One Health Initiative Referenced (scroll down to page 7)

http://www.jennervaccinefoundation.org/ 

The Foundation seeks to enhance philanthropic support of vaccinology and is currently evaluating options for enhanced fundraising activities. The Foundation currently supports vaccine research and development through the Jenner Institute. The Foundation Board appoints the Director of the Institute, elects Jenner Investigators (currently numbering 24) and has funded space and facilities for vaccine research and development.

The Foundation actively supports enhanced collaborative interactions between researchers at the Institute for Animal Health working on veterinary vaccines and those at Oxford University developing new vaccines for human use.  The Foundation has also provided support for scientists from the former Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research to continue their work as part of the Jenner Institute. The Foundation draws Trustees from both Oxford University and the Institute for Animal Health (the two Partners in the charity) and has an external chair and three further independent trustees.

Note: The One Health team of the One Health Initiative website considers the Jenner Vaccine Foundation to be a model for the application of One Health principles.  More expeditious and efficacious results for humans and animals are the most likely outcome following the use of such practice. 

“One Health is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain optimal health for people, animals, plants and our environment.”

“One Health implementation will help protect and/or save untold millions of lives in our generation and for those to come.”

One Health: The Intersection of Humans, Animals and the Environment

Current Issue of the Institute for Laboratory Animal Research (ILAR) Journal Volume 51, Number 3. 

The One Health Initiative website team considers this to be a significant and important contribution to One Health literature.  In toto, it provides more concrete evidence sustaining the premise recognized by many international health scientists that One Health implementation is essential for this generation and for those to come.

Lifesaving drugs may be killing health workers

Nurses, pharmacists and others who handle chemo drugs have been getting sick. Despite multiple studies that indicate the drugs actually may cause cancers, the federal government doesn't require safeguards on the job.

Today Bedbugs are a huge problem for hotels and the tourist industry worldwide.  Perhaps, the answer is indeed a One Health solution?
