Neglected “Other” One Health Heroes!

Neglected “Other” One Health Heroes!

 

Bruce Kaplan, DVM

 

The International One Health movement generally puts focus on the crucial public health aspects of this life protecting-life saving concept.  The physicians, veterinarians and other health scientists/professionals associated with zoonotic disease prevention and control are indeed essential for our global health.   These professionals are important in solving many of the riddles associated with biosecurity and threats of bioterrorism too.

 

However, One Health also encompasses cancer research, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, orthopedic prosthetic device advances, vaccine development, environmental health, plant health etc.  Without including these health and health care concerns … “One Health” becomes “Some Health”.

 

  • In the 1970s and early 1980s the 20th century public health community recognized and promoted this concept (under the heading of ‘One Medicine’) without any participation by or recognition of their counterpart clinical-colleagues that are equally important. 
  • Private practitioners of human and veterinary medicine continue to be largely unaware of One Health and not participatory to any noticeable extent. They have therefore not expressed their powerful voice on the issue. 
  • The knowledgeable clinical health/academic communities of veterinary medicine and medicine have not, to date, acknowledged that many of their visionary “other” colleagues are a crucial part of the One Health big picture.
  • Limited input has evolved from environmental health and plant health experts.
  • Most are unaware of and/or do not grasp the significance of including plant health. 

 To name a small number (there are more throughout the world!) of these unheralded “other” One Health heroes in the U.S.:

Gastritis caused by Helicobacter heilmannii probably transmitted from dog to child.

Gastric infection with Helicobacter heilmannii is rare but is known to be associated with chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer, and low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in humans. In contrast to H. pylori, various H. heilmannii species colonize the stomachs of domestic animals, which might be a reservoir for transmission to humans. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy presenting with chronic gastritis caused by H. heilmannii. Endoscopic examination reveals H. heilmannii-like infection on biopsy samples in his two pet dogs. Sequencing of the 16S and 23S ribosomal DNA by PCR was used to compare the H. heilmannii-like bacterial samples isolated in the boy and his dogs. These DNA amplification methods suggest that the boy was infected by his pet dogs (zoonosis). Our patient was cured by treatment with proton-pump inhibitor and antibiotics. Endoscopic follow-up of the boy showed a complete cure of gastritis and eradication of the bacterium.

Chapter 8 zoonoses in wildlife integrating ecology into management.

Mathews F.

Zoonoses in wildlife not only play an important ecological role, but pose significant threats to the health of humans, domestic animals and some endangered species. More than two-thirds of emerging, or re-emerging, infectious diseases are thought to originate in wildlife. Despite this, co-ordinated surveillance schemes are rare, and most efforts at disease control operate at the level of crisis management. This review examines the pathways linking zoonoses in wildlife with infection in other hosts, using examples from a range of key zoonoses, including European bat lyssaviruses and bovine tuberculosis. Ecologically based control, including the management of conditions leading to spill-overs into target host populations, is likely to be more effective and sustainable than simple reductions in wildlife populations alone.
