One Health: The Human-Animal-Environment Interfaces in Emerging Infectious Diseases: The Concept and Examples of a One Health Approach (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology Book 365)

One Health is an emerging concept that aims to bring together human, animal, and environmental health. Achieving harmonized approaches for disease detection and prevention is difficult because traditional boundaries of medical and veterinary practice must be crossed. In the 19th and early 20th centuries this was not the case—then researchers like Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch and physicians like William Osler and Rudolph Virchow crossed the boundaries between animal and human health. More recently Calvin Schwabe revised the concept of One Medicine. This was critical for the advancement of the field of epidemiology, especially as applied to zoonotic diseases. The future of One Health is at a crossroads with a need to more clearly define its boundaries and demonstrate its benefits. Interestingly the greatest acceptance of One Health is seen in the developing world where it is having significant impacts on control of infectious diseases.

The second volume on One Health explains in detail how to implement three key aspects of the One Health paradigḿfood safety and security, national plans for a holistic one health approach, and relevant new technologies and approaches. The fourteen chapters, each by an internationally recognized authority, are organized into three sections of four or five chapters each, that break new ground in clarifying precisely how One Health can become an operational reality in local, national and international public health initiatives. Section three begins with an international overview on food safety and security. The importance of a One Heath approach is then explained in relation to four specific problemśthe growing prevalence of antibiotic resistance, bovine spongiform encephalopathy and pathogenic E.coli. Section four begins with the role of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in promoting One Health. The formulation and implementation of national plans for implementing the One Health paradigm are then set out for Africa, the Western Pacific, Southeast Asia and Mongolia. The final section of this two volume book is devoted to implementing new technologies and new approaches to One Health. A wide-ranging analysis considers the importance of climate change and a social-ecological systems approach, as well as how to operationalize One Health, how to move from emergency response to prevention at source, and how to implement an educational strategy that builds a foundation for One Health in emerging disease management. It is anticipated that this two volume book will become a benchmark for practitioners of One Health, empowering a balanced multidisciplinary approach to the complexities of the human-animal-environment interface. This volume brings together the concepts that underpin a One Health approach and a range of examples of this approach in action around a variety of emerging infectious diseases. The first section starts with a human clinical perception, brings in the veterinary and human ́ animal interface perspective and then links this with environment issues, with a special chapter dealing with wildlife. It concludes by looking at the economics of a One Health approach, both in terms of the costs of delivering a One Health approach as well as the value added. The second section looks at a number of key emerging infectious diseases and in each case details how a One Health approach has added value, particularly in terms of disease control and cost outcomes. The examples cover virus, bacterial, protozoal and parasitic infections and provide case studies at the national, regional and global level. The studies themselves vary in depth and detail but provide an engaging set of examples of the value of a One Health approach. In all cases, the authors have local and personal experience of the disease in question, providing real life examples of what can be achieved. The final chapter entitled ́ Men, primates and germs: an ongoing affair ́ provides a fascinating insight into pathogen host switching between closely related species which serves to illustrate a core value of a One Health approach. ℗ Front Matter....Pages i-x One Health: Its Origins and Future....Pages 1-13 One Health and Emerging Infectious Diseases: Clinical Perspectives....Pages 17-29 The Historical, Present, and Future Role of Veterinarians in One Health....Pages 31-47 The Importance of Understanding the Human–Animal Interface....Pages 49-81 The Human Environment Interface: Applying Ecosystem Concepts to Health....Pages 83-100 Wildlife: The Need to Better Understand the Linkages....Pages 101-125 The Economic Value of One Health in Relation to the Mitigation of Zoonotic Disease Risks....Pages 127-151 The Application of One Health Approaches to Henipavirus Research....Pages 155-170 H5N1 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Indonesia: Retrospective Considerations....Pages 171-184 Rabies in Asia: The Classical Zoonosis....Pages 185-203 Japanese Encephalitis: On the One Health Agenda....Pages 205-247 Cost Estimate of Bovine Tuberculosis to Ethiopia....Pages 249-268 The Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Experience....Pages 269-279 One Health: The Hong Kong Experience with Avian Influenza....Pages 281-298 Clostridium difficile Infection in Humans and Piglets: A ‘One Health’ Opportunity....Pages 299-314 Cysticercosis and Echinococcosis....Pages 315-335 Men, Primates, and Germs: An Ongoing Affair....Pages 337-353 Erratum to: Cost Estimate of Bovine Tuberculosis to Ethiopia....Pages 355-355 Back Matter....Pages 357-362
