Beginning June 2020 OHSAC was founded by the Student One Health Innovation Clubs (SOHICs) of Mbarara University of Science and Technology and Makerere University with a major objective of engaging students in the fight against COVID-19 while embracing a One Health approach in all our work. We believe that multidisciplinary teams work best, hence our leadership committee is composed of students coming from different academic backgrounds and institutions. https://bit.ly/2Jbm3E6

Panel discussion hosted by the International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID).
On the night of December 30, 2019, ISID’s Program for Monitoring Emerging Diseases (ProMED) Deputy Editor, Dr. Marjorie Pollack posted a request for information to the ProMED network after being contacted by a trusted colleague about a cluster of undiagnosed pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. Through her previous experience with SARS decades earlier, she knew this new threat must be taken seriously. Luckily she sounded the alarm, and in doing so was the first to provide a detailed report alerting the international infectious diseases community to what evolved into the global COVID-19 pandemic. Speakers: Dr. Marjorie Pollack, USA. ProMED Deputy Editor and Epidemiology & Surveillance Moderator, Dr. Uzma Aamir, Pakistan, ProMED South Asia (SoAs) Network and Viral Diseases Moderator, Dr. Therese Umuhoza, Kenya, ProMED Francophone Africa (FRA) and Anglophone Africa (EAFR) Moderator.

Developed through an interactive, consultative process with African Union (AU) Member States, experts in One Health and zoonotic diseases, international organiza-tions and other Africa CDC partners. An initial Technical Working Group (TWG) was convened by the Africa CDC to develop initial draft and revisions. The TWG included experts from Africa CDC, United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC), Chatham House and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The TWG reviewed published One Health plans and reports developed by Member States and synthesized common themes, as well as referencing available One Health global guidance. https://bit.ly/34FzLrd See also:

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched Strategies to Prevent Spillover (STOP Spillover), a five-year, $100 million project to anticipate and address threats posed by the emerging zoonotic diseases that pose the greatest risk of jumping from animals to humans. STOP Spillover will play a significant role in the implementation of the U.S. Government's Global Health Security Strategy, including support for the Global Health Security Agenda (link is external). Tufts University will implement STOP Spillover with a consortium of wildlife and human-disease experts. See more background. https://bit.ly/3oEakOC

OneWaterOneHealth (OWOH) is a nonprofit project of the Arizona State University Foundation, housed at the Biodesign Institute. We officially began our journey when we were awarded the JM Kaplan Fund’s Innovation Prize in 2019, emphasizing environmental justice. We analyze wastewater as a diagnostic matrix to understand the health of populations, particularly in marginalized or underserved communities, as well as the environment that surrounds them. This methodology is termed Wastewater-based Epidemiology (WBE). https://onewateronehealth.org/

FAO’s CBL hosts the ‘One Water, One Health’ Initiative - The Environmental Surveillance of Agricultural Water using Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and its Impact on Food Safety. This initiative addresses an integral concept of water as reflected in Sustainable Development Goal 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. This includes access to safe, reliable and sustainable water (including irrigation water) and water used in food production and processing , adequate water management practices (including re-use), water efficiency and the protection of essential services by aquatic ecosystems, under the umbrella of integrated water resources management.

Neglected One Health Issues |

“Conserving and restoring ecosystems can prevent further degradation and will abate the conditions of the emergence of other infectious diseases,” said Elizabeth Mrema, executive secretary of the U.N. Convention on Biodiversity. “The One Health approach will not only promote sustainable health and just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it will also serve broader health objectives beyond the absence of diseases. It will equally strengthen the resilience of social, ecological and economic ecosystems.” https://tinyurl.com/y52agpvf

Funds raised through the Purple Lease Project will go toward transforming shelters into pet-friendly spaces, allowing humans and animals to heal together, the company says. This is particularly important amidst the pandemic, as this period has seen an increase in domestic abuse incidents. “The bond we share with our pets is unbreakable, but for women and men suffering from domestic violence, abusers will often use pets to threaten and manipulate their victims,” says Purina’s president, Nina Leigh Krueger. “That’s why it’s critical to pave a way for survivors to leave abuse with their pets in tow, to protect the bond they share and begin the healing process together.” https://tinyurl.com/y6y8bh6n

Courses and Summer Programs
Free 8-week online course
Hosted by the University of Alaska Fairbanks, this course introduces the One Health paradigm with special emphasis on its application in the Circumpolar North. The Arctic is experiencing environmental, social, and economic changes that pose great challenges and simultaneously, great opportunities to operationalize paradigm shifts. Addressing these issues effectively requires integrating knowledge across disciplines and cultures and recognizing the interdependence of human, animal, and environmental health. This concept of One Health has always been central to the Indigenous worldview. It connects knowledge from natural and social sciences with traditional ways of knowing. Self paced course. Participate any time between Oct 2020 and May 2021. Certification available if desired. More information HERE. https://www.edx.org/course/one-health

New Book
By David Attenborough
As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet is my witness statement, and my vision for the future. It is the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake - and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have one final chance to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited.' All we need is the will to do so.' https://tinyurl.com/yyj9hdrz
