Important Implications to One Health... “...The big idea is to gradually build a global atlas of most of the planets naturally occurring potentially zoonotic viruses by systematically creating the missing maps. Broadening the knowledge base on viral sequences, geographical ranges, and host distributions would provide vital intelligence about humanitys formidable microbial enemy. The three specific benefits that the project would provide are early warning of future threats, data to improve prevention and reduction of these threats, and inputs for advance preparation of responses for unexpected outbreaks of unknown diseases.” Do we need a Global Virome Project?

NATURE,  International Journal of Science Our Journals WORLD VIEW 13 August 2019 Pandemic bonds: designed to fail in Ebola The World Bank’s funding scheme for disease outbreaks drained potential resources from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, says Olga Jonas.  Please see: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02415-9 “Increasing surveillance, diagnostics and other capacities for response to outbreaks will do more than flashy financing schemes to reduce threats from infectious disease — including antimicrobial resistance. World Bank analyses show that poor countries’ investments in core veterinary and human public-health systems bring returns of 25–88% annually. The World Bank can provide robust financing and operational support for such investment; it should make this a priority.” Provided by: Olga Jonas  |  Senior Fellow [A longstanding One Health Supporter/Advocate] Harvard Global Health Institute; 42 Church Street, 2nd floor; Cambridge, MA 02138; o: +1-617-384-5421 / m: +1- 202-469-2727; e: : olga_jonas@harvard.edu / s: olga.jonas; Twitter:  @olga_02138

The AMA has joined other international health organisations, including the American Medical Association, the British Medical Association, and Doctors for the Environment Australia, in labelling it a health emergency. The Federal Council recognises climate change as a health emergency, with clear scientific evidence indicating severe impacts for our patients and communities now and into the future, the federal council says. … https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/6363163/doctors-declare-climate-change-emergency/?cs=14231&utm_campaign=latestnews&utm_medium=home&utm_source=website

DUKE (USA) ONE HEALTH Newsletter - ISSUE 18 September 2019 ... Duke One Health Team Members Publish a Commentary on Zoonotic Influenza Viruses in Domestic Animals  Recently, Duke One Health team members Laura Borkenhagen, Mai-Juan Ma, and Greg Gray and Professor Mo Salman (Colorado State University) published an important review article in the in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases. They reviewed the risk of human infections with influenza A viruses circulating in poultry, swine, horses, cats, and dogs and concluded that, while all have risk of contributing to a pandemic, the greatest risk now seems to be from swine viruses. Their findings and conclusion are novel and a bit of a departure from the mainstream thinking, which is frequently most concerned about avian influenza viruses.

Cheetah Conservation Fund and Foundation for Human Rabies Education and Eradication Are Providing Rabies Prevention Education and Mobile Vaccination Clinics in Namibia Written by: Jj Muehlhausen, Cheetah Conservation Fund The World Health Organization (WHO) reports show more than 59,000 deaths a year from rabies with high occurrences predominantly in Africa and Asia. The main problem with rabies all over the world is the lack of education about the disease and especially in rural areas because of so many feral dogs. For this reason, the Foundation for Human Rabies Education and Eradication (FHREE) took action. Since 1998, FHREE has participated in providing rabies prevention education and canine population control programs. In 2018, FHREE teamed up with the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) to further their efforts. CCF is a world-renowned international field research and education facility in Namibia. They provide research, education and conservation programs throughout Namibia to save cheetahs and other endangered species. CCF host Future Farmers of Africa and Future Conservationist of Africa training at their centre and move about the country to reach thousands of farmers, students and educators each year through their education and training programs. Rabies is a problem affecting the wildlife in Namibia. ...
