Steele Veterinary Public Health Award is named after James Steele (1913– 2013), an EIS officer who was instrumental in developing the discipline of veterinary public health during his career spanning more than 70 years. This award sponsored by CDC veterinarians in partnership with the CDC Foundation and recognizes a current EIS officer or alumnus who has made outstanding contributions in the field of veterinary public health or One Health disciplines, which involves a collaborative effort of multiple disciplines working to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment. Contributions may include investigation, control, or prevention of zoonotic diseases or other animal-related human health problems.

This is supported by the One Health concept that seeks to protect and improve the health of people, other animals, and the environment. This can be achieved by using a multisector/multi-disciplinary coordinated approach to identify, monitor and reduce health threats at the human-animal-ecosystem interface.”

Delivering naturally occurring probiotics to chick embryos is a practical, realistic and achievable approach to establish and maintain a healthy gut microbiome, increase animal welfare and gut health, mitigate enteric diseases, as well as enhance overall health and chick quality without the use of antibiotics.

“Poultry is one of South Carolina’s largest agricultural industries, generating $1.5 billion annually. But the bacterium Campylobacter is threatening this economic stronghold.

Campylobacter is responsible for many food poisoning and diarrheal diseases in humans. Poultry is considered one of the main sources. To help fight this enemy, Clemson University professor Khaled Abdelaziz and his team are researching the use of probiotics to improve poultry gut health and control foodborne pathogens. This research is based on the One Health initiative, a worldwide strategy for expanding all aspects of health care for humans, animals and the environment.  …”

“CONCLUSION

The current economic, social, and environmental trajectories at the global scale and within most regions of the world, follow an unsustainable development path. Without being more effectively integrated by bottom-up initiatives, better coordinated, and accompanied by well-crafted and relevant science, governments will not move. If we fail to see the broader vision encompassed by the One Health concept, we will be destined to miss an opportunity to better human, animal, plant, and ecosystem well-being. Our future is in our collective hands: Let’s hope that we grasp and grab the chance: Oneness in One Health!”
