Genetic Knowledge from Past Diseases: How It Could Help Address Present Health Issues – Impakter

January 25, 2024

“… The promise of ancient genetic research in the future

The results would enrich our understanding of the genetic consequences of human-animal coexistence, and the risks of zoonotic disease emergence. We should not forget the insights gained from the One Health approach that pulls together humans, animals and the environment into an organic whole.

 

Whether using new research tools to better grapple with the most common afflictions of today, or to gain insight into the 6,000 rare diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people, many of whom are children, there is every reason to believe we are on the verge of having better health for all.”

Animal Health: How AI and Drones Make a Big Difference – Impakter

January 19, 2024

“… It is worth a moment to get a sense of the big picture. The links between animal, plant, and human health, and the environment are defined by UN quadripartite experts as “an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent.”

The graphic below, developed by the One Health Sweden and the One Health Initiative team, captures its many aspects and linkages:

Making it a priority has been advocated for many years, but it is turning the corner in 2024. And it is happening at an increasingly fast pace thanks to the emergence of two new technologies: AI, especially in its Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) form, and the expanded use of drones. This is the case for human health, as has been amply documented.

But in parallel, and in line with the One Health concept, it is also happening in the realm of animals. How this works out for animal health is explored in this article. …”

Pioneering the One Health concept to understand human, environmental and animal interactions – Digital Journal

January 18, 2024

“Human, animal, and environmental health are not three different or independent forms of health. Instead, they need to be considered as ‘One Health’.

 

By One Health, this refers to the overarching concept that human, animal, and environmental health are inextricably linked and that professionals within the three realms should work together toward research findings and clinical applications that can improve the health in all three areas.  Due to a shared environment and highly conserved physiology, animals and humans not only suffer from the same zoonotic diseases, but can also be treated by either structurally related or identical drugs. …”

Dr. Abraar Karan, infectious disease fellow, Stanford University

Dr. Abraar Karan wishes people would pay attention to the links between climate change and infectious diseases.

“My biggest concern heading into 2024 is the impact of climate change on the spread of both known and unknown infectious diseases — and my hope is that we tackle this challenge through supporting and funding scientists working on the “One Health” framework, which brings together physicians, epidemiologists, veterinarians and climate scientists to work in collaboration. As an infectious disease doctor working in California and internationally, I see a concerning trend. …”
