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.

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

Presentation by Professor David Waltner-Toews of Veterinarians without Borders, Canada, at the One Health for the Real World: zoonoses, ecosystems and wellbeing symposium, London 17-18 March 2016
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.

Animal disease ecology and transmission by Dr. C DomingoPerez Eric
The document discusses animal disease ecology and transmission. It defines key terms like infection, disease, ecology, and transmission. It then discusses how environmental conditions, animal hosts, vectors, and pathogens interact to lead to disease transmission. Specifically, it explores how factors like climate change, land use changes, intensive farming practices, and globalization can influence disease emergence and spread among animal populations.
Animal Disease Ecology and Amp; TransmissionPerez Eric
1. Animal disease ecology and transmission involves the study of how diseases spread between animals and their environments. Key concepts include reservoirs, where pathogens live and multiply; ports of exit, how pathogens leave an infected host; and modes of transmission, how pathogens are passed between hosts.
2. Many factors can influence disease emergence and spread, including climate change, land use changes, increased animal densities, and globalization. Climate change can alter disease patterns by changing temperatures and rainfall in ways that increase vector populations. Changes in land use and encroachment on animal habitats can increase contact between wildlife and livestock.
3. Integrated policies are needed to address socioeconomic, institutional, and production factors that influence disease risks at the

One health Perspective and Vector Borne DiseasesNanyingi Mark
Vector borne diseases like malaria and Rift Valley fever pose significant risks to human and animal health in Africa. One Health approaches that consider the environmental, animal, and human factors are needed to develop early warning systems. The document discusses developing tools to detect climate sensitive disease outbreaks and assessing environmental and vector characteristics. It also presents models of Rift Valley fever transmission dynamics and the importance of vertical transmission between outbreaks. Spatial distribution models of Rift Valley fever vectors in Kenya were developed using climatic and ecological variables. The results can help target surveillance and control in high-risk areas.

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 study evaluated the direct and indirect protective effects of malaria interventions ITNs and IRS using data from 7 countries in Africa. A crude analysis found that ITN use significantly decreased odds of malaria in 2 countries and increased odds in 2 others, while IRS use significantly decreased odds in 1 country and increased odds in another. An adjusted analysis found no indirect protection for non-ITN users as coverage increased, but indirect protection was offered to ITN users as coverage increased in their neighborhood. IRS use did not provide individual or community-level protection against malaria. The contradictory findings highlight a need for further research on mechanisms driving these observed patterns.

- The document presents the results of epidemiological modelling to assess the potential impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) aimed at reducing COVID-19 transmission in the UK and US.
- Two fundamental strategies are evaluated: mitigation, which focuses on slowing spread to protect healthcare systems, and suppression, which aims to reverse epidemic growth and maintain low case numbers indefinitely until a vaccine is available.
- Modelling suggests that while mitigation may halve deaths and reduce the healthcare demand peak, hundreds of thousands could still die and healthcare systems would be overwhelmed. Suppression is the preferred option if possible, requiring a combination of social distancing, case isolation and household quarantine.
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.

This document discusses emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. It defines emerging diseases as newly identified infectious agents causing public health issues, and reemerging diseases as known agents resurging after being controlled. Factors contributing to their emergence and reemergence include changes in human, agent and environmental factors. Examples provided are hepatitis C, tuberculosis, cholera and dengue. Key tasks in dealing with them are surveillance, early control measures, prevention and monitoring. International collaboration through networks like GOARN is important for coordinated response. Multiple expertise from public health, epidemiology, laboratories etc. is required to tackle this challenge.

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.

Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations and the application of this study to control health problems. The epidemiological triad consists of an agent, host, and environment. Communicable diseases are transmitted from one host to another through various modes of transmission. Key aspects of epidemiology include reservoirs, portals of exit, modes of transmission, incubation periods, and susceptible hosts. Prevention strategies include primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention to promote health and prevent disease at different stages.
Infectious diseases have been a part of human history for as long as we can remember. From the Black Death in the 14th century to more recent outbreaks like COVID-19, these diseases have shaped the course of our lives.

John Snow is considered the father of epidemiology for his work investigating a cholera outbreak in London in 1854. Through mapping the locations of cholera cases and the water sources people used, Snow was able to determine that the source of the outbreak was the Broad Street water pump. Removing the pump handle stopped the outbreak. Snow's use of statistical mapping methods to identify the source of transmission pioneered epidemiological investigation techniques that are still used today.
OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION 1
OUTBREAK INVESTIGATION 2
Outbreak Investigation
Introduction
Epidemiology deals with the study of the determinants and distribution of disability or disease in the population groups (Szklo & Nieto, 2014). Epidemiology is one of the core areas in public health study and is essential for the evaluation of the efficacy of the new therapeutic and preventive modalities as well in the new organizational health care delivery patterns. I have for a long time developed a lot of interest in the area towards learning more on finding the causes of diseases and health outcomes in populations. Epidemiology views the individuals collectively, and the community is considered to be patient. The area of public health study is systematic, scientific, and data-driven in analyzing the pattern or frequency of the distributions and the risk factors or causes of specific diseases in the neighborhood, city, school, country, and global levels. Epidemiology handles various areas including environmental exposures, infectious diseases, injuries, non-infectious diseases, natural disasters and terrorism (Szklo & Nieto, 2014). Specifically, this paper explores epidemiology in addressing infectious disease, food-borne illness in the community. Also, the paper examines outbreak investigations as an intervention towards addressing the foodborne illness in the society. Further, an evaluation of the intervention and the expected results are discussed to examine or analyze the contributions of the intervention.
Foodborne Illness
Foodborne illness is any illness that results from food spoilage of the contaminated food. Food can be contaminated by the pathogenic bacteria, contaminated food, parasites, or viruses, as well as natural or chemical toxins including several species of beans, and poisonous mushrooms. In the United States, food-borne illness is estimated to impact negatively over 76 million people annually (Jones, McMillian, Scallan et al., 2007). This is translated to 5,2000 deaths, and 325,000 hospitalizations. However, the true incidence of food-borne illness is unknown. The majority of food-borne illness and most of the deaths are linked to “unknown agents” following the difficulties encountered in the diagnosis a foodborne disease. An estimated $7 billion is lost regarding productivity and medical expenses and is attributed to the most prevalent but diagnosable foodborne illnesses. Comment by Vetter-Smith, Molly J: Reference needed for this statement Comment by Vetter-Smith, Molly J: References needed for these statements
The under diagnosis in foodborne illnesses is further contributed by the majority who has the symptoms and signs of the disease but totally fail to seek medical attention. This circumstance coupled with the global and national distribution of foo.
Stienstra - Cooperation in public health good for global economyStef Stienstra
The document discusses the benefits of international cooperation in public health to combat infectious diseases in developing countries. It notes that such cooperation is good for the global economy by preventing pandemics and their economic impacts. It provides examples of recent public health crises like Ebola and arguments that more investment in pandemic preparedness through activities like strengthening health systems and coordinating response capabilities can significantly reduce risks to human lives and livelihoods at a relatively low cost compared to reacting to outbreaks. Military resources may also provide valuable support to public health efforts through capabilities in areas like logistics, communications, and mobile medical facilities.
This document provides an overview of epidemiology and its role in disease prevention and control. It defines key epidemiological terms and explains that epidemiology is the study of disease distribution, determinants, and application to control health problems in populations. Major historical epidemics are summarized, and principles of epidemiology like distribution, determinants, specified populations, and application are described. Methods of disease prevention and control like source removal, transmission prevention, and general outbreak investigation principles are also outlined. Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic around vaccination, sanitation, healthcare workforce, hospital capacity, hygiene, and awareness are highlighted.
Epidemic diseases are spread by insects passing on microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa when they feed or bite. Mosquitoes in particular spread serious epidemic diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, African sleeping sickness, and West Nile virus. Malaria is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, spread by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito between dusk and dawn across over 100 countries. Yellow fever is also spread by mosquitoes and causes varied symptoms with most improving after a few days but some experiencing liver and kidney failure. Vaccines exist for these diseases but are not always accessible in developing areas.

REPLY1
An area of public health (non-COVID-19) that you would like to learn more about is behavior and cultural issues. If we wish to help a community improve its health, we must learn to think like the people of that community. People around the world have beliefs and behaviors related to health and illness that stem from cultural forces and individual experiences and perceptions. Cultural behaviors have important implications for human health. Culture, a socially transmitted system of shared knowledge, beliefs and/or practices that varies across groups, and individuals within those groups, has been a critical mode of adaptation. Understanding how behaviors are rooted in an individual’s unique cultural experience and as a response to social pressures can better equip medical professionals with the context, skills and empathy necessary for holistic care.
REPLY2
An area of public health that I would like to learn more is infection prevention and control. Especially in our current times, preventing disease and spread is of high importance. Preventing the reoccurrence of old diseases especially preventable ones are high on the list of public health efforts. Infection preventionist registered nurses have been in high demand in different types of organizations and health care setting since 1941, after the British Medical Council suggested the need for this role (Weston 2008). Infection preventionist work to prevent central line infections, catheter associated infections, hospital acquired pressure ulcers, and hospital acquired pneumonia, including ventilator associated pneumonia.
Infection prevention specialist also work closely with local, state, and federal public health agencies in the reporting, managing, and possible testing and treatment of diseases. Disease threats are difficult to predict especially new disease, but due to an increase in emerging new diseases the return of old diseases is unavoidable. “Microorganisms previously unknown or unrecognized or thought to only cause diseases in animals can and have evolved to produce more virulent strains which can also affect humans (Weston, 2008, pp.4). Preventing disease including infectious agents is associated with public health.
The Centers for Disease prevention and Control (CDC) is an excellent source of information for all healthcare workers. The resources provided include basic principles of infection prevention and control (Centers for Infection Prevention and Control, 2020). Topics range from injection safety, sharps, and of high importance hand hygiene. Training and educational resources are also provided on CDC (Centers for Infection Prevention and Control, 2020).

Here are 3 best reasons that describe Will There Be a Next Pandemic? ;
1. What role does climate change play in the next pandemic?
2. How do we monitor for the next outbreak?
3. How do we prepare for the next pandemic?
Global health is an emerging field that draws from public health and international health. While these fields share similarities like a focus on populations and prevention, global health is distinct in that it addresses health issues that transcend national borders and involve multiple countries and disciplines. The document presents a definition of global health agreed upon by an international panel as "an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide." It emphasizes transnational health problems and solutions, an interdisciplinary approach, and a balance of population-based prevention and individual clinical care.
This document summarizes a presentation on child health nursing regarding immunization. It discusses how children are the future and immunization protects them from preventable diseases. The presentation reviews the history of immunization and how vaccines have reduced mortality from infectious diseases. It then presents the objectives and hypotheses of a study assessing knowledge of newer vaccines among mothers of under-five children. Key terms are operationally defined and the conceptual framework of health promotion is described.

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.
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.

21. First, in today's world, it's important to recognize that if certain
conditions are met — biologic shifts in a pathogen, changes in the
interactions between humans and our environment, fragile health
systems, international indifference, high population mobility, customs
and culture, urbanisation, and a lack of trust in authorities
— what might once have been a limited outbreak can become a
massive, potentially uncontrollable epidemic.

22. Second, classic “outbreak control” efforts are no longer sufficient for an epidemic
of this size.
What is required is large-scale, coordinated humanitarian, social, public health, and
medical response, combining classic public health measures with safe and effective
interventions including behavioral changes, therapies, and when possible,
vaccination. An appropriate response, moreover, requires an appreciation of the
culture of the societies in the affected countries and deployment of interventions
with the population's consent. Development of interventions in collaboration with
the affected communities and rebuilding of trust are essential to their success.
These integrated efforts will need to be accompanied by much better coordination
and real-time, open sharing of information across diverse disciplines and with all
the players involved, from civil society, national governments, nongovernmental
organizations, and academic institutions to regional and international organizations
and, when appropriate, the military.

23. Third, the development of diagnostic tools, therapies, and vaccines (at least up
through the acquisition of phase 1 safety data) for these relatively rare but
inevitable and potentially devastating epidemic diseases must be prioritized during
interepidemic periods, with an accepted, preapproved, and ethical mechanism for
accelerating development and testing such interventions when epidemic situations
arise. We believe that in this epidemic, we are reaching the limit of what classic
containment can achieve.
Despite great improvement over the past decade, there is still a need for better
surveillance, sharing of data in real time, and rapid action based on the available
information. But we cannot think that surveillance alone will bring such events
under control. We have become better at picking these things up; we now must
also learn to act more effectively.

26. There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
