One Health is a concept that recognizes the links between human, animal, and environmental health. These factors must be incorporated and integrated before planetary health can be achieved. The One Health concept promotes multidisciplinary collaborations between physicians, veterinarians, environmental specialists, and other health-related professions. Support for One Health has increased substantially and must be embraced and implemented globally.(2) Regrettably, Richard Horton and colleagues’ manifesto for planetary health excludes One Health;(1) as such, it is incomplete and ineffectual. It does not adequately address the overwhelming environmental threats to the sustainability of human civilisation. Our planet is rapidly sickening because of anthropogenic causes, but planetary health for humanity is impossible without including animal, environmental, and ecosystem health.(3) About 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic; many emerge because of environmental destruction.(4) We must recognise that planetary health equals human, animal, environmental, and ecosystem health.  Achieving planetary health requires implemention of the One Health concept globally. We declare that we have no competing interests. *Laura H Kahn, Bruce Kaplan, Thomas Monath, Jack Woodall, Lisa Conti lkahn@princeton.edu Princeton University, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Science and Global Security, Princeton, NJ 08542, USA (LHK); Retired, Sarasota, FL, USA (BK); PaxVax, Menlo Park, CA, USA (TM); Retired, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (JW); and One Health Initiative, Tallahassee, FL, USA (LC) 1 Horton R, Beaglehole R, Bonita R, Raeburn J, McKee M, Wall S.

A One Health issue… WHO’s first global report on antibiotic resistance reveals serious, worldwide threat to public health New WHO report provides the most comprehensive picture of antibiotic resistance to date, with data from 114 countries News release 30 April 2014 | Geneva - A new report by WHO–its first to look at antimicrobial resistance, including antibiotic resistance, globally–reveals that this serious threat is no longer a prediction for the future, it is happening right now in every region of the world and has the potential to affect anyone, of any age, in any country. Antibiotic resistance–when bacteria change so antibiotics no longer work in people who need them to treat infections–is now a major threat to public health. … Please read entire news release at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2014/amr-report/en/ or click on attachment.

Seeing the Forest for the Trees: How “One Health” Connects Humans, Animals, and Ecosystems   Wendee Nicole, MS, Wildlife Ecology Freelance Writer * Photographer * Bohemian Web:  http://www.wendeenicole.com Adventures Blog: http://bohemianadventures.blogspot.com Writing Green ~ online class  http://www.wendeenicole.com/nature.htm   Published in Environmental Health Perspectives • volume 122 | number 5 | May 2014   … “The History of One Health The connection between animal and human health was recognized even in ancient times; later, nineteenth-century physician Rudolf Virchow coined the term “zoonosis,” writing that “between animal and human medicine there are no dividing lines—nor should there be.” In the late twentieth century epidemiologist Calvin Schwabe first proposed the idea of “One Medicine” encompassing both human and animal health. But medicine has since lost sight of the forest for the trees, now even to the point of focusing on individual leaves, says *Laura Kahn, a physician and research scholar at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. “A schism has been developing in medicine for decades,” Kahn says: Should it focus strictly on individual care or more broad-based population-level health? Shortly after the anthrax attacks following 9/11, Kahn was reading the veter­inary medicine literature and found herself struck by how many diseases of bioterrorism are—like anthrax—zoonotic. “Yet I discovered that [people working in] veterinary and human medicine and agriculture rarely talk to one another,” she says. “We’re trying to deal with new twenty-first-century challenges using outdated twentieth-century paradigms.” …   Please read entire article http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/122-a122/ or http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/wp-content/uploads/122/5/ehp.122-A122.pdf or click on attachment.   Provided to One Health Initiative website by:   Susan M.

“The business case for One Health”   Onderstepoort Journal of Veterinary Research 81(2), 6 pages – Open Access   Abstract   This article outlines a pathway to develop the business case for One Health. It describes the origin and development of One Health and then identifies five potential areas where One Health can add value and reduce costs. These are: (1) sharing health resources between the medical and veterinary sectors; (2) controlling zoonoses in animal reservoirs; (3) early detection and response to emerging diseases; (4) prevention of pandemics; and (5) generating insights and adding value to health research and development. Examples are given for each category along with preliminary estimates of the potential savings from adopting the One Health approach. The literature reviewed suggests that one dollar invested in One Health can generate five dollars worth of benefits and a global investment of US$25 billion over 10 years could generate benefits worth at least US$125 billion. Conservation implications: the time has come to make the bigger case for massive investment in One Health in order to transform the management of neglected and emerging zoonoses and to save the lives of millions of people and hundreds of millions of animals whose production supports and nourishes billions of impoverished people per annum.  http://www.ojvr.org/index.php/ojvr/article/view/725/993

Barriers to such redefined relationships range from personality and institutional cultural and value differences to impediments that require changes in agency-specific policies. This article reviews interagency One Health collaborations, nationally and internationally. It presents a series of case studies that describe situations in which barriers were overcome, thus culminating in successful One Health outcomes. The case studies illustrate challenges, tipping points, and externally enabling factors that help institutionalize cross-bureaucratic working relationships. Likewise, the cases demonstrate the added value of taking a One Health approach to solving (or preventing) public health problems.”    http://ohcea.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Making-One-Health-a-Reality-Crossing-Bureaucratic-Boundaries-Rubin-et-al-MicrobiolSpectrum-Feb2014.pdf    Permission to post on One Health Initiative website granted April 10, 2014 by: Lindsay Williams |Editorial and Rights Coordinator, ASM Press American Society for Microbiology 1752 N Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 202.942.9245 direct | 202.737.3600 main | 202.942.9342 fax Note: Drs.

Reminder: 3rd Global Risk Forum (GRF) One Health Summit 2014 will be held from 05 - 08 October 2014 at the Davos Congress Centre in Davos, Switzerland. Please see: http://onehealth.grforum.org/home/ and endorsing partners—includes One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono team—http://onehealth.grforum.org/partnership/endorsing-partners/ One Health – A holistic Paradigm “The deliberations and discussions of the GRF One Health Summit Davos 2012 on “One Health, One Planet, One Future: Risks and opportunities” have shown that One Health has evolved to a broad and holistic paradigm that addresses and frames the complex interactions between human health, livestock, pet and wildlife health, climate, ecosystems, agriculture, food systems and human development. It includes aspects of nutrition, agriculture, the safety and security of food supplies, environmental stewardship and the management of natural resources, water, energy, and ecosystems services, as well as questions of awareness, behaviour and learning, governance, economics, and disaster preparedness. Keeping in mind that more than half of the worldwide population is living in urban areas and rural exodus continues to grow; One Health may become a crucial approach to successfully cope with all the drivers and consequences in urbanization dynamics. Recently, One Health has begun to move beyond the status of a mere concept to become a truly global movement at the interface of science, society, policy and practice. It is deeply interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial and provides a fascinating, powerful framework that a variety of professional communities and social groups can adhere to. Our best hope is that the One Health paradigm will be helpful in reversing the worst of current problems at the human-animal-environment and development interface thus fostering a more sustainable way of life on Mother Earth.” Walter J. Ammann, PhD, Chairman and CEO Note:  Dr. Ammann is a prominent engineer by training representing the true spirit of One Health’s interdisciplinary collaborative approach.  He and his outstanding staff http://www.grforum.org/about-us/team/?L=  have assembled an international Scientific and Technical Advisory Group http://onehealth.grforum.org/about/scientific-and-technical-advisory-group/ to assist with the One Health summit preparations.

It is transmitted from animals to humans directly through exposure to blood, body fluids, or tissues of infected animals or via mosquito bites. The disease is endemic to Africa but has recently spread to Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Our aim was to compare two major outbreaks of RVF in Saudi Arabia (2000) and Sudan (2007) from a One Health perspective.”   “Conclusion: We conclude that a One Health approach is the best option to mitigate outbreaks of RVF.

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.

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.    Note:  Dr. Messenger, Ms. Barnes and Dr. Gray are One Health supporter/advocates.  Dr. Gray serves on the One Health Initiative Autonomous pro bono team’s Honorary Advisory Board http://www.onehealthinitiative.com/advBoard.php and is Professor and Chair, Department of Environmental and Global Health, College of Public Health and Health Professions, Professor, Infectious Diseases and Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Director, One Health Center of Excellence, Email: gcgray@phhp.ufl.edu – The University of Florida has established the first known “One Health” PhD program http://egh.phhp.ufl.edu/academic-programs/doctoral-programs/phd-in-one-health/ in the world.
