Summary
The One Health concept emphasizes transdisciplinary collaboration for animal, human, and environmental health. This research identified key needs for One Health success, including data integration and joint priorities.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Epidemiology
- Public Health
- Environmental Health
Background:
- The One Health concept promotes transdisciplinary collaboration across human, animal, and environmental health sectors.
- A panel discussion at the 2015 International Society of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE) conference identified critical needs for One Health approaches.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify gaps and essential requirements for successful transdisciplinary One Health collaborations.
- To analyze the evolution and scope of One Health research presented at ISVEE conferences.
Main Methods:
- A panel discussion was conducted during the ISVEE conference in Merida, Mexico (November 2015).
- A systematic review of abstracts presented at ISVEE conferences containing the term "One Health" was performed.
Main Results:
- Key needs identified include developing dynamic collaborations, improving data integration from diverse sources, and establishing joint One Health priorities.
- Analysis revealed a significant increase in the use of the "One Health" term over time.
- One Health research has been presented at ISVEE since at least 2009, with contributions from 41 countries and 69 institutions.
Conclusions:
- Further development of transdisciplinary collaborations, data management strategies, and institutional support are crucial for advancing One Health.
- The growing body of research presented at ISVEE highlights the increasing importance and diversity of the One Health field.

01:26Introduction to Epidemiology
2.3K
Epidemiology, known as the cornerstone of public health, involves studying the distribution and determinants of health-related events in defined populations and applying these insights to control health issues. This is essential for understanding how diseases spread, identifying populations at greater risk, and implementing measures to control or prevent outbreaks. Epidemiology addresses not only infectious diseases but also non-communicable conditions like cancer and cardiovascular disease,...

01:26Principles of Disease Surveillance
728
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

01:21Causality in Epidemiology
1.8K
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

5.5K
Biostatistics involves the application of statistical techniques to scientific research in health-related fields, including biology and public health. These techniques are essential for designing studies, collecting data, and analyzing it to draw meaningful conclusions. Given the complexity of biological processes, particularly in studies involving human subjects, biostatistical methods are crucial for effectively organizing and interpreting data that might otherwise obscure underlying patterns...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

25.5K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.
