“The value of a One Health approach was stressed, including a parallel prioritization processes for animal health. Such an effort would support research and development to prevent and control animal diseases minimising spill-over and enhancing food security. The possible utility of animal vaccines for preventing public health emergencies was also noted.”   http://www.who.int/blueprint/priority-diseases/en/#.WoHmhcOoiSg.twitter Top epidemic-prone diseases without sufficient counter measures 12 February 2018 – World Health Organization (WHO) releases its 2018 list of priority pathogens that have the potential to cause a public health emergency and which have no, or insufficient, countermeasures. WHO calls on the medical community to unite in greater R&D efforts for these 8 diseases to develop treatments and vaccines to help control outbreaks.

Of dogs and hookworms: man’s best friend and his parasites as a model for translational biomedical research Catherine Shepherd1Email author, Phurpa Wangchuk1 and Alex Loukas1Email author - Open-Access: Parasites & Vectors201811:59 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-018-2621-2 ©  The Author(s) Published: 25 January 2018 Abstract We present evidence that the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma caninum) is underutilised in the study of host-parasite interactions, particularly as a proxy for the human-hookworm relationship. The inability to passage hookworms through all life stages in vitro means that adult stage hookworms have to be harvested from the gut of their definitive hosts for ex vivo research. This makes study of the human-hookworm interface difficult for technical and ethical reasons. The historical association of humans, dogs and hookworms presents a unique triad of positive evolutionary pressure to drive the A. caninum-canine interaction to reflect that of the human-hookworm relationship. Here we discuss A. caninum as a proxy for human hookworm infection and situate this hookworm model within the current research agenda, including the various ‘omics’ applications and the search for next generation biologics to treat a plethora of human diseases. Historically, the dog hookworm has been well described on a physiological and biochemical level, with an increasing understanding of its role as a human zoonosis. With its similarity to human hookworm, the recent publications of hookworm genomes and other omics databases, as well as the ready availability of these parasites for ex vivo culture, the dog hookworm presents itself as a valuable tool for discovery and translational research. https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13071-018-2621-2   Also see a “ONE HEALTH” Editorial Published in Parasites and Vectors 2:36 (12 August 2009) entitled ONE HEALTH and parasitology https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1186/1756-3305-2-36?site=parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com

Plant-made vaccines and reagents for the One Health initiative Edward Peter Rybicki Biopharming Research Unit, Department of Molecular & Cell Biology, University of Cape Town; Institute of Infectious Disease and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa Correspondence ed.rybicki@uct.ac.za http://orcid.org/0000-0001-8024-9911 Pages 2912-2917 | Accepted author version posted online: 28 Aug 2017, Published online: 18 Oct 2017 ABSTRACT The One Health initiative is increasingly becoming a prominent discussion topic in animal and human health, with its focus on prevention of spread of zoonotic diseases, both in animals, and from animals to humans. An important part of One Health is that diagnostics and vaccines for diseases may be the same thing – and be used for both humans and animals. One potential problem standing in the way of wider adoption of One Health principles, though, is that use of conventional cell fermentation systems for production of the recombinant proteins that could be used as diagnostics or vaccines is often expensive and is not easily scalable. A solution to this may be the use of plants or plant cells as bioreactors: molecular farming, or the production of biologics in plants, is now a well-established science with many proofs of principle and important proofs of efficacy for especially animal vaccines. This review discusses how molecular farming could enable important advances in One Health, using as examples plant-made vacccines, reagents and therapeutics for influenza viruses, ebolaviruses, rabies virus, bunyaviruses and flaviviruses. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21645515.2017.1356497
