Approximately 125 cases have been reported annually in the United States during the last two decades (2). As of September 30, a total of 100 tularemia cases were reported in 2015 among residents of Colorado (n = 43), Nebraska (n = 21), South Dakota (n = 20), and Wyoming (n = 16) (Figure). This represents a substantial increase in the annual mean number of four (975% increase), seven (200%), seven (186%) and two (70%) cases, respectively, reported in each state during 2004–2014 (2). ...

Notice: Revised 2nd Edition book available... Animal Health Human Health One Health: The Life and Legacy of Dr. James H. Steele Paperback – December 11, 2015 by *Craig Nash Carter (Author), Cynthia Gregg Hoobler (Assistant) Be the first to review this item “To call Jim Steele “just” a veterinarian is like saying Bill Gates is “just” a software engineer. During his one hundred years of life, Steele changed the face of veterinary medicine and public health. As the first US assistant surgeon general for veterinary affairs at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, he pioneered the simple but powerful philosophy that human health is intimately connected to the health of animals and our surrounding environment. His unwavering convictions, passion for medical progress, and strong leadership have saved and enriched countless human and animal lives. Animal Health Human Health One Health recounts Jim Steele’s remarkable story, bringing to life his rough-and-tumble childhood in Chicago, his veterinary and academic career, countless battles with deadly diseases, public health adventures around the globe, creation of the first comprehensive scientific book series on zoonotic diseases, and his final years when he was still speaking, coauthoring scientific articles and books, and mentoring and advising students, colleagues and world leaders. He was the father of Veterinary Public Health and a motivator to all who met him. His life story is a great inspiration for anyone with curiosity and passion for the health, life and environmental sciences.” http://www.amazon.com/Animal-Health-Human-One-Legacy/dp/1511558016/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1450278980&sr=8-5&keywords=james+h+steele Note: *Dr. Carter is a longstanding member of the One Health Initiative Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php, as was the late James H.

Dato, MD, MPH [ Dr. Dato is a member of the One Health Initiative team’s Honorary Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php]   Dato VM. Lives of a cell: 40 years later, a third interpretation [another dimension].

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). …” Update contains excellent Podcast: Please Listen to audio/Podcast http://www2c.cdc.gov/podcasts/player.asp?f=8637494

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.

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.
