A health hazard for people may likely be a health hazard for animals. For example, smoking is not only harmful to people; it’s harmful to pets too. Medical advances in understanding and treating a disease in one species, such as heart disease in people, may be applied to other species. And a change in the environment can affect all living things, from people to animals to plants. The One Health Initiative recognizes this inter-connectedness and advocates a comprehensive approach to health and environmental problems versus a piecemeal approach. By building bridges between physicians, veterinarians, environmental scientists, and public health professionals, the initiative aims to “promote, improve, and defend the health and well-being of all species.”1 “No one discipline or sector of society has enough knowledge and resources to prevent emergence or resurgence of diseases in todays globalized world. Through mutual collaborations, veterinarians and physicians can accomplish so much more to advance the health of humans and animals,” said *Dr. Bernadette Dunham, former director of FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Dunham is currently a professor at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where her focus is on One Health issues. ...” Page Last Updated: 03/18/2019 SEE: https://www.fda.gov/animalveterinary/resourcesforyou/animalhealthliteracy/ucm278139.htm Note: *Member, One Health Initiative Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php

**Auburn University’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences is now offering a One Health online graduate certificate program for public health workers and educators.** 3/28/2019 Media contacts: Jamie Anderson, School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, 334-844-9248 (jla0015@auburn.edu); or Preston Sparks, Office of Communications and Marketing, 334-844-9999 (pjs0027@auburn.edu) Auburn University (USA) now offering One Health online graduate certification AUBURN, Ala. (USA) -- Auburn University is offering individuals the opportunity to earn an online graduate certificate in One Health, a program that emphasizes the integration of human, veterinary and environmental sciences. The program is offered by the Auburn’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences in partnership with the university’s College of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s School of Public Health. The 15-credit hour online certificate examines public health threats, including infectious diseases, and assess strategies for creating sustainable local and global ecosystems. The concept, promoted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on the premise that health-related interactions among people, animals and the environment have profound influences on disease risk, transmission and prediction efforts. An estimated 60 percent of human infectious diseases and 70 percent of emerging human diseases have their source in domestic or wild animals. These zoonotic diseases include rabies, West Nile virus, Rift Valley fever and brucellosis, among others. In some cases, animal health can serve as a warning for human disease transmission. The One Health online graduate certificate is one of the first of its kind, providing students and professionals with the opportunity to gain graduate training in interdisciplinary health approaches through distance learning,” said Dr. Sarah Zohdy, assistant professor of disease ecology at Auburn University. Zohdy, who is known internationally for her research on vector-borne disease, said the skill sets and knowledge acquired within the program will set graduates apart from others in the workforce, as they will be prepared to address big picture questions at the intersection of human, animal and environmental health. “This program is ideal for individuals from any academic background who are interested in working toward a healthier world,” said Zohdy. The significance of human-animal-environmental interactions has long been recognized, but factors such as climate change, population growth, land use and alterations in disease vector ecology are increasingly causing volatility among linkages of people, animals and the environment. “The Auburn University One Health online graduate program clearly represents an area of crucial need and importance within our state as well as nationally and globally,” said Dr. Janaki Alavalapati, dean of the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. Online professional certification programs require 15 credit hours of online coursework, which can also be applied toward the pursuit of a master’s degree. Students must apply through the Auburn University Graduate School; however, there is no Graduate Record Examination, or GRE, required. For more information about the certificate program, contact School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences Graduate Program Coordinator Rebecca Masic at 334-844-8027 or via email at rbm0010@auburn.edu. The One Health program is one of three online graduate certificate programs, along with Restoration Ecology and Forest Finance and Investment, now offered by the School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences.

  Published by: Royal Society Emerging infectious diseases and biological invasions: a call for a One Health collaboration in science and management Published:13 March 2019 https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.181577. Abstract The study and management of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and of biological invasions both address the ecology of human-associated biological phenomena in a rapidly changing world. However, the two fields work mostly in parallel rather than in concert. This review explores how the general phenomenon of an organism rapidly increasing in range or abundance is caused, highlights the similarities and differences between research on EIDs and invasions, and discusses shared management insights and approaches. EIDs can arise by: (i) crossing geographical barriers due to human-mediated dispersal, (ii) crossing compatibility barriers due to evolution, and (iii) lifting of environmental barriers due to environmental change. All these processes can be implicated in biological invasions, but only the first defines them. Research on EIDs is embedded within the One Health concept—the notion that human, animal and ecosystem health are interrelated and that holistic approaches encompassing all three components are needed to respond to threats to human well-being. We argue that for sustainable development, biological invasions should be explicitly considered within One Health. Management goals for the fields are the same, and direct collaborations between invasion scientists, disease ecologists and epidemiologists on modelling, risk assessment, monitoring and management would be mutually beneficial. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rsos.181577?fbclid=IwAR1FKoBzvMD4--T3mh_t9WmaACy_ZS6Swv_sLHz645ESf9TjME54w0z5508

One Health Initiative team (OHI), One Health Commission (OHC) and 68 other Health Oriented Organizations sign Supporting Letter RE: “Pandemic and All-Hazards & Advancing Innovation Act (PAHPAI, H.R. 269)” to U.S. Congressional Leadership Today     March 22, 2019 On behalf of the undersigned organizations, representing public health, healthcare providers, emergency managers, environmental health, biotechnology innovators, and researchers, we are again writing to encourage you to advance the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness & Advancing Innovation Act (PAHPAI, H.R. 269), which overwhelmingly passed the House of Representatives in January. A similar version passed the Senate Health Education, Labor & Pensions (HELP) Committee last year. The HELP and Energy & Commerce Committees have made tremendous, bipartisan progress on this important legislation, and it would be a setback for our national health security to further delay reauthorization. The disaster relief package being considered by Congress would be a logical vehicle for PAHPAI. ...
