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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
Presentation by Delia Grace at the first United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Science-Policy Forum ahead of the Second Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-2), Nairobi, Kenya, 20 May 2016.
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 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.
Nexus between One Health, nutrition and food safetyILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet, Fred Unger, Dang Xuan Sinh, Paula Dominguez-Salas and Delia Grace at the Asia-Pacific regional symposium on sustainable food systems for healthy diets and improved nutrition, Bangkok, Thailand, 10–11 November 2017.
This document outlines Kenya's progress in establishing a national One Health office through key steps taken from 2005-2012. It describes the formation of technical working groups and task forces to respond to disease outbreaks. A Zoonotic Disease Unit was created in 2011 under a memorandum of agreement between the Ministries of Health and Agriculture. The unit developed a strategic plan and priority disease list to strengthen surveillance, establish partnerships, and conduct research at the human-animal-ecosystem interface. Examples provided include a joint investigation of a human African trypanosomiasis outbreak and a brucellosis prevalence study. The document highlights progress integrating One Health approaches in national policies, guidelines and multi-sectoral outbreak responses in Kenya.
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.
Veterinary public health administration and organisationAneesha K N
This document discusses veterinary public health administration and organization. It describes key veterinary public health activities including addressing zoonotic diseases, food safety inspection, and environmental protection. It outlines the roles of public health teams at the local, district and national levels. The document also discusses planning and implementing veterinary public health programs in India, including constraints around resources, infrastructure and inter-sectoral collaboration. Effective veterinary public health requires an interdisciplinary approach and continued development given emerging issues.
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 zoonoses, which are diseases that can be transmitted between animals and humans. It defines zoonoses according to the WHO and notes that over 60% of known human pathogens are zoonotic. The document then provides a brief history of zoonoses and examples throughout time. It also compares the impact of major zoonotic diseases like rabies to other leading causes of death globally. Different classifications of zoonoses are outlined. Factors that can lead to disease emergence are listed, and the roles of wildlife and bush meat in disease transmission are described. Important zoonotic diseases like brucellosis, anthrax, tuberculosis, leptospirosis, and plague are then summarized in terms of
One Health is an approach that recognizes the close connections between human, animal, and environmental health. It aims to bring together sectors like human and veterinary medicine to achieve better public health outcomes. The One Health approach is relevant for issues like food safety, controlling zoonotic diseases that can transmit between animals and humans, and combating antibiotic resistance. Zoonotic diseases pose major risks, as over 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. The One Health approach requires cross-sectoral collaboration and data sharing to effectively monitor diseases, provide guidance to reduce risks, and prevent pandemics.

Major flaws in Animal Disease Control Leading to Partial Success or Failure.pptxBhoj Raj Singh
This presentation summarises major problems of Animal Disease Control Programs ongoing in India. India is a hyperendemic country for many animal diseases and zoonotic diseases. Every year billions of rupees are spent on disease control, surveillance, monitoring, and vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases. However, due to the failure of most animal disease control programs for one or other reasons India directly losses about 20 and 25 thousand crores annually due to endemicity of FMD & brucellosis, respectively. The presentation identifies problems at different levels of different ongoing disease control programs in India. The non-availability of authentic disease data and flaws in vaccine quality control are the biggest problems.
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.

The document discusses One Health and the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. It notes that human destruction of biodiversity and disruption of ecosystems can create conditions for diseases like COVID-19 to emerge. When humans disturb natural habitats and kill or cage wild animals, it can release viruses from their natural hosts, with humans becoming the new host. The document advocates for a multisectoral One Health approach involving coordination across human health, animal health, and environmental sectors to address health threats at the human-animal interface.

This initiative aims to improve human, animal, and environmental health through a One Health approach. It will focus on reducing antimicrobial resistance, improving food and water safety, and managing zoonotic diseases. The initiative will generate evidence on health risks, evaluate the impacts of technologies and approaches, and integrate innovations into policies and programs. It will work in contexts involving intensifying food systems, informal food systems, and the wildlife-livestock-human interface in low and middle-income countries.
The document discusses how CGIAR is applying a One Health approach to address COVID-19 and prevent future pandemics through agricultural research. CGIAR is conducting research to understand disease drivers, improve diagnostics and surveillance, strengthen biosecurity, and promote cross-sector collaboration. This includes ILRI repurposing its lab to process COVID-19 tests in Kenya and advising Ethiopia on testing strategies. A One Health approach that considers the interactions between human, animal and environmental health could help reduce disease emergence and save billions by limiting future pandemics according to economic analyses.

Public health is dependent on animal health in rural areas because poor animal health directly affects the human food supply. Veterinary public health entails the diagnosis, surveillance, epidemiology, control, prevention and elimination of Zoonoses. Unsatisfactory implementation of stringent disease control, meat inspectorate and drug dispensation legislations prevents the efficient production of food of animal origin; creating obstacles to international trade in animals and animal products and hence an impediment to overall socioeconomic development

Agriculture imposes large burdens on human health, resulting in three million deaths per year associated with agriculture, with one quarter of all deaths from infection linked to agriculture. Diseases will continue to emerge over the next 40 years. Priorities identified for reducing this burden include emerging infectious diseases and drivers like climate change, food safety and risk management, vaccines and diagnostics, and antimicrobial use and resistance. The vision is for ILRI research by 2054 to contribute to appropriate health management systems leading to healthy animals, people, ecosystems, increased food, and income for all.
Healthy lives: Tackling food-borne diseases and zoonoses ILRI
This document discusses the large burden that agriculture imposes on human health through emerging diseases, foodborne diseases, zoonoses, and malnutrition. It notes that agriculture is associated with 3 million deaths per year globally, with zoonoses and foodborne diseases alone killing 2.2 million people annually. The poor are most affected by these diseases. Agricultural solutions exist for controlling many agriculture-associated diseases, with benefits often outweighing costs. Improving food safety practices in informal markets through training and certification programs can significantly improve health outcomes.

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.

Centrifugation is a technique, based upon the behaviour of particles in an applied centrifugal filed.
Centrifugation is a mechanical process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed.
The denser components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the less dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis.

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.

Mites normally feed on the undersurface of the leaves but the symptoms are more easily seen on the uppersurface.
Tetranychids produce blotching (Spots) on the leaf-surface.
Tarsonemids and Eriophyids produce distortion (twist), puckering (Folds) or stunting (Short) of leaves.
Eriophyids produce distinct galls or blisters (fluid-filled sac in the outer layer)
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.

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.
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.

Why focus on livestock health?
Animal health
o Animal diseases cost several billion dollars a year and represent a major
constraint to increasing productivity; many tropical diseases represent neglected
problems.
Human health
o Most animal source food in developing countries is sold in wet markets and most
is unsafe; foodborne disease causes over 2 billion people to fall ill every year.
o Animal health products are used widely, often unwisely or are not available, e.g.
drugs, antimicrobials and vaccines. More antimicrobials are used in animals than
in humans.
Ecosystem health
o One new disease emerges every four months: 75% of new human diseases
emerge from animals; many have a wildlife–livestock interface

2. Animal health, human health and ecosystem health are closely interconnected, and One
Health is a useful approach to address complex health issues.
3. ILRI’s Animal and Human Health program has a portfolio of product lines in zoonoses,
emerging infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance, food safety and herd heath,
focusing on products with clients and a delivery system.
4. Collaborations with Korea are being developed including African swine fever research
and information and communication technology for animal health surveillance and
response, among others.
Promote a trans-disciplinary approach to health:
To increase the productivity of tropical livestock through better animal health
To reduce the negative impacts of agriculture on human health
(To improve animal, human and ecosystem health = one health)
This directly leads to higher incomes for farmers and better health and nutrition for consumers and livestock keepers.
