There is a growing recognition of the potential importance of pathogen transmission at the wildlife-livestock interface in the epidemiology of diseases that impact on agriculture, human health and biodiversity. In our rapidly changing world the interface between human and wildlife populations has been profoundly modified by human activity. Effective management of disease risks at the wildlife-livestock interface should be sustainable, based on sound epidemiological and ecological knowledge, and must balance the requirements for preserving biodiversity, protecting
Although not a zoonotic disease, rinderpest is the first animal disease eradicated from the world (second disease after smallpox). There is much we have learned from the fight against rinderpest and that we are applying today to address other diseases.
Antibiotics among pollutants making agriculture the greatest source of water pollution
Dear friends and colleagues,
Agriculture is now the greatest source of water pollution worldwide, and among the most dangerous agro-pollutants is antibiotics and genes of resistant antibiotics, according to the FAO.
A press release by the FAO on 20 June says that water pollution from unsustainable agricultural practices poses a serious risk to human health and the planet's ecosystems. “In many countries the biggest source of water pollution today is agriculture — not cities or industry — while worldwide, the most common chemical contaminant found in groundwater aquifers is

Participatory epidemiology (PE) is an emerging field that is based on the use of participatory techniques for the harvesting of qualitative epidemiological information contained within community observations, existing veterinary knowledge, and traditional oral history. It relies on the widely accepted techniques of participatory rural appraisal, surveys, and qualitative epidemiology (Schwabe, 1984). Thus, direct observation and the use of qualitative enquiry to collect epidemiological intelligence from the community are at the foundation of modern epidemiology.

Dear subscriber, Today is 28 of September and World Rabies Day. WHO, OIE, FAO, together with GARC, are urging countries to develop appropriate investment strategies to eliminate human rabies. The disease is mainly transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected dog and is widespread in low-income countries, with little or no domestic and stray dog management or vaccination programmes. Pilot programmes have successfully demonstrated that elimination of rabies is achievable mainly through mass dog-vaccination campaigns, supported by improved access to post-exposure prophylaxis (post-bite treatment) to people immediately after a suspected dog-bite. Over 95% of human cases of rabies

Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories, with 95% of human deaths reported in Africa and Asia, mostly in rural areas. Recently dog-mediated human rabies deaths have been extensively discussed as a candidate for global elimination. Although there is a good dog rabies vaccine and effective human post exposure prophylaxis available, there are still many challenges for implementing rabies control, especially in developing countries.

Dear subscribers, Please find below the next combined FAO VPH bulletin. It is time again to review the e-bulletin and see if there are any other areas that you would be interested in. We will therefore shortly send you some questions to see how we can better tailor the bulletin to your needs. Of interest also the Manifesto for 2015 elaborated by the British Veterinary Association “A call to action for politicians and policymakers” in which One Health figures prominently http://www.bva.co.uk/News-campaigns-and-policy/Newsroom/News-releases/Migrated-Assets/BVA-Manifesto-2015---A-call-to-action-for-politicians-and-policymakers/.
Dear subscribers, Apologies for not having been able to send out this VPH bulleting and a further issue as we are currently facing some problems with the system. Recently Patrick Otto has re-located from HQ to the sub-regional office in Harare, Zimbabwe and we will certainly miss him here. I also wanted to share with you a WHO vacancy announcement that I just received as they are now recruiting for the post of Coordinator for AMR . External applications will need to be made through the WHO website at http://www.who.int/employment/en/ and the position can also be found at https://erecruit.who.int/public/hrd-cl-vac-view.asp?o_c=1000&jobinfo_uid_c=30716&vaclng=en
Dear subscribers, Hope you all had a good start and taking this opportunity to convey out best wishes for 2015. The year has started with several avian influenza outbreaks of various strains across the globe. The Ebola outbreaks are still ongoing in West Africa and the progress being made in the field of vaccines seems to be promising. Still the impact of this disease on lives and livelihoods is unprecedented. Again this year we welcome receiving your relevant information and announcements of events/vacancies for dissemination through this e-bulletin
Dear subscribers, The year is coming to an end and hardly any time left to reflect. We certainly would like to thank you for reading our bulletins and a special thanks to Dr. Sandhya Sukumaran for her hard work with putting them together.
Just taking a few minutes and thinking about what we did not know last year but have been engaged in or confronted with in 2014 ? Ebola has made a huge impact and there are many lessons we have learned. But for each of us there have certainly been many more things we would not have thought
Many relevant events to share such as last weeks 4th Neglected Zoonotic Disease (NZD) Meeting at WHO-HQ in Geneva organized by WHO jointly with FAO and OIE and the ICONZ and ADVANZ projects.

Dear subscriber, With all the Ebola related activities it will be important not to forget that World Rabies Day will coming up next week. In countries affected by Ebola we are worried that diseases as rabies will also increase. Also this year FAO, OIE and WHO are joining forces to engage in rabies prevention and control. The Global Alliance for rabies Control (GARC) has launched this year #TogetherAgainstRabies and have a nice initiative on “Me and My dog” (https://meandmydog.rabiesalliance.org/ ). Would be nice to see you and your dogs there ☺

Dear subscribers, In this FAO VPH Update we have combined the news from the last two weeks. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is keeping us all very busy and we are seeing that it is not a merely public health issues but has become a complex emergency, requiring a broader “whole of society approach”. We are seeing the impact of this disease on food security and people’s lives and livelihoods. Quarantined villages often are not able to plant or harvest or go to markets to sell their produce. The impact of Ebola is far reaching and FAO has set

The data of the infection in domestic animals , compiled in my book “Schistosomes and Schistosomiasis in South Asia (Springer.com ISBN 978-81-322-05388), clearly establish high mortality and production losses due to Schistosomiasis though with problems of diagnosing and treating the disease. Even nasal Schistosomiasis or snoring disease with pathognomic symptoms of snoring sound and nasal granuloma, has remained undiagnosed in geographical areas where the

IDF Survey on the use of mastitis therapy & recommendations on dairy cattle
Within the framework of its activities addressing Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the IDF Standing Committee on Animal Health and Welfare and the IDF Task Force on AMR are gathering information on the treatment options and recommendations given for mastitis. The information gathered will be used to prepare an overview of current practices in the dairy sector and/or guidance material to reduce the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in dairy cattle. Our goal is to present this information at the IDF Mastitis Conference 2019.
Let me invite you to attend the webinar event (Zoom link https://fao.zoom.us/j/93690423594: Meeting ID: 936 9042 3594; Passcode: 962904) to launch the new FAO publication "Guidance on sustainable cricket farming" on 17 December 2020, 14:00-15:15, ICT (Bangkok).

Dear colleagues,
FAO recommends countries in the Americas to be on high alert for wild bird mortalities and poultry outbreaks due to H5 highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI).
The current global crisis has highlighted the interdependence of human, animal and environmental health, and the need for a One Health approach to overcome existing challenges and emerging threats associated with zoonotic disease.
Rabies is one of the oldest known zoonoses. It is entirely preventable, and yet it remains a major public health and animal health problem. Rabies control and elimination is achievable through a united, One Health approach that strengthens human and animal health systems and drives progress
