  2. Definition “One Health is the collaborative efforts of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and globally to attain optimal health for People & other animals, plantsand our environment.”

  3. Rabies: PerfectExampleofhowOneHealthis essential • Physiciansto vaccinate & treatvictims • Veterinariansto vaccinate & sterilizedogs & cats • Wildlifeexpertsto adviseon oral vaccination • Ecologiststo tellresponsibleauthoritieswhy sterilization is betterthanculling • Sanitarians to eliminategarbagethatfeedsstrays • Educatorsto teachpeople to vaccinatetheir pets • Mediato informaboutrisks & prevention, e.g. bats

  4. Benefit - Synergism The One Health concept is a worldwide strategy for expanding • interdisciplinarycollaboration & communication • in all aspects of health care for • humans, animals and the environment. The synergism achieved will advance health care for the 21st century & beyond by…

  5. 1. Accelerating biomedical research discoveries Multidisciplinary teams of veterinarians, physicians, virologists & wildlife ecologists were responsible for: • Development of cell culture and oral-bait wildlife rabiesvaccines • Discovery oftheLyassavirus family ofrabies-relatedviruses • Developing PCR methods for detection ofrabies • Human monoclonal antibodies for post-exposuretreatment for rabies

  6. Accelerating biomedical research discoveries (cont.) More examples: • Cancer (human & animal) • breast, ovaries, liver, skin melanoma vaccines • Orthopedic diseases/devices (human & animal) • treat human osteoarthritis, develop prostheses, artificial joints • Heartdisease(human) • treat and prevent heart attacks with intra-coronary arterial “stents”, new drugs

  7. 2. Enhancing public health efficacy Examples: • Multidisciplinary collaborations of physicians, veterinarians, nurses, microbiologists, engineers, sanitarians, dentists, statisticians, entomologists, ecologists and others • Collaborations between local, state, and national agencies – (including local local & state state) – to facilitate and advance disease prevention & control

  8. 3. Expeditiously expanding the scientific knowledge base Historicexamples: • Discovery and naming Ebola virus • K.M. Johnson MD, F. A. Murphy DVM & others at CDC (USA), 1976. • Nobel prize for physiology or medicine • collaborative research by immunologists R. M. ZinkernagelMD & P.C. Doherty DVM uncovers basic science of how body distinguishes normal from virus-infected cells, 1996.

  9. Expeditiously expanding the scientific knowledge base (cont.) Current examples: • Surveillance for bat Lyssaviruses and disease • Quantitating rabies exposure health risks • Defining transmission dynamics and molecular epidemiology of rabies strains • Improving rabies vaccination techniques, e.g. intradermal inoculation

  10. 4. Improving medical education and clinical care • Significant, improved patient education if physicians and veterinarians advise patients/clients collaboratively about zoonotic risks from pets and wildlife. • Knowledge sharing (comparative medicine) at schools of medicine and veterinary medicine – learning how animal and human health impact each other.

  11.
