Abstract Background Despite the increasing focus on strengthening One Health capacity building global level, challenges remain in devising and implementing real-world interventions particularly Asia-Pacific region. Recognizing these gaps, Action Commission (OHAC) was established as an academic community for action with emphasis research agenda setting to identify actions highest impact. Main text This viewpoint describes of, motivation for, recently formed OHAC. urgent need evidence support...
Lyme disease (LD) is a vector-borne that endemic in many temperate countries, including Switzerland, and currently emerging Canada. This study compares the importance of knowledge, exposure risk perception for adoption individual preventive measures, within between two different populations, one has been living LD region several decades, Neuchâtel canton another where emerging, Montérégie province Québec, Canada.A web-based survey was carried out both regions (814 respondents) 2012....
It is now widely acknowledged that surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) must adopt a “One Health” (OH) approach to successfully address the significant threats this global public health issue poses humans, animals, and environment. While many protocols exist for evaluation surveillance, specific aspect integration OH into systems AMR Use (AMU), suffers from lack common accepted guidelines metrics its monitoring functions. This article presents conceptual framework evaluate in AMU,...
Zoonoses are a growing international threat interacting at the human-animal-environment interface and call for transdisciplinary multi-sectoral approaches in order to achieve effective disease management. The recent emergence of Lyme Quebec, Canada is good example complex health issue which public sector must find protective interventions. Traditional preventive control interventions can have important environmental, social economic impacts as result, decision-making requires systems...
Tick-borne diseases, and especially Lyme Disease (LD), are on the rise in Canada have been met with increasing public health concern. To face these emerging threats, education prevention of tick bites remains mainstay intervention. The objective this study was to assess adoption preventive behaviors toward LD investigate association between behavioral risk factors reported exposure a Canadian, high incidence region (Estrie region, Quebec, Canada).A cross-sectional conducted 2018 which used...
Abstract There is a pressing need for novel approaches to help address climate change and workforce that equipped with combination of new different types knowledges. The One Health (OH) core competencies perhaps offer the knowledges, skills attitudes will be needed in future generation practitioners does not shy away from complexity. objective this research was identify overlapping transferable OH-climate are professionals working change. Using focus groups qualitative content analysis, 23...
Abstract Deer keds (Lipoptena cervi), an introduced European species, are expanding their geographic range in North America. We document first recorded presence Québec, Canada, map distribution, and highlight the detection of pathogens potential public health relevance. In Estrie region southern 47 deer (L. cervi) were collected from 14 (5.5%) 254 harvested white-tailed (Odocoileus virginianus). Borrelia spp. Anaplasma phagocytophilum detected body 1/44 8/44 L. cervi specimens, respectively....
Lyme disease (LD) is a threat to public health in southern regions of Canada. In response, we used One Health approach design an integrated intervention high-incidence LD community Québec aiming increase preventive behaviours the population and reduce density Borrelia burgdorferi-infected Ixodes scapularis ticks environment. The environmental component involved distributing fluralaner baits rodents around residential properties trails from 2019 2023. Effectiveness was measured by changes...
One Health surveillance for antimicrobial resistance has been promoted by the scientific community and international organizations more than a decade. In this article, we highlight issues that need to be addressed improve understanding of effectiveness resistance. We also outline evidence needed support countries planning increase level integration their system. Based on experience in Canada other countries, argue effort is understand measure added value identify most effective strategies....
Regular evaluation of integrated surveillance for antimicrobial use (AMU) and resistance (AMR) in animals, humans, the environment is needed to ensure system effectiveness, but question how. In this study, six different tools were assessed after being applied AMU AMR eight countries: (1) ATLASS: Assessment Tool Laboratories Surveillance Systems developed by Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) United Nations, (2) ECoSur: Evaluation Collaboration tool, (3) ISSEP: Integrated System Project, (4)...
Background: The risk of contracting Lyme disease (LD) can vary spatially because spatial heterogeneity in factors such as social-behavior and exposure to ecological factors. Integrating these inform decision-making should therefore increase the effectiveness mitigation interventions. Objectives: objective this study was develop an integrated social-behavioral risk-mapping approach identify priority areas for LD Methods: conducted Montérégie region Southern Quebec, Canada, where is a newly...
The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the association between pet ownership and quality life (QoL), loneliness, anxiety, stress, overall health, mental health Canadians during COVID-19 pandemic using a One Health perspective. An online bilingual survey completed by 1500 in April-May 2021. Socio-demographics, QoL, stress social support, ownership, attitude towards pets data were collected. Crude adjusted associations well-being indicators estimated. participants from all...
Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a goal for many countries. Integrated surveillance of use (AMU) and prerequisite effective risk mitigation. Regular evaluation any needed to ensure its effectiveness efficiency. The question how evaluate specifically integrated AMU AMR. In an international network called CoEvalAMR, we have developed guidelines selection the most appropriate tools such evaluation. Moreover, assessed different as examples using country case format methodology with...
Abstract Introduction The wildlife trade is an important arena for intervention in the prevention of emerging zoonoses, and leading organisations have advocated more collaborative, multi-sectoral approaches to governance this area. aim study characterise structure function network transnational that interact around assess these characteristics terms how they might support or undermine progress on issues. Methods This used a mixed methods social analysis organisations. Data were collected...
Lyme disease (LD) is a tick-borne emerging in Canada that has been endemic many temperate countries for decades. Currently, one of the main approaches LD prevention promotion individual-level preventive behaviors against ticks. Health are influenced by individual and social factors, important which risk perception. This study aims to describe compare perception LD, within between general populations experts living two different regions: Neuchâtel canton Switzerland, where endemic, Montérégie...
