“… “He was especially interested in zoonotic diseases — those that are passed from animals to people — and now we see with COVID-19 that veterinary medicine is a big part of that field,” she said.
Dr. Oke’s life changed when he enrolled as a veterinary student at the University of Ibadan and met the late *Dr. James H. Steele, an American veterinarian who was teaching a “one medicine/one health” concept at the Nigerian university.
“It’s the philosophy that the health of animals is tantamount to the health of humans,” Sam Oke said.
Dr. Steele became a lifelong mentor to Dr. Oke and invited him to study at the University of Texas School of Public Health after he graduated as a doctor of veterinary medicine. …”

DISCUSSIONS ON ONE HEALTH AND THE CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES GLOBALLY
Covid-19 has shown what can happen when insufficient attention is paid to the relationship between health and disease at the human, animal and environment interfaces. In response to the need to develop a holistic treatment of health hazards and a systemic change of perspective in risk hazard, two LIDC member colleges – the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Royal Veterinary College – both paragons of excellence in their respective fields, run a ‘One Health’ post-graduate course that equips students with a comprehensive foundation on the principles of diseases in the context of socio-ecological systems, global health and food safety, as well as knowledge and skills in relation to One Health methodologies.
On 13 October, leaders of this course join guest speakers in a conversation on issues around public health, veterinary sciences, social and environmental sciences, ecology and wildlife health. …

“…
“The transmission of zoonotic viral diseases to humans can cost lives, disrupt economies, and create lasting human health and societal problems, as we’ve seen most recently with the impact of COVID-19,” Deborah T. Kochevar, the STOP Spillover program director and a faculty member at Tufts, said.
The program leverages expertise from Tufts’ schools in infectious-disease forecasting, surveillance, prevention and eradication; food and water safety and risk reduction; social behavioral change; global health diplomacy; and One Health programming and education.
