Another important One Health “silo” advancing human and animal medicine… North Carolina (USA) State University – College of Veterinary Medicine has Dynamic One Health Program http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/about/one-health.html Between animal and human medicine there is no dividing line – nor should there be. The object is different but the experience obtained constitutes the basis of all medicine. - Rudolf Virchow (1821-1902) One Health—the concept describing the complex interrelationship involving ecosystem health and the health and well being of wildlife, domestic animals, and humans is the focus of the research and extension work of the College of Veterinary Medicine. The CVM and its centers, institutes, programs, and individual faculty members and students contribute to the health of the environment, animals, and people on the local, regional, national, and international level. One of several real life One Health examples: Better Understanding of human and animal “Cancers” through collaborative comparative medicine/translational research: http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/ccmtr/researchcores.html#oncology Mission Statement The mission of the CCMTR is to promote scientific discovery and facilitate its clinical application to achieve the goal of improving the health of animals and humans. Translational research is patient-centric. The needs of the patients direct the emphasis of basic research, patient samples provide the critical resource to investigate the basis of disease, and patient participation in clinical studies is required to generate the evidence needed to apply new drugs, vaccines and technology to the broader patient population. Initiatives at the Center are designed to develop the multidisciplinary teams necessary to bring an idea from the lab to the patient. The Center is home to service cores that provide advanced technology, collect and store clinical patient samples, and perform clinical trials to validate new medical interventions. For more information contact the Center Director, Dr. Jorge Piedrahita: http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/mbs/personnel/piedrahita_jorge.html. Oncology (Study of Cancer) The core concentrates on improving the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of cancer through collaborative research on induced and spontaneous models of cancer. Areas of focus include cancer genomics, cytogenetics, manipulation of tumor physiology, signaling and cell cycle control/differentiation, clinical diagnosis and treatment. For more information contact the core leader, Dr. Steve Suter http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/docs/personnel/suter_steven.html. Specific areas of research include: 1. Cancer genomics/molecular cytogenetics of a variety of cancers of comparative significance (including linkage and mapping analysis, correlation with disease occurrence and outcome). 2. Cell signaling/cell cycle control/differentiation. 3. Tumor physiology (effects of intervention on physiologic parameters in tumors). 4. Development and testing of novel therapeutics and validation of surrogate markers. 5. Clinical diagnosis and treatment. As part of the In Search of Answers video series featuring Center researchers, Jonathan M. Horowitz, PhD http://www.cvm.ncsu.edu/mbs/personnel/horowitz_jonathan.html.

One Health Newsletter 2014 Winter Issue Published Today Under New Management Volume 7, Issue 1 Please see attachment or visit http://epi.ufl.edu/onehealth/news/one-health-newsletter/ Transition Announcement: The Florida Department of Health—USA (FL DOH) has enjoyed six highly successful years of managing the internationally distributed and widely read One Health Newsletter (OHNL). The early pioneering Editors, first Mary Echols, DVM, MPH, and then Elizabeth Radke, PhD, in addition to a highly motivated and unselfish editorial board, brilliantly laid the groundwork for this very popular—first and currently the only one of its kind—One Health publication. Several prominent One Health contributors (physicians, veterinarians and other One Health scientists) over the years are testimony to widespread acceptance and appreciation for this unique endeavor; most have graciously agreed to continue to participate. The One Health Newsletter has truly represented a significant educational milestone in the recent history of the One Health movement during the early 21st century. Beginning with this issue, the Florida Department of Health’s OHNL Editorial Staff has decided to transfer the management of the OHNL to the University of Florida’s (UF) One Health Center of Excellence. Though this means changes in the coordinating staff of the newsletter, the mission will remain the same, and the OHNL will endeavor to continue delivering high-quality One Health-focused articles each issue, to be shared via the One Health Initiative’s website http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/newsletter.php. The co-equal, all inclusive policy of the FL DOH’s newsletter shall continue in the collaborative spirit of “One Health” under the new co-editors, Mary M. Merrill, MHS and Sarah K. White, MPH. Indeed, reputable One Health author(s) from any and all One Health oriented university and/or scientific institutions, organizations, governmental agencies and others from the United States and worldwide are welcome and urged to freely participate by submitting One Health related articles. The One Health Initiative (OHI) Autonomous pro bono Team: Laura H. Kahn, MD, MPH, MPP ▪ Bruce Kaplan, DVM ▪ Thomas P. Monath, MD ▪ Jack Woodall, PhD ▪ Lisa A. Conti, DVM, MPH, has worked in tandem with the FL DOH during the early establishment years of its management of the OHNL to date. It intends to continue working closely with the UF OHNL editorial staff. The OHI team strongly supports the transition and transference of the OHNL to the University of Florida’s “One Health Center of Excellence.” Notably, the Director of the One Health Center of Excellence, Gregory C. Gray, MD, MPH,FIDSA, has been an outstanding and recognized One Health supporter/advocate http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/supporters.php for several years. Dr. Gray is also a distinguished member of the OHI team’s Honorary Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php. The incoming Editorial Staff are very thankful for the guidance and support given to us by the departing Editorial Staff as well as by the OHNL Editorial Board during this time of transition. The OHNL would not be possible without the countless hours of volunteer effort devoted by supporters of the One Health vision and mission. While compiling this Winter issue, we have had the opportunity to view firsthand the dedication, drive, and sincere passion that members of the One Health community have for improving health outcomes in all capacities around the world. This experience has already been humbling and inspiring, and we look forward—with your help—to publishing many quarterly online issues in future. Mary M. Merrill, MHS, Co-Editor (mleighmorris@epi.ufl.edu) and Sarah K. White, MPH, Co-Editor (sek0005@epi.ufl.edu), One Health Newsletter in collaboration with Bruce Kaplan, DVM, Contributing Editor, One Health Newsletter and Manager/Editor One Health Initiative website You may learn more about the UF’s One Health Center of Excellence by visiting http://epi.ufl.edu/onehealth/.

Reverse Zoonotic Disease Transmission (Zooanthroponosis): A Systematic Review of Seldom-Documented Human Biological Threats to Animals Please read entire article at: http://www.plosone.org/article/infodoi10.1371journal.pone.0089055 Ali M. Messenger, MPH, PhD1,2, Amber N. Barnes, MPH1, and Gregory C. Gray, MD, MPH, FIDSA1,2 1 College of Public Health and Health Professions, 2 Emerging Pathogens Institute University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida, (USA) “Adopting a One Health strategy for emerging disease surveillance and reporting will benefit both humans and animals and produce a more collaborative response plan.” Abstract Background: Research regarding zoonotic diseases often focuses on infectious diseases animals have given to humans. However, an increasing number of reports indicate that humans are transmitting pathogens to animals. Recent examples include methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, influenza A virus, Cryptosporidium parvum, and Ascaris lumbricoides. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of published literature regarding reverse zoonoses and highlight the need for future work in this area. Interpretation: “As we see a global increase in industrial animal production, the rapid movement of humans and animals, and the habitats of humans and wild animals intertwining with great complexity, the future promises more opportunities for humans to cause reverse zoonoses. Scientific research must be conducted in this area to provide a richer understanding of emerging and reemerging disease threats. As a result, multidisciplinary approaches such as One Health will be needed to mitigate these problems.” Also, please see excellent description http://phhp.ufl.edu/2014/03/03/uf-study-highlights-human-to-animal-disease-threats/ from University of Florida’s website.

To date, there have been 182 laboratory-confirmed cases of human infections with 78 deaths; and it is clear that this virus is now a significant threat to both people and animals throughout the Middle East, especially in Saudi Arabia, where 144 people have been infected and 59 have died. Infection occurs especially among men older than 45 who already have underlying chronic disease. Furthermore, there have been small healthcare-associated clusters, which indicate that human-to-human transmission can occur with unprotected exposure. Whether the virus can attain self-sustained transmission is not yet known, nor is the original source. …” Read entire article at www.ceezad.org/resources/index.html Provided by: Robert E.
