The One Health approach recognizes that human health, animal health, and environmental health are interconnected. It aims to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment through collaboration across multiple disciplines. Key agencies like FAO, OIE, and WHO have developed strategic frameworks to foster cooperation between sectors. Case studies demonstrate how delayed or lack of coordination between human and animal health sectors increased costs and impacted control of diseases like Nipah virus. Antimicrobial resistance is another issue that requires a One Health approach.
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.

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.
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.

Antibiotic resistance is a complex public health issue that requires a One Health approach. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human medicine, agriculture, and the environment has contributed to the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. A holistic, multisectoral response is needed that promotes prudent antibiotic use and prevents infection across human, animal, agricultural, and environmental domains.
The document discusses the One Health concept and approach. One Health recognizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It has origins in ancient times but is now defined by the One Health Initiative Task Force as collaborative efforts across disciplines to achieve optimal health for all. A One Health approach is relevant for issues like food safety, zoonotic disease control, and combating antibiotic resistance and requires communication across sectors to better address public health challenges.

AMR challenges in human from animal foods- Facts and Myths.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
This presentation talks about ÄMR: A public health threat, a “silent pandemic”.
Infections caused by Antimicrobial-drug-resistant (AMR) pathogens caused >1.27 million deaths worldwide in 2019 (low level or no surveillance) and increasing year after year which may be > million in coming decades. Covid-19 caused ~6.8 million deaths in >3 years but now the pandemic is ending but the AMR pandemic has no timeline for its ending. Many deaths are also attributed to AMR pathogens.
More antibiotic use (irrespective of the sector) = More AMR.
This presentation also talks about ways and means to mitigate the AMR pandemic. 1. Stopping the blame game. All are equally responsible for the emergence of AMR, the share of developed and educated communities is much more than poor and un-educated communities.
2. Working together: On-Line Real-Time AST Data Sharing Platform for different diagnostic and research laboratories doing AST routinely.
3. Implementing not only antibiotic veterinary and medical stewardship but antimicrobial production and distribution stewardship too.
4. Educating for Environmental health not only human, plant, and animal health.
5. AMR's solution is not in searching for alternatives to antibiotics but in establishing environmental harmony.
6. More emphasis on AMR epidemiology than on AMR microbiology and pharmacology.
7. Development of understanding that bacteria and other microbes are more essential for life on earth than the human race. Microbes can live without humans, but humans can’t without microbes.
Global-Health is of prime importance than economic growth/ greediness.
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
The document discusses various approaches for the prevention, control, and eradication of zoonotic diseases. It begins by explaining that the key concept is breaking the chain of transmission by controlling animal reservoirs, transmission routes, and immunizing susceptible hosts. It then defines and provides examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention in animals. Control strategies aim to reduce illness prevalence by targeting epidemiologically weak links. Eradication aims to permanently eliminate an infectious agent from a defined population. Methods discussed include quarantine, testing and slaughter, vaccination, vector control, reservoir control, early diagnosis, and improving hygiene and the environment. Factors important for disease control programs include veterinary infrastructure, diagnostic feasibility, surveillance, cooperation, and availability
1) The document discusses several zoonotic diseases including West Nile virus, rabies, and brucellosis. It describes the pathogens, transmission cycles between animals and humans, clinical manifestations in humans, and national surveillance efforts.
2) For diseases like rabies and brucellosis, the national surveillance involves mandatory reporting of human cases, monitoring of infected animals, and collaboration between human and veterinary agencies.
3) One health approaches discussed include integrating epidemiological data between human and veterinary fields to more rapidly detect and respond to zoonotic outbreaks.

This document discusses several important zoonotic diseases. It begins by defining zoonoses as diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. Around 60% of human infectious diseases are zoonotic. Emerging zoonoses are those that are newly recognized or increasing in incidence. Examples discussed include avian influenza, BSE, Nipah virus, and hantavirus. Common zoonotic diseases described in more detail include rabies, brucellosis, plague, leptospirosis, rickettsial infections, and arboviral diseases such as dengue, Japanese encephalitis and chikungunya. For each, the causative agent, transmission, clinical features, diagnosis and
This document discusses neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), which are a group of diseases that plague millions in tropical areas in developing countries. It describes the 17 NTDs profiled by the WHO, which are caused by a variety of pathogens including parasites, bacteria and viruses. NTDs disproportionately impact those living in poverty without access to clean water and sanitation. While some NTDs can be cured, many cause long-term disability and social stigma. The WHO's strategies to control NTDs include preventive chemotherapy, intensified case management, vector control, and improving water/sanitation.
Zoonoses are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. Direct or indirect contact with infected animals puts some people at higher risk, such as farmers and veterinarians. Zoonoses can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi transmitted through various routes like bites, scratches, aerosols, water, and food. Examples include avian influenza, rabies, anthrax, brucellosis, and toxoplasmosis. Proper hygiene and avoiding contact with sick or high-risk animals can help prevent zoonotic disease transmission.

The document discusses the evolving scope of veterinary public health (VPH) in the 21st century. It defines VPH as applying veterinary skills and knowledge to protect and improve human health. VPH involves preventing zoonotic diseases and ensuring food safety. It is multidisciplinary, involving veterinarians, physicians, and other professionals. The scope of VPH has expanded and now includes areas like epidemiology, biomedical research, and the human-animal bond. Changes in farming, food production, trade, and emerging diseases are reshaping the priorities of VPH. Maintaining services in a climate of reduced resources and rapid change will require flexibility, coordination between groups, and evidence-based decision making.
This chapter discusses prevention and control of zoonotic diseases. It describes four common zoonotic diseases in detail: anthrax, brucellosis, toxoplasmosis, and rabies. These diseases are usually transmitted from animals to humans through direct contact, ingestion, inhalation or bites. The chapter outlines symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment for each disease. It emphasizes the importance of public education, vaccination, proper food handling, and sanitation to prevent and control the spread of zoonotic diseases from animals to humans.
Este documento describe varias enfermedades zoonóticas, incluidas la leptospirosis, la leishmaniasis y el mal de Chagas. Explica los agentes causales, los animales afectados, los mecanismos de transmisión y los síntomas asociados con cada enfermedad. También cubre conceptos generales sobre zoonosis, factores de riesgo y clasificaciones.
This document provides an overview of zoonotic infections, which are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. It discusses the definition and importance of zoonoses, as well as their etiologic classification into viral, bacterial, parasitic and mycotic categories. Examples of common zoonotic diseases are provided for different animal species. The routes of transmission and life cycles of zoonoses are described. Risk factors for zoonotic infection and reportable zoonotic diseases in California are also summarized.
Las zoonosis son enfermedades que pueden transmitirse entre animales y humanos. Algunas zoonosis comunes son la brucelosis, la campilobacteriosis, el carbunco, la criptosporidiosis y la fiebre Q. Estas enfermedades se transmiten principalmente a través del contacto con animales infectados o el consumo de carne cruda o contaminada.
Zoonotic diseases can be transmitted between animals and humans, with rabies being a notable example. Rabies is an acute viral infection of the central nervous system that is transmitted through the saliva of infected animals via bites or scratches. It is fatal in over 95% of cases in Asia and Africa. The rabies virus is a bullet-shaped rhabdovirus that infects both domestic and wild animals and spreads to humans through contact with infected saliva. There is no cure once symptoms appear, making vaccination important for those at risk of exposure.
Zoonoses, or diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans, were discussed. Key points included:
- Over 250 known zoonotic diseases ranging from mild to fatal illnesses. Common zoonoses include salmonellosis, Lyme disease, and West Nile virus.
- Diseases are transmitted through various routes such as direct contact, bites, food/water, fomites, and vectors like fleas and ticks.
- At risk groups include those working with animals, in agriculture, recreationally exposed to wildlife, and travelers. Animal reservoirs include dogs, cats, food animals, birds, and wild rodents.
This document summarizes information about zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans. It focuses on rabies, providing details on the virus that causes rabies, its transmission through animal bites, symptoms including hydrophobia and encephalitis, incubation period, epidemiology in different animal populations and regions, diagnosis through microscopic examination for Negri bodies, and methods of prevention including post-exposure prophylaxis and vaccination. It also briefly discusses anthrax transmission through contact with infected animal tissues or inhalation of spores and its clinical forms.

Animal welfare education is imparted around the world in universities, with important programs focusing on concepts, assessment, law, and species-specific welfare. In India, animal welfare education is still developing and not fully addressing all aspects of welfare. A market demand study found widespread support for a national institute of animal welfare education in India to holistically address compassion, conservation, food safety, climate change, and livelihoods. Animal welfare involves the sciences of emotion, biology, and natural living needs. It also encompasses ethics, laws, and codes and practices for different animal types.

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

2. ILRI: Overview
• One of 15 international research centers of CGIAR (Consultative
Group on International Agricultural Research)
• Individual Centres set up in 1960s (IRRI 1960, ILRAD 1973, ILCA
1974)
• CGIAR 1971: 19 northern Govts + IGO (FAO,WB,ADB …)
• ILRI founded 1994; headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya
• ILRI focus – livestock, livelihoods, IAR4D
• ILRI: organized in 4 research ‘themes’: markets, biotechnology,
people-livestock-environment, poverty-gender-impact
4. CG Reform
To overcome the challenges and exploit the opportunities, the CGIAR has
undergone reform. A new Strategy and Results Framework (SRF) will, for
the first time, allow the CGIAR centers to function as a unified system,
working together to pursue shared goals
The 7 CGIAR Research Programmes* (formerly ‘mega-programmes’)
Objective – to harmonize
CRP-4: ‘Agriculture for Improved Health and Nutrition’
• This research program aims to accelerate progress in improving the
nutrition and health of poor people by exploiting and enhancing the
synergies between agriculture, nutrition, and health through four key
research components: value chains, biofortification, control of
agriculture-associated diseases, and integrated agriculture, nutrition, and
health development programs and policies. With IFPRI and ILRI as co-
Lead Centers, this program will also involve 10 other CGIAR Centers. It
has an initial 3-year budget of US$191.4 million.

5. EcoHealth v OneHealth
• Definitions open to debate: range from quite rigid to
very flexible!
• One-Health – biomedical focus: human + animal +
wildlife;
• EcoHealth: environment & socio-economic aspects –
pioneered outside ‘traditional’ health
• Personal opinion: OneHealth more theoretical,
conceptual; EcoHealth more tangible?
• Maybe it’s not so important … which ‘cola’

20. Challenges: What language are we talking?
Lingua franca
Eg Latin America/ EcoSalud
‘Lost in translation’
Biomedical v Social Sciences
Medics & Vets (clinical / laboratory / epidemiology)
Quantitative v Qualitative (ranking, dual health burden)
Researchers, Decision Makers, Communities
Novel approaches to holistic integrated approaches
One Health
One Medicine
EcoHealth
Inexact / broad interpretation v H5N1
Case studies & publications
21. Challenges: Resource & Scope
Human Resources
Supply & Demand
Language
Technical – including proposal writing/ methodololgy / analysis /paper-writing
Market forces operating
Identifying Champions (including to implement & to mentor)
Level of counterparts (senior v junior)
Scope of EcoZD
‘Carte blanche’ v prescriptive
Learning by doing (& making mistakes!)
Priority zoonoses +/- EID
EcoHealth approach – new ‘paradigm’
Two-dimensional capacity-building requirement
Greek temple analogy
EHRC concept
22. EcoZD: Some of the Solutions
Cambodia: champions identified, Govt senior level
support
China: silo syndrome, local expert to provide
technical assistance, EH training materials in
Chinese
Indonesia: multiple champions, finding niche - focus
on dog ecology, complementing other initiatives
Lao PDR: pooling inputs/outputs with ACIAR project
Thai-Viet: reduced to 2 countries, local experts
identified to provide technical assistance, link to
EHRC-CMU
Viet Nam: 3 research contracts and individual
priorities, difficulties deciding on priority, change
approach/angle
23. ‘EcoHealth Resource Centres’
Partners:
•Chiang Mai University, Thailand
•Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Development
•Need for local capacity building
•Target audience of undergraduates/postgrads – more
open-minded(?)
•Need to engage senior academics
•Multiple disciplines (faculties) ‘under one roof’
24. ‘EcoHealth Resource Centres’
• Provision of relevant training for staff, students and
outside participants;
• Promotion of knowledge sharing and assimilation
through making available books and peer-reviewed
publications;
• Conducting multi/trans-disciplinary EcoHealth
research activities involving post-graduate students;
• Preparing publications – from desktop/retrospective
and prospective research; also position papers;
• Providing advocacy for EcoHealth – other universities,
government and communities.
25. Yet more challenges
Definitions/ Standardisation for curriculum development
One Health / One Medicine / EcoHealth
Who’s right?
Eg ILRI & USAID at CMU
Biomedical v Social Sciences
Who leads?
Quantitative v Qualitative – do they really mix?
Will decision-makers & communities be convinced
Case studies & publications
Vital to get peer-reviewed publications as well as local
language articles
26. Beyond EcoZD
• EHRCs
– Long term capacity building at various levels
– No MSc or PhD of EcoHealth/OneHealth envisaged
– Beyond communicable diseases
– Own working definition and approach – refined as per
context
– Approach accepted – importance of ‘branding’
• Country Research Teams
– Case studies fully synthesized (and lots of lessons learned will
surely emerge)
– Maintain relationships & potential further collaboration
