Countries agree next steps to combat global health threat by MERS-CoV 27 September 2017 “Critical next steps to accelerate the response to the global public health threat posed by Middle-East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have been agreed by representatives from the Ministries of Health and Ministries of Agriculture of affected and at risk countries, and experts. The virus, which circulates in dromedary camels without causing visible disease, can be fatal for humans. ...” “It is in our common interest to address the disease in the human-animal interface, work across sectors and disciplines, together for the sake of our shared goals, healthy people and healthy animals” said Dr Ahmed El Idrissi, Senior Animal Health Officer, FAO.  “In doing so we recognize the importance of a One Health approach to health threats of animal origin”.

The 5th International One Health Congress offers early career scientists a unique opportunity to present their latest work, and to meet and foster collaborations with the international One Health community in a four days high-level congress. The Open Call for Congress Fellowship Applications has been launched on 1 August 2017. The competition is open to participants from all over the globe. One Health Fellows will receive financial support to cover the registration fee, accommodation for the duration of the conference, and travel (economy class). If you’re interested in applying for the One Health Fellowships, check the eligibility and application guidelines and download the application form from www.onehealthcongress.com. The 5th International One Health Congress will be held in Saskatoon, Canada, from 22 to 25 June 2018. To capture the multifaceted One Health paradigm, the Congress will have distinct program tracks on One Health Science (zoonoses, climate change, food and water safety), antimicrobial resistance and translational science. The organizers recognize the critical role the next generation of scientists, care providers and policy makers will have in developing and implementing measures to mitigate the effects of current and future challenges to public, animal and environmental health. They have therefore created a special fund to ensure that these decision makers of tomorrow from all parts of the world can attend the Congress. The 5th International One Health Congress is organized by the One Health Platform and the University of Saskatchewan, in close collaboration with the Southern African Centre for Infectious Disease Surveillance (SACIDS), CDC Kenya and One Health Eastern & Central Africa (OHCEA).

Rapid test may determine whether an antibiotic combats a given infection Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a potential new tactic for rapidly determining whether an antibiotic combats a given infection, thus hastening effective medical treatment and limiting the development of drug-resistant bacteria. Their method can quickly sense mechanical fluctuations of bacterial cells and any changes induced by an antibiotic. ... by Press Release September 22, 2017 SEE http://outbreaknewstoday.com/rapid-test-may-determine-whether-antibiotic-combats-given-infection-40971/

A system dynamics approach to understanding the One Health concept Tai Xie,  Wenbao Liu, Benjamin D. Anderson,  Xiaorong Liu,  Gregory C. Gray Published: September 6, 2017 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0184430  “As a milestone in the history of One Health, the symbolic umbrella [http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/OneHealth2], developed by One Health Sweden in cooperation with the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono Team, illustrates the broad One Health scope.  According to the umbrella, the goal of One Heath is to promote a worldwide strategy for the well-being in all aspects of health of people, animals and the environment.”   Abstract There have been many terms used to describe the One Health concept, including movement, strategy, framework, agenda, approach, among others. However, the inter-relationships of the disciplines engaged in the One Health concept have not been well described. To identify and better elucidate the internal feedback mechanisms of One Health, we employed a system dynamics approach. First, a systematic literature review was conducted via searches in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and ProQuest with the search terms: ‘One Health’ and (concept* or approach*). In addition, we used the HistCite® tool to add significant articles on One Health to the library. Then, of the 2368 articles identified, 19 were selected for evaluating the inter-relationships of disciplines engaged in One Health. Herein, we report a visually rich, theoretical model regarding interactions of various disciplines and complex problem descriptors engaged in One Health problem solving. This report provides a conceptual framework for future descriptions of the interdisciplinary engagements involved in One Health.   See: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0184430
