“… “This has set us back dramatically,” said Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy. “We are nowhere near as safe now as we were even 10 weeks ago.” …”

“… Laboratories around the world submit biological samples and testing data to the CDC, which maintains a repository of historical information for research references.

In critical areas like antibiotic-resistant infection surveillance, no one is left at the labs to take those samples, one scientist said.

Hospitals also ask the CDC for advice when seeing a novel illness. But the process of examining those requests and answering them has been disrupted, said Kevin Pettus, a 30-year-old veteran scientist at the agency who lost his job last week. …”

Health and Science

 “… Researchers, clinicians, and institutions emphasized that leishmaniasis is fully included in the “One Health” approach, which links animal health, human health, and environmental sustainability.  …”

Recognizing that human health (including mental health via the human-animal bond phenomenon), animal health, and ecosystem health are inextricably linked, One Health seeks to promote, improve, and defend the health and well-being of all species by enhancing cooperation and collaboration between physicians, veterinarians, other scientific health and environmental professionals and by promoting strengths in leadership and management to achieve these goals.

Vision Statement:
One Health (formerly called One Medicine) is dedicated to improving the lives of all species—human and animal—through the integration of human medicine, veterinary medicine, and environmental science.

One Health shall be achieved through:

1. Joint educational efforts between human medical, veterinary medical schools, and schools of public health and the environment;
2. Joint communication efforts in journals, at conferences, and via allied health networks;
3. Joint efforts in clinical care through the assessment, treatment, and prevention of cross-species disease transmission;
4. Joint cross-species disease surveillance and control efforts in public health;
5. Joint efforts in better understanding of cross-species disease transmission through comparative medicine and environmental research;
6. Joint efforts in the development and evaluation of new diagnostic methods, medicines and vaccines for the prevention and control of diseases across species and;
7. Joint efforts to inform and educate political leaders and the public sector through accurate media publications.

The One Health exhibit at the Georgia Southern Museum highlights the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health through interactive displays, educational collaborations, and real-world applications, encouraging visitors to recognize and act on their role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
