Durr, Jennifer Barr, Meng Yu, Kerryne Graham, Owen J. Williams, Ghazi Kayali, David Smith, Malik Peiris, John S. Mackenzie, Lin-Fa Wang http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352771415000129 Abstract - One Health doi: 10.1016/j.onehlt.2015.10.003 Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infections continue to be a serious emerging disease problem internationally with well over 1000 cases and a major outbreak outside of the Middle East region. While the hypothesis that dromedary camels are the likely major source of MERS-CoV infection in humans is gaining acceptance, conjecture continues over the original natural reservoir host(s) and specifically the role of bats in the emergence of the virus. Dromedary camels were imported to Australia, principally between 1880 and 1907 and have since become a large feral population inhabiting extensive parts of the continent. Here we report that during a focussed surveillance study, no serological evidence was found for the presence of MERS-CoV in the camels in the Australian population. This finding presents various hypotheses about the timing of the emergence and spread of MERS-CoV throughout populations of camels in Africa and Asia, which can be partially resolved by testing sera from camels from the original source region, which we have inferred was mainly northwestern Pakistan. In addition, we identify bat species which overlap (or neighbour) the range of the Australian camel population with a higher likelihood of carrying CoVs of the same lineage as MERS-CoV. Both of these proposed follow-on studies are examples of “proactive surveillance”, a concept that has particular relevance to a One Health approach to emerging zoonotic diseases with a complex epidemiology and aetiology.

An outstanding One Health item...published on NOVA Next – PBS http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/  How Vietnam Mastered Infectious Disease Control    By Joanne Silberner on Thu, 05 Nov 2015  “It’s the winter of 2003, and Long Thanh Ngo, head of a government biological testing lab in Dong Nai province, watches helplessly as a highly infectious avian influenza virus begins ripping through Vietnam. In a nation   heavily dependent on poultry for protein, tens of millions of chickens and ducks are either killed by the disease or culled to prevent it from spreading. The virus even makes the jump to humans. Ninety-three people in Vietnam who plucked or cleaned infected birds or somehow came in contact with their droppings get sick. Mostly, the illnesses begin as normal flu—fevers, aches, pains. Forty-two people develop severe respiratory symptoms and die. Other Asian countries have cases as well, but Vietnam is the hardest hit. ...” SEE complete article:  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/next/body/one-health-vietnam/ or click on attachment.

Livestock Models in Translational Science    “This issue of the ILAR Journal focuses on livestock models in translational medicine. Livestock models of selected human diseases present important advantages as compared with rodent models for translating fundamental breakthroughs in biology to useful preventatives and therapeutics for humans. Livestock reflect the complexity of applying medical advances in an outbred species. … Conducting translational research using livestock models requires special facilities and researchers with expertise in livestock. There are many institutions in the world with experienced researchers and facilities designed for livestock research; primarily associated with colleges of agriculture and veterinary medicine or government laboratories.”  ILAR Journal, Volume 56 Issue 1 2015 -  http://ilarjournal.oxfordjournals.org/content/56/1.toc   Issue Editors: James A.

“One Health” public affairs communications appreciation essential for advancing global health via a One Health approach… Vet. Sci. 2015, 2(3), 135-149; doi:10.3390/vetsci2030135 From “One Health” to “One Communication”: The Contribution of Communication in Veterinary Medicine to Public Health Micaela Cipolla, DVM, PhD, Luigi Bonizzi, PhD, and Alfonso Zecconi, DVM Department of Veterinary Science and Public Health (DIVET), Università degli Studi di Milano, via Celoria 10, 20133 Milano, Italy Published: July 15, 2015 View Full-Text   |   Download PDF [124 KB, uploaded 15 July 2015]   No Abstract “Despite the fact that health communication is a discipline developed only recently, its importance in human medicine is well recognized. However, it is less considered in veterinary medicine, even if it has the potential to improve public health because of the role of veterinary medicine in public health. For this reason, an One Health approach is useful for communication as well. This approach leads to a “One Communication” concept, which is the result of the synergy in communicative efforts both in human and in veterinary medicine. Our analysis explores the potential of communication in several veterinary fields: institutions, food safety, companion animal and food-producing animal practice, pharmacology and drugs, wildlife fauna and environment. In almost all the areas of veterinary activity communication can contribute to human health. It takes many forms and use several channels, and this variety of communicative opportunities represent a challenge for veterinarians. For this reason, the communication course should be included in the curricula of Veterinary Medicine Schools. As One Health, One Communication is a strategy for expanding collaborations in health communication and it will enhance public health.” This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Integrating interdisciplinary methodologies for One Health: goat farm re-implicated as the probable source of an urban Q fever outbreak, the Netherlands, 2009 Ladbury et al. BMC Infectious Diseases (2015) 15:372 - Open Access Abstract “Background: In spring 2008, a goat farm experiencing Q fever abortions (“Farm A”) was identified as the probable source of a human Q fever outbreak in a Dutch town. In 2009, a larger outbreak with 347 cases occurred in the town, despite no clinical Q fever being reported from any local farm. ... Conclusions: We conclude that the probable source of the 2009 outbreak was the same farm implicated in 2008, despite animal health indicators being absent. Veterinary and public health professionals should consider farms with past as well as current history of Q fever as potential sources of human outbreaks.” Read full text http://www.biomedcentral.com/content/pdf/s12879-015-1083-9.pdf   Provided to One Health Initiative website October 8, 2015 by: Robert E.

Recently released with One Health Educational recommendations: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. 2015 Envisioning the future of health professional education: workshop summary. The National Academies Press, Washington, DC (USA) Building a Global Health Workforce “Key Messages Identified by Individual Speakers and Participants • Arguments for the curricular redesign toward a One Health concept include the growing risk of disease caused by overcrowding and urbanization, changes in food production and supply systems, and extreme weather conditions, environmental degradation, and the inappropriate use of antibiotics. Solely focusing on human or animal or environmental health would not set a foundation for learning about or addressing these 21st-century challenges. (Fox, Colwell, Olsen, Kahn) • Learners are being prepared for a health system that no longer exists. (Scrimshaw)   • There needs to be a functional model for educators to follow that would quickly capture the attention of leaders who possess the power and the money to create real change. Community-based education could be the broad, overarching construct from which everything else follows. (Cox)” Note: Dr. James G.

World Veterinary Association CELEBRATES THE WORLD ANIMAL DAY - 4 OCTOBER 2015 The World Veterinary Association (WVA) recognizes October 4 as World Animal Day for the importance of animals in enhancing the quality and richness of human lives. download doc  and see http://www.worldvet.org/news.php?item=261   Animals positively influence the lives of everyone around the world either directly or indirectly. They balance our commonly shared environment and ecosystems, provide humans with companionship, and act as adjuncts in therapy and rehabilitation programs for people with disabilities. Animals work to cultivate fields for crops, provide a livelihood for families, and transport goods from place to place. Animals provide food and clothing as well as new scientific knowledge and possibilities for advancements for human and veterinary medicine. Animals also remind us of the importance of conservation of global biodiversity, which is so imperative to human survival. Finally, animals are a vital part of the animal-human-environmental interface and the One Health concept. The WVA Position on the Role of the Veterinarian in Animal Welfare cites important guidelines for improving the welfare of all animals. Let World Animal Day remind each of us that animals enrich the lives of human beings everywhere and that all animals should be treated humanely and with compassion during their lifetimes, whatever their role in our lives.

Avian Influenza Update: The Lull before the Storm? September 22, 2015 A state-by-state analysis of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) H5 virus outbreaks indicates that the outbreak in the U.S. is over. However, the damage that has been done is considerable. For example, in Iowa alone more than 30 million hens and 1.5 million turkeys have been killed, resulting in a loss of half of the states poultry flock over a period of six months, as well as an estimated economic loss to the state of $1.2 billion (For further information, see: www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2015/08/report-finds-12-billion-iowa-avian-flu-damage). The situation remains disturbing. Already, more than 48 million birds have been killed throughout the country between December 2014 and June 2015, with an economic loss of some $3.3 billion. Furthermore, as Marilyn McKenna has pointed out, while the flu was originally brought to the US by wild birds migrating down from Canada, most of the spread within the US was due to people and vehicles inadvertently carrying the virus from farm to farm. Extensive biosecurity measures were being taken on a state-by-state and farm-by-farm basis to try to prevent spread of these HPAI viruses. However, it is not over yet; and Dr. John Clifford, Deputy Administrator of APHIS has pointed out: Its very likely that wild birds will carry the virus with them when they begin migrating south in the fall. See phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2015/07/15/bird-flu-2/ ... ...“This outbreak of HPAI caused by several H5 strains is an indication of the need to integrate human, animal and environmental policies in a coherent One Health perspective. Attempts to focus on necessary emergency measures are now essential.”  Please read entire article at http://www.ceezad.org/resources/index.html Also see http://www.wattagnet.com/articles/24312.
