The One Health Newsletter’s 2009 Winter Issue is now published online.  It contains a variety of interesting and pertinent One Health articles.

Among items of note is a “One Health Steering Committee Update” by Carina Blackmore, DVM, PhD.  Dr. Blackmore is Chair of the One Health Initiative Steering Committee’s Communications workgroup, a member of the One Health Newsletter editorial board, and Florida’s (USA) State Public Health Veterinarian.

Mary Echols, DVM, MPH, Editor of the One Health Newsletter pointed out:

“The 2009 Winter Issue of the One Health Newsletter intentionally solicited various points of view on the judicious use of antimicrobials in an effort to promote discussion on this important and controversial subject.  Indeed, in the spirit of One Health we encourage prospective authors to express different points of view on a variety of public health and clinical health topics, not just antibiotic use. ” 

In addition to accessing the Newsletter via the above Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the Publication page http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/publications.php of this website presents it in full.
