Princeton University’s Laura Kahn, MD, MPH, MPP, a physician, spends her days analysing the risks of animal diseases jumping to humans – accidentally or deliberately. She talks to Andrew Masterson, news editor of cosmos.

...Some years ago, exploring possible alternative strategies to better manage the threat posed by zoonotic diseases, Kahn co-founded the One Health Initiative – a collaboration between physicians, veterinarians and other health professionals. Member organisations include the American Medical Association, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the US department of Agriculture and the American Nurses Association.

“One Health recognises the close linkages between human, animal, and environmental health,” she explains. ...

TODAY IS ONE HEALTH DAY 2017!

One Health Day 2017 events planned by scientists, health practitioners/organizations and students demonstrate a tremendous global interest, need and call for health professionals

to work together across disciplines.

One Health Day https://www.onehealthcommission.org/en/eventscalendar/one_health_day/ is an international campaign launched in November 2016, co-coordinated by the One Health Commission ttps://www.onehealthcommission.org/, the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono Team http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/ and the One Health Platform Foundation https://www.onehealthplatform.com/.

The goal of One Health Day is to bring attention around the world to the need for One Health interactions and for the world to 'see them in action'. The One Health Day campaign is designed to engage as many individuals as possible from as many arenas as possible in One Health education and awareness events, and to generate an inspiring array of projects worldwide.

If you know someone planning and implementing a One Health Day event any time of the year, (only competing student events https://www.onehealthcommission.org/en/eventscalendar/one_health_day/student_competition/ must fall within a certain time frame) please ask them to register their event https://www.onehealthcommission.org/en/eventscalendar/one_health_day/event_submission_form/ (even after the fact) to 'get on the map'. (https://goo.gl/p81doo). We know there are many events being held around the world that are not registered and pinned on the map because we are seeing them discussed on OH Day Facebook and Twitter.

Emerging Pandemic Threats

https://www.usaid.gov/news-information/fact-sheets/emerging-pandemic-threats-program

Background

Nearly 75 percent of all new, emerging, or re-emerging diseases affecting humans at the beginning of the 21st century are zoonotic (i.e. originated in animals). Notable reminders of how vulnerable the increasingly interconnected world is to the global impact of new emergent diseases include HIV/AIDS, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the H5N1 strain of avian influenza, and the 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus. The speed with which these diseases can emerge and spread presents serious public health, economic, and development concerns. It also underscores the need for the development of comprehensive disease detection and response capacities, particularly in “hot spot” areas such as central Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Latin America where a confluence of risk factors may contribute to disease emergence. ...

“...RESPOND project: implementing partners are Development Alternatives Inc., Tufts University, University of Minnesota, Ecology and Environment, and Training Resources Group.

RESPOND focuses on pre-service workforce training and strengthening outbreak response capacity. Specific activities include: networking 34 schools of public health, veterinary medicine, and environment in both Africa and Southeast Asia to promote a “One Health” approach among future graduates; developing an outbreak response algorithm for health events where the cause has not yet been identified; and supporting outbreak response when requested....”
