What is One Health?
 
One
 
One Health
 is an integrated, unifying
approach that aims to sustainably balance
and optimize the health of people, animals
and ecosystems.
It recognizes the health of humans,
domestic and wild animals, plants, and the
wider environment (including ecosystems)
are closely linked and inter-dependent.

One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP)
 
Established in 2021 after the quadripartite
agreement between the WHO, WAOH, FAO, and
UNEP
Aim: 
to give guidance and inputs to enhance cross-
sectoral collaboration within the quadripartite
agreement to mainstream a One Health approach​.
Four areas of initial focus:
One Health implementation
Inventory of current knowledge in preventing
emerging zoonoses
Surveillance, early detection and rapid data
sharing in prevention of emerging zoonoses
Factors causing spillover and subsequent spread
of diseases.
 
An essential and primary priority was to develop a
common definition of One Health

One Health’s Precedent in Indigenous Philosophies and Practices (1/2)
 
"Indigenous Peoples
across Canada are
unified in their belief
that the 
wellbeing of an
individual
 is directly
connected to the
wellbeing of the Land
."
 
Hillier
 et al
.
 
(
2021
)
 
The Indigenous Peoples
of the Kalahari (Southern
Africa) "are well-
known for the 
profound
connection with their
land
, intimate knowledge
of the natural world, and
delicate balance
they have maintained for
millennia with
the environment."
 
Survival International
 (2022)
 
In the Andean and
Amazonian Indigenous
cultures, "
Sumak kawsay
,
or ‘good life’ in
the Kichwa language, is
an Indigenous principle
promoting
 living in
harmony
 with nature in
order to achieve
wellbeing for all."

Alternative Integrated Health Paradigms
 
Ecohealth
Strives to improve human and animal
health through achieving healthier
ecosystems. It increasingly adopts One
Health and Conservation medicine under
its remit. 
In this model, socio-ecological
drivers of health are emphasised
.
Zinsstag
 (2013)
 
Planetary health
Human health is inextricably linked to the
health of our planet and natural
ecosystems, requiring environmental
stewardship to tackle degraded planetary
systems for human health.

Three
 
Key competencies and principles
Underlying principles necessary to implement a One Health approach
 
Paradigm shift
:
environmental
stewardship and
recognition of
anthropogenic
drivers
 
System-thinking:
holistic approach to
understanding the
problem
 
Multi-sectoral and
inter/trans-
disciplinary
responses:
integrating diverse
knowledge forms
 
Sociopolitical and
multi-cultural parity
:
gender-responsive
and human rights-
based approaches
 
Paradigm Shift
 
The paradigm shift within One Health requires people to
reconnect with indigenous ways of life and reduce the level
of extraction and destruction by recognising that
We are part of a complex, adaptive ecosystem
Our health is directly dependent on ecosystems'
health
Our presence is more about belonging than
conquering
Our role is stewardship rather than ownership
Work with the natural evolutionary and ecosystem
processes to enhance life on earth, rather than exploit and
degrade

Systems Thinking:
 A key principle, but lacking implementation
Source: Hitziger, et al. (2021).
Recognising the
relationship between a
system’s structure and
its behaviour and
outcomes. (Meadows
2009)
Developing an understanding of
the workings of a system to
better understand its purpose
and predict its behaviour (and if
necessary, how that can be
influenced for the better). (Stroh,

Food Safety Hazards
 
One Health and Food Systems
 
Food Safety Hazards 
– Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health (1/2)
 
Food safety is an integral part of food security.
Hazards familiar to ANH researchers:
Biological:
 Foodborne pathogens (including zoonotic e.g.,
Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter, brucella, etc., and
antimicrobial resistant strains)
Chemical: 
Mycotoxins, residues of pesticides or drugs,
processing chemicals (addition/contamination) etc.
Physical:
 Extraneous/foreign materials e.g., glass, plastic,
metal etc.
Hazards may be introduced at various stages from farm to fork,
and risks vary between simple and industrialised food systems.
 
Food security exists when all
people, at all times, have
physical and economic access to
sufficient,
 
safe
 and nutritious
food that meets their dietary
needs and food preferences for
an active and healthy life.

Antimicrobial Resistance
 
One Health and Food Systems
 
Antimicrobial Resistance - 
AMR (1/4)
AMR occurs when
 any microorganism
 (fungi, bacteria, virus, parasite) develops 
resistance 
to know
 anti-microbial 
(anti-biotics, anti-
fungal, antimalarials) treatments.​
AMR is proportional to the amount of antimicrobial used
 per person or livestock animal. Unregulated or
excessive use in humans and livestock, aquaculture, and agriculture accelerates the emergence and transmission of AMR genes by
exerting selective pressure on resistant strains.
 
Public Health
5 million deaths in 2019; predicted to increase to 10
million by 2050
AMR infections cause increased spread to community
Increased treatment cost and duration: AMR could
cost from
 $300 billion to more than $3.4 trillion
annually by 2050 worldwide.
Increased morbidity and mortality of infectious
disease
 
 
Source: O'Neill (2016)
 
AMR – 
In (animal-sourced) Food Systems (2/4)
 
Total antimicrobial consumption in animals 
in 228 countries
is 
estimated at 63,151 tons. Projected to rise by 67% by 2030, and
nearly 100% in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (
Van
Boeckel, 2010
).
 
Animal food systems
Contributing factor to the 
availability of cheap
animal-sourced foods
Used for 
growth promotion
 and 
disease
prevention
; secondarily used for disease
treatment
Poor animal welfare conditions increase the
need for antimicrobials
A lack of access 
to pathogen- and animal-
specific antimicrobials contributes to poor
welfare
Alternatives to antimicrobials: vaccines,
improved biosecurity, animal welfare, and
nutrition
 
AMR – 
In the Environment (3/4)
 
Environment
Antimicrobial pollution 
from
pharmaceutical production, agricultural
run-off, livestock manure for fertilizer, and
human waste
Large volumes enter 
waterways 
and other
ecosystem
Exposes a wide range of microorganisms
to 
antimicrobial-resistant genetic
material
 increasing the likelihood of AMR
emergence
Horizontal gene transfer occurs
environmentally

How does this relate to disease
emergence?

wildlife-livestock-human interface: abundance of
reservoirs host species in human-dominated
landscapes relative to biodiverse ecosystems.

Apply Systems thinking with a One Health lens to one of
the issues listed below:
Triple burden of malnutrition
Biodiversity loss
Degraded soil health
A foodborne disease of One Health
significance (excl. Campylobacter)
1.
Describe and define the problem within a One Health context
2.
Describe the historic trends of the key aspects of the problem (What has
changed? How? Why? And why does it matter?)
3.
Draw a diagram of the system’s structure that underpins the problem
showing the key elements and interconnections (Zoom Whiteboard) 
Write issue/problem definition in centre, list key associated
elements (drivers and outcomes). Think of drivers and outcomes of
each of these as well.
Draw arrows where there are links between elements
Decide on some boundaries (What will you exclude?)
Can you identify any feedback loops that might exist?
(
There is no right or wrong. 
Diagram should reflect
 how the group understands
the problem.)
4.
Can you identify areas in the system diagram where an intervention
would give most leverage?
5.
Think of interventions and then consider how each would affect other
aspects of the system by following the linkages.

  4. One Introduction Introduction What is One Health?

  5. One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent. OHHLEP, 2021 Source: OHHLEP (2021), p. 13

  6. Global Health Approach Veterinary Health One Health Prioritises Human Health Prioritises Animal Health Co-Prioritises Human, Animal & Ecosystem Health Example 1 AMR tackled by limiting antimicrobial drug use in hospitals AMR in animals tackled by limiting antimicrobial use in livestock AMR in humans tackled by limiting animal drug use and environmental contamination; accounting for socio-ecological and cultural determinants of overuse. Example 2 Poor mental health among pastoralists attributed to low income Low income attributed to high mortality among livestock Poor mental health attributed to high rates of livestock disease and death, via loss of livelihoods

  7. Scientific Roots of One Health And to focus on anthropogenic changes impacting ecosystem and planetary health To a wider definition to focus on whole society Shifts from narrow, human- centric and biomedical focus Source: Zip Walton

  8. One Health High Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) Established in 2021 after the quadripartite agreement between the WHO, WAOH, FAO, and UNEP Aim: to give guidance and inputs to enhance cross- sectoral collaboration within the quadripartite agreement to mainstream a One Health approach . Four areas of initial focus: One Health implementation Inventory of current knowledge in preventing emerging zoonoses Surveillance, early detection and rapid data sharing in prevention of emerging zoonoses Factors causing spillover and subsequent spread of diseases. ohhlep--one-health-theory-of- chance.pdf (who.int) One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) (who.int) An essential and primary priority was to develop a common definition of One Health Source: OHHLEP (2021), OHHLEP (2022)

  9. One Healths Precedent in Indigenous Philosophies and Practices (1/2) The Indigenous Peoples of the Kalahari (Southern Africa) "are well- known for the profound connection with their land, intimate knowledge of the natural world, and delicate balance they have maintained for millennia with the environment." In the Andean and Amazonian Indigenous cultures, "Sumak kawsay, or good life in the Kichwa language, is an Indigenous principle promoting living in harmony with nature in order to achieve wellbeing for all." "Indigenous Peoples across Canada are unified in their belief that the wellbeing of an individual is directly connected to the wellbeing of the Land." Hillier et al. (2021) Survival International (2022) Pachamama (2022)

  11. One Healths Precedent in Indigenous Philosophies and Practice (2/2) Figure 2: Global map of lands managed and/or controlled by Indigenous Peoples (Garnett et al., 2018) Colonial era and contemporary economic regimes threaten Indigenous People's sovereignty and right to self-determination Indigenous Peoples maintain 80% of the globe's biodiversity on 25% of its land (Sobrevila, 2008) (Garnett, 2018) Humans are viewed as stewards or guardians of natural resources, rather than owners (Kuhnlein, 1996) Figure 1. The Andean Ayllu concept of Holistic Well-Being. Runa Ayllu: humans and domesticated plants, animals, water, etc.; Sallka Ayllu:wild plants and animals; Auki Ayllu: the sacred and the ancestors; Ayni: reciprocity.

  12. Alternative Integrated Health Paradigms Planetary health Ecohealth Human health is inextricably linked to the health of our planet and natural ecosystems, requiring environmental stewardship to tackle degraded planetary systems for human health. Strives to improve human and animal health through achieving healthier ecosystems. It increasingly adopts One Health and Conservation medicine under its remit. In this model, socio-ecological drivers of health are emphasised. Zinsstag (2013) Steffen et al. (2015) For a comparison of the three holistic approaches to health, see Lerner and Berg (2017)

  15. Three Implementing One Health Implementing One Health Key competencies and principles

  16. Paradigm shift: environmental stewardship and recognition of anthropogenic drivers System-thinking: holistic approach to understanding the problem Sociopolitical and multi-cultural parity: gender-responsive and human rights- based approaches Multi-sectoral and inter/trans- disciplinary responses: integrating diverse knowledge forms Underlying principles necessary to implement a One Health approach

  17. Paradigm Shift The paradigm shift within One Health requires people to reconnect with indigenous ways of life and reduce the level of extraction and destruction by recognising that We are part of a complex, adaptive ecosystem Our health is directly dependent on ecosystems' health Our presence is more about belonging than conquering Our role is stewardship rather than ownership Work with the natural evolutionary and ecosystem processes to enhance life on earth, rather than exploit and degrade See the Roadmap to a One Health Agenda 2030 Image Source: Unknown via pxfuel

  39. Food Safety Hazards One Health and Food Systems

  40. Food Safety Hazards Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health (1/2) Food safety is an integral part of food security. Food security exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food that meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Hazards familiar to ANH researchers: Biological: Foodborne pathogens (including zoonotic e.g., Salmonella, E. coli, Campylobacter, brucella, etc., and antimicrobial resistant strains) Chemical: Mycotoxins, residues of pesticides or drugs, processing chemicals (addition/contamination) etc. Physical: Extraneous/foreign materials e.g., glass, plastic, metal etc. FAO (1996) Food safety hazards definition: Food safety hazards definition: biological, chemical, or physical agents in food, including allergens, or a condition of food with the potential to cause an adverse health effect. Hazards may be introduced at various stages from farm to fork, and risks vary between simple and industrialised food systems.

  41. Food Safety Hazards One Health Lens on Campylobacter (2/2) Why Campylobacter spp.? Environment Climate change sensitive, heat stress increases shedding in birds, higher temperatures and humidity increase pathogen survival and replication rates, and vector prevalence, increased human transmission from leisure activities, risk of breaks in cold chain Most important foodborne zoonotic pathogen associated with poultry meat consumption What is it s OH significance? Poultry Humans Common intestinal bacteria, potential to cause diarrhoea, low impact on production, highly transmissible, flies as vectors between flocks, high risk of contamination in processing, AMR strains Acute gastro-intestinal disease, potential fatalities in young & elderly, contributes to environmental enteric dysfunction and stunting, neurological complications (Guillain-Barr Syndrome), cooking kills pathogen, risk contamination of uncooked foods in kitchen preparation. Where should interventions be implemented? Who should be responsible for them? Who bears the cost? Source: Zhang, Beyi & Yin. (2023).

  42. Antimicrobial Resistance One Health and Food Systems

  43. Antimicrobial Resistance - AMR (1/4) AMR occurs when any microorganism (fungi, bacteria, virus, parasite) develops resistance to know anti-microbial (anti-biotics, anti- fungal, antimalarials) treatments. AMR is proportional to the amount of antimicrobial used per person or livestock animal. Unregulated or excessive use in humans and livestock, aquaculture, and agriculture accelerates the emergence and transmission of AMR genes by exerting selective pressure on resistant strains. Public Health 5 million deaths in 2019; predicted to increase to 10 million by 2050 AMR infections cause increased spread to community Increased treatment cost and duration: AMR could cost from $300 billion to more than $3.4 trillion annually by 2050 worldwide. Increased morbidity and mortality of infectious disease Source: O'Neill (2016)

  44. AMR In (animal-sourced) Food Systems (2/4) Animal food systems Contributing factor to the availability of cheap animal-sourced foods Used for growth promotion and disease prevention; secondarily used for disease treatment Poor animal welfare conditions increase the need for antimicrobials A lack of access to pathogen- and animal- specific antimicrobials contributes to poor welfare Alternatives to antimicrobials: vaccines, improved biosecurity, animal welfare, and nutrition Total antimicrobial consumption in animals in 228 countries is estimated at 63,151 tons. Projected to rise by 67% by 2030, and nearly 100% in Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (Van Boeckel, 2010).

  45. AMR In the Environment (3/4) Environment Antimicrobial pollution from pharmaceutical production, agricultural run-off, livestock manure for fertilizer, and human waste Large volumes enter waterways and other ecosystem Exposes a wide range of microorganisms to antimicrobial-resistant genetic material increasing the likelihood of AMR emergence Horizontal gene transfer occurs environmentally Image Source: Walsh (2018)

  46. AMR - Management (4/4) How do we ensure antibiotic access for humans and livestock whilst reducing the drivers of AMR emergence? Managing AMR requires: A One Health approach considers the following: Biosecurity Surveillance Drug research and discovery Drugs tailored to specific pathogens to prevent overuse Improved animal welfare Regulation of pharmaceutical production, waste management, and sales Tackle the core problem: excessive and non- specific use Access for public health, food security, and ecosystem health Decision-making processes Actions across temporal and geographical scales Inter/Trans-disciplinary

  47. Environment and Health One Health and Food Systems

  48. Environment and Health - Climate Change (1/2) Two-fold: climate change changes disease transmission patterns and investments in irrigation for livestock under food systems transformations in low- and lower-middle income countries increase the risk of vector-borne diseases, such as malaria. The global food system is responsible for up to 30% of total green-house gas emissions -IPCC 2019 Source: Sadie J. Ryan et al. 2019

  49. Environment and Health - Biodiversity Loss (2/2) The links between Agriculture and Biodiversity loss How does this relate to disease emergence? 69% biodiversity decline since 1970, primarily driven by land-use change for agricultural production. Increased likelihood of communicable disease at the wildlife-livestock-human interface: abundance of reservoirs host species in human-dominated landscapes relative to biodiverse ecosystems. WWF (2022) Keesing and Ostfeld, (2021) Increased likelihood of non- communicable disease: homogenization of diets, reduced crop yields, increased reliance on fewer crop and animal species for food provisioning Nitrogen-rich nutrient run-off from aquaculture and terrestrial agriculture cause eutrophication and lethal algal blooms contributing to biodiversity loss Keesing and Ostfeld, (2021) NRDC (2021)
