Understanding zoonotic impacts: the added value from One Health approachesNaomi Marks
This document discusses the benefits of mass vaccination programs for animal diseases that can infect humans (zoonoses).
It first presents data showing that mass vaccinating 25 million livestock animals in Mongolia against brucellosis would provide over $30 million in total societal benefits, including public health benefits, private health benefits, reduced household income loss, and agricultural benefits.
It then uses a mathematical model to show that mass dog vaccination is less costly than human post-exposure prophylaxis for controlling rabies transmission between dogs and humans.
Finally, it references a study that found an approach combining dog and human vaccination for rabies control in N'Djaména to be more cost-effective than human

Disease ecology is the study of interactions between pathogens, hosts, and their environment. It is an interdisciplinary field that combines epidemiology, ecology, and other disciplines to better understand how environmental changes can impact disease transmission and emergence. The challenges include predicting how human alteration of landscapes might lead to new diseases spreading from wildlife to humans, and developing surveillance methods to detect diseases early. Understanding disease ecology is important for preventing changes in pathogen virulence and managing diseases at the population level.

Incidence and Geographical Distiribution of Tumors in Dogs and Cats in Switze...Global Risk Forum GRFDavos
Dog and cat tumor registries can help research on tumor pathogenesis, epidemiology, treatment and prevention for animals and humans. Data from Switzerland shows that from 1955-2008, 51% of 121,964 dogs and 39% of 51,322 cats developed tumors. Key information from 3,000 punch cards was digitally converted. Spatial analysis found significant clusters and outliers of canine tumor incidence rates. A comparison of human, canine and feline cancer incidence from 1984-2008 found that dogs had 410 cases per 100,000 individuals with 51% of patients and 47% of tumors being malignant, while cats had 65 cases per 100,000 with 39% of patients and 81% of tumors being malignant.
One Health – an interdisciplinary approach in combating emerging diseasesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet, Delia Grace and Jakob Zinsstag at the International Symposium of Health Sciences (iSIHAT 2013), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 20-21 August 2013.
There are several key reasons why infectious disease outbreaks have been increasing globally in recent decades. Increased travel, trade, and urbanization have made it easier for pathogens to spread to new areas. Climate change is also enabling some disease-carrying mosquitoes and other animals to thrive in new environments. However, public health organizations have gotten better at detecting and responding to outbreaks early, meaning fewer cases per outbreak overall. Still, underfunding of disease surveillance programs in some areas has allowed certain illnesses to resurge. Continued challenges include poverty, conflict, and environmental degradation. Proper isolation of infectious patients also remains important for control.
This document discusses approaches to reducing health inequalities related to infectious diseases in Europe. It outlines three main intervention approaches: targeting high-risk populations, population-based strategies, and supporting vulnerable groups. The population-at-risk approach focuses interventions on groups with the highest exposure, like the homeless for tuberculosis. The population-based approach uses broad environmental and social strategies, like smoking bans or vaccination programs. The vulnerable population approach addresses underlying social determinants that concentrate multiple health risks among disadvantaged groups. The document advocates for comprehensive interventions that consider these different levels to minimize unintended consequences and reduce disproportionate burdens on high-risk communities.
This document discusses tuberculosis (TB) in Northern Ireland, including risk factors, epidemiology, and social determinants. It finds that non-UK born individuals and those living in deprived areas or crowded conditions have higher rates of TB. A case study examines a TB cluster among migrant workers from Timor-Leste living in poor housing and working conditions. The document calls for improved collection of health data and consideration of how social factors influence disease.
This document discusses the need for an all-Ireland approach to tackling health protection inequalities. It notes that infectious diseases disproportionately affect socioeconomically deprived communities and vulnerable populations like the homeless, intravenous drug users, prisoners, migrants, and travelers. Examples are given showing higher rates of tuberculosis, HIV, and other diseases in these groups. The document calls for strengthening surveillance, prevention efforts, and collaboration between Northern Ireland and Ireland to address health inequalities in infectious diseases and promote a more equitable approach to health protection.
The Infectious Diseases of East Africa Livestock (IDEAL) ILRI
The IDEAL project was a 3-year study of 500 calves in western Kenya that monitored the calves for multiple infectious diseases from birth to one year. Over 60 pathogens were identified with calves typically co-infected with an average of 6 pathogens. The project found that co-infections can reduce growth rates by interacting to increase or decrease disease impacts. Mortality from infectious diseases was 13% with three diseases (ECF, haemonchosis and heartwater) accounting for two-thirds of deaths. The project trained students, provided technical skills to staff, and shared findings with the local community to build capacity in the region.
Dog population management programs provide a more effective solution than culling for addressing issues like rabies transmission and human-dog conflicts. Such programs integrate components like education, healthcare, identification, legislation, and reproduction control to establish a stable, healthy dog population. Implementing these holistic programs in line with One Health principles has resulted in decreased rabies deaths and bites in places like Zanzibar while improving dog welfare.
The UF Emerging Pathogens Institute was created with $60 million in state funding to research human, animal, and plant pathogens. It has over 200 faculty members from various colleges focusing on pathogens. A study in Kolkata found that around 1/3 of diarrhea cases involved multiple pathogens. The GEMS study analyzed samples from over 3,600 children in Africa and Asia to identify pathogens using genetic techniques and found on average 3,900 sequences per sample. The distribution of pathogens differed by country. While pathogens clearly matter for public health impact, transmission pathways and prevention strategies also depend on the specific pathogen.

This document summarizes information about controlling Taeniasis and cysticercosis caused by the Taenia solium tapeworm through intersectoral collaboration. It discusses the life cycle and geographical distribution of T. solium, current control strategies including education, mass treatment of humans and pigs, vaccination of pigs, and penning pigs. Effectiveness of these strategies is mixed. The document calls for integrated, multi-agency control programs using tools like the effective TSOL18 vaccine for pigs and oxfendazole treatments, through public and private sector partnerships across human and veterinary medicine. Monitoring and evaluation of coverage and effectiveness is needed for sustainable control programs.

1) The document presents data showing that major declines in infectious diseases like measles, pertussis, and tuberculosis occurred before widespread vaccination efforts. This provides evidence that vaccines were not solely responsible for disease elimination.
2) Graphs and studies show artificial immunization is often ineffective or inconsequential for diseases like influenza, tuberculosis, measles and pertussis. In some cases, vaccination appeared to increase risks of disease or other health issues.
3) Data indicates increases in vaccine doses mandated for US children under 5 correlated with rising rates of infant mortality and deaths in children under 5. Studies also link vaccination to sudden infant death syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases, diabetes and recent rises in autism diagnoses.

This document discusses using a One Health approach to control zoonotic tuberculosis. It defines zoonotic tuberculosis as tuberculosis that can be transmitted between humans and animals. It describes the disease, including the causative agents and hosts. It then discusses the epidemiology of zoonotic tuberculosis, including modes of transmission between hosts and control methods. The document advocates for a One Health approach to control zoonotic tuberculosis, citing the complex transmission cycles between multiple hosts and environments. It argues the One Health approach improves efficiency by integrating human, animal, and environmental health surveillance and control programs and encouraging sharing of resources.

This document discusses investigating the spatial epidemiology of zoonotic viral haemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola. It examines using species distribution models to spatially assess the potential for animal transmission of diseases like Ebola to humans. It also examines using these models to spatially assess how diseases spread through human populations after initial transmission. The document outlines how boosted regression trees can be used to model disease suitability based on environmental correlates and make predictions about potential risk areas. It concludes by discussing the need to better understand disease dynamics in animal reservoirs and human exposure risk to predict spillover events.
Presentation by Professor Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London at the One Health for the Real World: zoonoses, ecosystems and wellbeing symposium, London 17-18 March 2016
This document discusses disease classification and prevention and control strategies. It describes communicable diseases as being caused by biological agents and transmitted between individuals, while noncommunicable diseases have complex, multifactorial causes. The chain of infection model outlines the steps by which a communicable disease is transmitted. Prevention strategies target various levels - primary prevention prevents disease, secondary prevention detects and treats early, and tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation. Both individuals and communities play important roles in prevention efforts.
Effective surveillance is critical for rabies elimination programs to detect outbreaks early, track disease spread, and judge program success. Traditional surveillance methods can be supplemented by innovative approaches like mobile phone reporting to shorten detection time. Surveillance data is needed on case numbers and distribution to target resources effectively. Maintaining surveillance is also important after a country achieves rabies-free status to detect any re-emergence of the disease. Synergistic investment across human and animal health sectors is needed to strengthen surveillance capacities for preparedness against infectious disease threats like rabies.

The document summarizes a study that investigated the prevalence of malaria and socioeconomic status of residents in Emohua Community, Rivers State, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from 200 subjects aged 0-17 years old and tested for malaria parasites. The main findings were:
1) The overall malaria prevalence was 53%, with higher rates among females, young children aged 0-6 years, and individuals from lower socioeconomic classes.
2) Subjects not using mosquito nets or using untreated nets had higher infection rates compared to those using treated nets.
3) Most individuals had non-formal education and sought treatment from patent drug sellers rather than hospitals. Treatment-seeking behaviors differed based on education levels.
This document summarizes the global burden of tuberculosis (TB) in 2011. Some key points:
- An estimated 1.4 million people died from TB that year, with over 80% of TB/HIV co-infections occurring in Africa.
- TB incidence rates were highest in Africa, linked to high HIV infection rates. People living with HIV are 20-40 times more likely to develop active TB.
- About 630,000 cases of multi-drug resistant TB were estimated, with over 60% occurring in 5 countries: India, China, Russia, Philippines, and Pakistan.
- 500,000 women and 65,000 children died from TB in 2011, and 10 million children were left orphaned

Dengue is a major mosquito-borne viral infection that is very common in tropical regions. It has spread significantly from the 20th to 21st century. In Sri Lanka, dengue was historically a sporadic disease but became endemic in 1989. Since then, the number of reported cases and affected districts has increased substantially. Public health efforts to control dengue through vector control and clinical management have had limited sustained effectiveness. Improving surveillance, prevention, and care is needed to reduce transmission and mortality from this growing public health challenge.
Bovine tuberculosis prevalence and economic impact in RwandaNanyingi Mark
This study evaluated the prevalence and economic impact of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in Rwanda through meat inspection at an abattoir. The researchers found a 0.9% prevalence of gross tuberculous lesions and a 0.5% prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis using culture. M. bovis was identified in 91.3% of culture-positive samples. Females and older cattle had higher prevalences. The study estimated an economic loss of over 3 million Rwandan francs annually from meat condemnation. It highlights the need for continued bTB surveillance and control in Rwanda.
Achieving HIV epidemic control - the importance of HIV prevention in womenHopkinsCFAR
CAPRISA hosts research units on HIV-TB pathogenesis and treatment as well as an HIV prevention centre of excellence. The document discusses achieving epidemic control of HIV and the importance of prevention, particularly among women.

Professor Servaas Morré discusses his extensive research on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections and the complications they can cause, especially female infertility. His main goals are to improve early diagnosis of tubal pathology through CT serology and identify genetic and environmental markers to advance subfertility diagnostics. A key focus is developing a genetic test to incorporate into routine subfertility diagnosis. He hopes this will reduce the number of women who are incorrectly triaged based on CT serology alone, undergoing unnecessary invasive procedures or delays in appropriate treatment.
Professor Servaas Morré discusses his extensive research on Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections and the role they play in female infertility. His work focuses on identifying host genetic markers that can be added to CT serology testing to improve diagnosis of tubal pathology and reduce the number of women who are incorrectly triaged for fertility treatment. Currently, 20% of women with a negative serology test actually have tubal damage, while 40-45% with a positive test do not have severe pathology. By incorporating genetic data into diagnostic decision trees, he hopes to lower these percentages to improve outcomes for subfertile women.

OS16 - 2.P2.a Advances and Gaps in Vaccine Modelling - R. ReeveEuFMD
This document summarizes research on vaccine modeling for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). It discusses models that investigate vaccine efficacy and vaccine selection. Regarding vaccine efficacy, it examines how vaccines increase protection against infection and disease, and evaluates methods for predicting protection based on antibody titers. It also considers the importance of subclinical infection. For vaccine selection, it reviews methods using challenge trials, sequence-based prediction, and cross-protection measures to determine the best vaccine for circulating strains. Overall, it identifies needs for better understanding factors like serological assays, subclinical infection epidemiology, and viral clade survival to improve vaccine choice.
This document provides information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding immunization and vaccine-preventable diseases. The summary includes:
- The number of diseases prevented by vaccines included in the routine childhood/adolescent immunization schedule has increased from 6 in 1964 to 16 in 2017.
- Vaccination has led to significant decreases in reported cases of diseases like smallpox, diphtheria, measles, and others compared to 20th century annual morbidity.
- CDC estimates that childhood vaccination between 1994-2016 prevented 381 million illnesses, 24.5 million hospitalizations, and 855,000 early deaths, saving $360 billion in direct costs and $1.65 trillion
Wildlife-livestock-human interface: recognising drivers of diseaseILRI
This document summarizes a presentation on wildlife-livestock-human disease transmission interfaces in Kenya. It discusses drivers of emerging infectious diseases like climate change and land use changes. Case studies on zoonotic diseases in smallholder farms in Western Kenya and Nipah virus transmission from bats to humans in Asia are described. A study on Malignant Catarrhal Fever transmission from wildebeest to cattle in the Kapiti Plains is also summarized. The presentation concludes that increased contact between wildlife, livestock and humans due to anthropogenic changes is increasing disease risks, and that pathogens may be one step ahead of current prediction capabilities.
Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus that causes severe diarrhea in children worldwide, resulting in about 1 million child deaths annually. It works by hijacking the host cell's protein synthesis machinery to produce more virus particles. Researchers have studied the virus's structure to find ways to prevent its takeover of host cells. Through crystallographic analysis of the viral NSP3 protein, they determined the structure of the protein bound to viral RNA. This provides insights into how the virus attaches to host machinery and could lead to new prevention or treatment strategies. On farms, rotavirus infection can be controlled through isolation of infected animals, strict hygiene, and equipment disinfection.

Social dimensions of zoonoses in interdisciplinary researchNaomi Marks
This document summarizes Dr. Hayley MacGregor's research on the social dimensions of zoonoses (diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans) in emerging livestock systems. It discusses two key areas: 1) how cultural and social practices influence zoonotic risk, and 2) the relationship between humans and animals. For area 1, it describes how factors like intensification of production, supply chains, processing practices, markets and consumer demand can drive zoonotic risk. For area 2, it discusses how human-animal relations blur traditional categories, and how the health of humans and animals is interdependent.

A congenital heart defect is a problem with the structure of the heart that a child is born with.
Some congenital heart defects in children are simple and don't need treatment. Others are more complex. The child may need several surgeries done over a period of several years.
Phosphorus, is intensely sensitive to ‘other worlds’ and lacks the personal boundaries at every level. A Phosphorus personality is susceptible to all external impressions; light, sound, odour, touch, electrical changes, etc. Just like a match, he is easily excitable, anxious, fears being alone at twilight, ghosts, about future. Desires sympathy and has the tendency to kiss everyone who comes near him. An insane person with the exaggerated idea of one’s own importance.

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

Part III - Cumulative Grief: Learning how to honor the many losses that occur...bkling
Cumulative grief, also known as compounded grief, is grief that occurs more than once in a brief period of time. As a person with cancer, a caregiver or professional in this world, we are often met with confronting grief on a frequent basis. Learn about cumulative grief and ways to cope with it. We will also explore methods to heal from this challenging experience.

• Many tools already exist for effective control of
endemic and neglected zoonoses
– Design of interventions to mitigate on-going burden of
disease
– Strengthening institutions, leadership, building trust
through common good
– Interventions that prevent infection at source likely to
provide a broader ‘safety net’ than reliance on clinical
management of human cases alone
