Excellent One Health Program Practiced at University of Pennsylvania’s College of Veterinary Medicine (“Penn Vet”) – USA Philadelphia, PA  The Future of Veterinary Medicine “At Penn Vet, we are driven from the perspective of One Health: humans, the environment, animals, living together harmoniously. Uniquely trained in comparative biology, veterinarians are the only members of the clinical profession – including human medical professionals – who see many different species, and understand medicine fundamentally such that all species benefit. Veterinarians approach medicine with a global perspective, supporting public health and making a huge impact on peoples well-being.

PLoS Biol 13(4): e1002131. doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1002131         Abstract “The field of aging research has progressed rapidly over the past few decades. Genetic modulators of aging rate that are conserved over a broad evolutionary distance have now been identified. Several physiological and environmental interventions have also been shown to influence the rate of aging in organisms ranging from yeast to mammals. Here we briefly review these conserved pathways and interventions and highlight some key unsolved challenges that remain. Although the molecular mechanisms by which these modifiers of aging act are only partially understood, interventions to slow aging are nearing clinical application, and it is likely that we will begin to reap the benefits of aging research prior to solving all of the mysteries that the biology of aging has to offer.” Drs.

One Health challenges explored in working paper series What drives differing responses to zoonotic diseases and is then used to justify different interventions and responses to disease is explored in a new working paper series from the Dynamic Drivers of Disease in Africa Consortium (www.driversofdisease.org). The series includes papers exploring the challenges to implementing One Health approaches to disease. All seven working papers in the series can be accessed from the STEPS Centre website (http://steps-centre.org/publication/dddac-pol-econ-wp-series/).

World Health Organization Warning signals from the volatile world of influenza viruses February 2015 The current global influenza situation is characterized by a number of trends that must be closely monitored. These include: an increase in the variety of animal influenza viruses co-circulating and exchanging genetic material, giving rise to novel strains; continuing cases of human H7N9 infections in China; and a recent spurt of human H5N1 cases in Egypt. Changes in the H3N2 seasonal influenza viruses, which have affected the protection conferred by the current vaccine, are also of particular concern. http://www.who.int/influenza/publications/warningsignals201502/en/

Another case for the One Health approach… U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal - Volume 21, Number 4—April 2015 Dato VM. Lives of a cell: 40 years later, a third interpretation [another dimension]. Emerg Infect Dis [Internet]. 2015 Apr [date cited]. http://dx.doi.org/10.3201/eid2104.110793 DOI: 10.3201/eid2104.110793 Another Dimension: Lives of a Cell: 40 Years Later, A Third Interpretation By Virginia M. Dato, MD, MPH Author affiliation: Pennsylvania Department of Health, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, (USA)  “... All 3 interpretations of lives of a cell—the once independent lives of a single cell, the many lives (human, animal, bacterium, fungus, virus) of the earth, and the lives of a bacterial cell that travels throughout the earth—strongly suggest a need for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaborations, i.e., “One Health.” The One Health Initiative—One World, One Medicine, One Health—has as its foundation the work of Dr. Thomas and many other great scientists. The One Health vision is to improve (and help save) “the lives of all species—human and animal—through the integration of human medicine, veterinary medicine and environmental science” (http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/mission.php). Publicity about recalls may leave the perception that our food supply is riskier than before PulseNet. On the contrary, following the lives of a cell leads to a new understanding of disease mechanisms. As many diverse professionals work together and pool knowledge to develop economical solutions, our food supply becomes safer. This is the “real high technology” that Lewis Thomas described in The Technology of Medicine (7). “When it becomes available it is relatively inexpensive, simple, efficacious, expeditious and easy to deliver”—and is thus One Health in action (8). …” To read complete article see: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/21/4/11-0793_article Note: Dr. Dato is a member of the One Health Initiative team’s Honorary Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php
