One Health Publications

One Medicine-One Health an historic perspective:

“One Health” is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain optimal health for people, animals, and our environment.

Call for Papers: PLOS Medicine Special Issue ‘Bacterial Antimicrobial Resistance: Surveillance and Prevention’ – Speaking of Medicine and Health

“… AMR is a One Health problem and its causes lie in human, animal and environmental domains.  The overuse and misuse of antibiotics, and the potential for transmission within and between these domains is responsible for the rapid global spread of drug-resistant pathogens. Use of antibiotics increased by 65% globally between 2000 and 2015, and more than doubled in LMICs over the same period. Pathogen AMR evolution can limit the effectiveness of available antibiotics and far outpaces our ability to develop new drugs. Of the 32 antibiotics in clinical development to tackle priority pathogens in 2019, only six were classified as innovative. Action to impede the development of drug-resistance is urgently required. …”

FSIS: More testing not preventing | Food Safety News

“… The proposal does not address preventing Salmonella contamination. A core principle of control programs, including HACCP, is prevention, not simply testing (Zwietering 2016). Although testing can provide a regulatory incentive, prescribing scientific risk-based preventive measures would offer needed improvement. FSIS could promote pathogen control incentives by modernizing inspection similar to current European Union initiatives, e.g. “Risk-based Meat Safety Assurance System” (RB-MSAS) (Cavalheiro, 2022, Alban 2021, Blagojevic 2021, Riess & Hoelzer, 2020). This would also promote USDA’s One Health approach. …”

“What we’re constructing is a one–health concept,” Buhr said. “Really trying to integrate soil health with plant health, animal health and human …

“We really don’t see that anywhere else,” Buhr said of the one-health concept. “There’s components, they’re not necessarily aligned.”

Overview of Partner Organizations

This newsletter was created to highlight the many One Health-related research and training activities the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, TX is engaged in performing. It is modeled in part, after the monthly Duke One Health Newsletter which ran from April 2018 to October 2021. *Professor Gregory C. Gray moved from Duke University to UTMB in October 2021 and was tasked with building a One Health program at UTMB.

*Member, One Health Initiative Team Advisory Board

“… It was my interest in science and my experience of being brought up on a farm that led me to study veterinary medicine at Glasgow University in Scotland. After graduation, I elected to remain in the academic environment, first as a house surgeon in the surgery department at the University Veterinary Hospital, and following study for a recently introduced diploma in Veterinary Anesthesia became a veterinary anesthesiologist at the University. …”

Dr. Carter says, “This was a 2.5 hour session that started with a One Health overview followed by a student discussion/analysis of various One Health papers, most of which were inspired/written by the One Health Initiative team, et. al. at the beautiful Lewis Honors classroom building on the UK campus (next to the Young library). 

 The links to the papers are on slides at the tail end of the deck.  The students were broken up into three groups for the discussion session.  The University of Kentucky (UK) has an impressive honors program for the students which started in 1958.  Among other things, each student has an additional 30 hours of special credit to earn on top of the requirements for their BS/BA degree.  They also have an international project to complete before graduation.  About half of the students are pre-med along with an assortment of pre-dental, public health, MBA, etc. A very impressive group of students!”
