“By creating a space that welcomes people and animals, we can better address the health needs of people in Seattle who need shelter.” -*Peter Rabinowitz, M.D. ’82, MPH A community partnership, including University of washington (UW) and washington state university (WSU)—USA, cares for people and their animals Bailey is itchy. And though this is probably too much information, his stools are runny. It’s likely he needs some vitamins, too. Like many humans going to their family doctor, Bailey — a dapper dog sporting a skull-and-crossbones bow tie — has a number of issues that require attention. And Bailey is why a young man named Promo — who has some healthcare needs of his own— is at the One Health Clinic, a collaboration among New Horizons Ministries, Neighborcare Health, the University of Washington and Washington State University. It’s clear he loves his dog. “I’ve had him for 10 years,” says Promo, running his hands through Bailey’s thick ginger coat. “He’s so soft, isn’t he?” SEE https://uwmedmagazine.org/spring-2019/inseparable/ Note: *Dr. Rabinowitz is a physician member of the One Health Initiative Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php.

ISSUE 15 June 2019 Duke One Health Project Updates Duke University Welcomes Scholars from Ten Nations to The One Health Training Program     From May 16 through June 7th, more than 35 international scholars from ten countries will receive graduate training in One Health at Duke University. The Program is hosted by Duke Universitys Division of Infectious Diseases, Global Health Institute and Nicholas School of the Environment. The program is in its 12th year, led by Duke Professor Gregory C. Gray. The primary goal of the Duke One Health Training Program is to introduce trainees to the importance of One Health and encourage professionals from various countries and disciplines to work together to solve complex public health and infectious disease problems.    Read more

Fellowships awarded for One Health projects on food safety, zoonotic disease and Alzheimer’s disease Funds allocated to researchers conducting research around the Globe Researchers working across the wide range of One Health have been awarded fellowship funds to allow them to travel to progress their understanding in their research areas. Three fellowships, in total worth over £25,000, have been awarded to support research into food safety, the zoonotic disease – trypanosomiasis, and Alzheimer’s disease. The fellowships are awarded by the Soulsby Foundation –  a charity that supports researchers, particularly those early in their career, working on One Health topics. Harriet Auty, based at the SRUC in Inverness, UK, is using the funds to investigate how research into animal and human African trypanosomiasis can inform evidence-based policy on controlling the pathogen. Auty, who will be travelling to Tanzania, highlighted the importance of controlling the disease, saying: ‘Animal African trypanosomiasis is a major constraint on agriculture and food security. Human African trypanosomiasis is fatal without treatment and under-reporting and misdiagnosis are common.’ Lorena Sordo, who is currently studying for a PhD at the University of Edinburgh, UK, will use the fellowship to travel to the USA to learn a methodology to allow her to further her studies looking at cats with an Alzheimer’s-like disease. Sordo explains why the cats are a good potential model for human Alzheimer’s disease: ‘In people with Alzheimer’s disease, the accumulation of proteins beta-amyloid and phosphorylated tau is believed to lead to cognitive decline. We have found that cats naturally accumulate these proteins and it is our belief that by quantifying this deposition and extension in the cats’ brains, we will be able to further our understanding on Alzheimer’s disease and its progression. Lian Thomas, from the University of Liverpool, will be travelling to Nairobi, Kenya, to investigate and quantify the risk to consumers from multiple potential hazards in pork that is supplied through different value chains of varying levels of intensification and organisation. Emphasising the multi-disciplinary nature of the study Thomas said the research would include ’biological sample taking and laboratory diagnostics and the collection and analysis of qualitative socio-economic data.’ She adds that ‘a participatory approach will then be used to design effective and acceptable food safety interventions and understand the impacts of these on the value chain and wider society.’ Chair of the trustees, Judy MacArthur Clark, said: ‘The Soulsby Fellowship offers the opportunity for young veterinary and medical scientists of high potential to deliver really impactful projects in the field of One Health globally.  In just a few years, we have learnt that remarkable projects can be delivered by remarkable people on a relatively small budget.’ She added ‘This year’s fellows are great examples of the talent Lord Soulsby can inspire through the Foundation named after him.’ Notes for editors This year three fellowships have been awarded by the Soulsby Foundation. For further information on the projects and current and past recipients of the fellowships please contact the Soulsby Foundation.

Dairy source foods play an important part in providing nutrient and energy dense sources of calories and establishing Bifidobacterium as a keystone species in the gut for positive health outcomes in infants and children. In developed countries, dairy products have a high food safety record when pasteurized and properly processed. However, when milk is consumed unpasteurized, as often occurs in developing countries where regulation and oversight of the dairy industry is lacking, dairy can serve as a vector for zoonotic transmission of disease and can contain adulterants such as antibiotic residues. Here we provide an overview for the importance of dairy source foods for nutrition and with a One Health perspective and discuss the historical events that have resulted in a high standard of dairy food safety in the United States. This review article covers the Origins of One Health, the role of milk in transmission of disease, management practices and regulations to ensure safe dairy products reach consumers, current challenges facing the dairy industry and impacts on public health, and how these standards can be employed in low and middle income countries to improve public health, nutrition and economic benefits to farmers.
