International Conference on One Health

Examining how the health of animals, humans, and the environment is linked through the food chain and ways to ensure safe and nutritious food.

Highlighting the interconnectedness of wildlife health, ecosystem integrity, biodiversity conservation, and zoonotic disease transmission to humans and wildlife disease transmission to livestock, also including strategies for effective disease surveillance and prevention of future outbreaks.

Focusing on the global issue of antimicrobial resistance, its impact on human and animal health, and potential solutions. Exploring the link between environmental factors, such as pollution and improper waste management, and the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Exploring the effects of environmental pollutants, including particulate matter and industrial pollutants, on human and animal health and finding ways to mitigate their impact. Analyzing the impact of water pollution on the transmission of waterborne diseases like cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis A. Examining the impacts of floods and droughts on human and animal health.

Highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and data sharing in monitoring and addressing health challenges. One Health Approaches for Mitigating Disease Impacts and highlighting how interdisciplinary strategies between veterinary professionals and public health experts can improve health outcomes.

Exploring the health implications of climate change and/or climate variability (e.g., El Niño, La Niña) including the impact of increased temperature on human and animal health and on crop quality and growth, and how a holistic approach can mitigate its effects. Exploring the impact on the distribution and transmission patterns of Vector-Borne diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Lyme disease and diseases altered by changes to rodent habitat, water temperatures, or permafrost melting.

Identification, monitoring, and response to new and re-emerging diseases and of novel pathogens and changes in disease dynamics affecting humans and animals. Understanding how environmental changes, such as altered ecosystems due to climate change, can drive new disease emergence and the importance of disease modelling for predictive situations.

Addressing the need for supportive policies and regulations that promote One Health principles and collaboration and how to integrate plans and policies in an economically viable fashion.

With implications in many of the fundamental aspects of our inter-connected health, including food quality, safety, and security and air and water quality, amongst many other factors, maintaining a biodiverse ecosystem is a cornerstone of successful One Health policy implementation and not solely a conservation or environmental concern.

Fostering cross-sector, cross-border partnerships to combat tropical and neglected diseases more effectively.
