ACIAR project objectives 2 & 3
2. To identify, document and address constraints to the use of good
disease prevention practices by smallholder pig farmers in Region –
• Conduct training workshop in the principles of ecohealth research and
participatory epidemiology for field staff
Focus: Field staff? Re-consider the target group
• Stakeholder mapping
• EH framework
3. Objective 3: To estimate the incidence and economic impact of two
disease syndromes of importance to smallholder farmers
This objective will combine the general principles and approach of
ecohealth style research with capacity building in diagnosis of disease and
management and use of animal health data.
78. Steps for an EH approach
Conceptualisation phase, ideally in the design phase of the
proposal
• How was the problem being identified
• Who should be involved to address the problem
• Have all potential groups/stakeholders being consulted in a
participatory way from the beginning and all the along
• Rather bottom up than top down
• Define objectives, outputs, outcomes and system boundaries
• Have you followed the six principles of EH
Draw a connectional framework of the proposed project, discuss it and
reframe it if needed.
79. OH-EH Research components
Guidelines
1. Make integration part of the project from the beginning.
2. Identify a clear research question, boundaries and project goal.
3. Identify and include relevant disciplines
4. Agree on an integrative concept or approach
5. Manage for operational efficacy.
6. Insure the institutional environment is conducive to cross-‐disciplinary
collaboration
7. Plan and assess progress & monitoring e.g. Outcome mapping
