World Health Organization Warning signals from the volatile world of influenza viruses February 2015 The current global influenza situation is characterized by a number of trends that must be closely monitored. These include: an increase in the variety of animal influenza viruses co-circulating and exchanging genetic material, giving rise to novel strains; continuing cases of human H7N9 infections in China; and a recent spurt of human H5N1 cases in Egypt. Changes in the H3N2 seasonal influenza viruses, which have affected the protection conferred by the current vaccine, are also of particular concern. http://www.who.int/influenza/publications/warningsignals201502/en/

Another case for the One Health approach… U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal - Volume 21, Number 4—April 2015 Dato VM. Lives of a cell: 40 years later, a third interpretation [another dimension]. Emerg Infect Dis [Internet]. 2015 Apr [date cited]. http://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid2104.110793 DOI: 10.3201/eid2104.110793 Another Dimension: Lives of a Cell: 40 Years Later, A Third Interpretation By Virginia M. Dato, MD, MPH Author affiliation: Pennsylvania Department of Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (USA)  “... All 3 interpretations of lives of a cell—the once independent lives of a single cell, the many lives (human, animal, bacterium, fungus, virus) of the earth, and the lives of a bacterial cell that travels throughout the earth—strongly suggest a need for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations, i.e., “One Health.” The One Health Initiative—One World, One Medicine, One Health—has as its foundation the work of Dr. Thomas and many other great scientists. The One Health vision is to improve (and help save) “the lives of all species—human and animal—through the integration of human medicine, veterinary medicine and environmental science” (http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/mission.php). Publicity about recalls may leave the perception that our food supply is riskier than before PulseNet. On the contrary, following the lives of a cell leads to a new understanding of disease mechanisms. As many diverse professionals work together and pool knowledge to develop economical solutions, our food supply becomes safer. This is the “real high technology” that Lewis Thomas described in The Technology of Medicine (7). “When it becomes available it is relatively inexpensive, simple, efficacious, expeditious and easy to deliver”—and is thus One Health in action (8). …” To read complete article see: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/4/11-0793_article Note: Dr. Dato is a member of the One Health Initiative team’s Honorary Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php

Duke University – ONE HEALTH (USA)   http://sites.globalhealth.duke.edu/dukeonehealth/ What is One Health? With rapid transportation of people, animals, and food, now the norm in many world economies, we are facing new complex zoonotic diseases and food safety problems on a scale never seen before. To respond to and control these problems, we will need new approaches. One Health, an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses animal, human, and environmental health, has been embraced as a way forward by many groups of professional experts. It is a worldwide strategy for advancing health care in humans, animals and the environment through communication and collaboration between multiple disciplines with the realization that human, animal, and environmental health are all connected. The Duke One Health team serves as a base for the rapidly expanding Duke research portfolio in One Health, as well as a hub for encouraging ongoing campus-wide research activities in this field. Duke has an expansive academic and clinical network both domestically and abroad. This team provides a strong, interdisciplinary base for ongoing One Health activities across this network.

Osterholm, mto@umn.edu. 1.         Editor Michael J. Imperiale, University of Michigan Next Section ABSTRACT Available evidence demonstrates that direct patient contact and contact with infectious body fluids are the primary modes for Ebola virus transmission, but this is based on a limited number of studies. Key areas requiring further study include (i) the role of aerosol transmission (either via large droplets or small particles in the vicinity of source patients), (ii) the role of environmental contamination and fomite transmission, (iii) the degree to which minimally or mildly ill persons transmit infection, (iv) how long clinically relevant infectiousness persists, (v) the role that “superspreading events” may play in driving transmission dynamics, (vi) whether strain differences or repeated serial passage in outbreak settings can impact virus transmission, and (vii) what role sylvatic or domestic animals could play in outbreak propagation, particularly during major epidemics such as the 2013–2015 West Africa situation. In this review, we address what we know and what we do not know about Ebola virus transmission. We also hypothesize that Ebola viruses have the potential to be respiratory pathogens with primary respiratory spread. http://mbio.asm.org/content/6/2/e00137-15.full Note:  Drs. Michael T.

One Health Swedens One Health Journal (IEE) “About One Health” and zoonotic disease information … The concept of health in One Health and some practical implications for research and education: what is One Health? Henrik Lerner, PhD1* and Charlotte Berg, DVM, PhD2 Abstract “From a strict biological point of view, humans are just one species among other species, albeit one with very special capacities, characteristics, and skills. Among scientists, it is generally acknowledged that we share many features with other animal species, which are certainly relevant when the concepts of health and disease are discussed. The term ‘One Health’ is used in many different contexts and by people with varying backgrounds. However, there appears to be some confusion as to what the term really means, and it is used in a wide range of contexts, often including or bordering concepts such as infection biology, contagious diseases, zoonotic infections, evolutionary medicine, comparative medicine, and translational medicine. Without claiming to present the one and only true interpretation, we will argue for a wide approach using the ‘umbrella’ depiction developed by One Health Sweden. We argue that this one should, compared to other demarcations, be more useful to science. We will also analyze the concept of health on different levels: individual, population, and ecosystem health, and describe how these levels inherently influence each other for both humans and animals. Both these choices are normative and have practical consequences for research and education, a way of reasoning which we develop further in this paper. Finally, we conclude that the choice of term for the approach might be normative in deciding which disciplines or parts of disciplines that may be included.” Please read complete article at http://www.infectionecologyandepidemiology.net/index.php/iee/article/view/25300 and First evidence of Seoul hantavirus in the wild rat population in the Netherlands First evidence of Seoul hantavirus in the wild rat population in the Netherlands | Verner-Carlsson | Infection Ecology & Epidemiology  http://www.infectionecologyandepidemiology.net/index.php/iee/article/view/27215 See Press release:  First Evidence of Seoul Hantavirus Found in Wild Rat Population in the Netherlands | Co-Action Publishing  http://www.co-action.net/2015/02/researchers-discover-first-evidence-of-seoul-hantavirus-in-wild-rat-population-in-the-netherlands/

Important One Health research activities -  See link below Stanford Medicine » School of Medicine » Departments » Comparative Medicine http://med.stanford.edu/compmed/ “Comparative Medicine is a distinct discipline of experimental medicine that uses animal models of human and animal disease in translational and biomedical research. The Department of Comparative Medicine at Stanford is an academic department whose faculty teach at the undergraduate, graduate, professional and post graduate levels. The Departments faculty are also engaged in collaborative and comparative research, with animal model expertise and programs in veterinary pathology, pain and anesthesia, rodent reproductive biology, infectious disease, cancer, bioengineering and neuroscience. In addition, the veterinary faculty in the Department of Comparative Medicine have oversight responsibility for the campus-wide animal research program and provide clinical service in the Veterinary Service Center. Our mission is to advance human and animal health through outstanding research, veterinary care and training. “ Between animal and human and medicine, there is no dividing line---nor should there be.
