{"title":"Brucellosis Surveillance and Control: A One Health Case Study","authors":"J. Zinsstag","doi":"10.1079/onehealthcases.2023.0004","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1079/onehealthcases.2023.0004","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 \u0000 Brucellosis is one of the world’s major zoonoses (\u0000 \u0000 Dean\u0000 et al\u0000 ., 2012a\u0000 \u0000 ). Human infection results mainly from direct contact with infected animals (often occupational exposure) or from the consumption of contaminated raw milk or dairy products (consumer exposure). Human brucellosis exposure can ultimately only be prevented by its elimination in animals. Control and elimination in the animal host are most effectively achieved by mass vaccination and, if possible, subsequent test-and-slaughter programmes (\u0000 \u0000 Zinsstag\u0000 et al\u0000 ., 2011\u0000 \u0000 ). Economic studies show that it is highly profitable for pastoral societies to eliminate brucellosis. The societal benefits are three times higher than the investment in the mass vaccination of livestock (\u0000 \u0000 Roth\u0000 et al\u0000 ., 2003\u0000 \u0000 ). Hence, brucellosis control is a landmark example of the benefits of a One Health approach to zoonoses control, when compared to focusing solely on public health. The most important causative agents are\u0000 Brucella melitensis\u0000 (sheep and goats),\u0000 Brucella abortus\u0000 (cattle),\u0000 B. suis\u0000 (pigs) and\u0000 B. canis\u0000 (dogs). Brucella are gram-negative coccobacillary bacteria with an intracellular predilection in the host. The main clinical feature in livestock is late-stage abortion (Figure\u0000 1\u0000 ), at which time bacteria are excreted in high numbers. Brucella may be shed during prolonged periods in milk after the cessation of clinical signs. Brucellosis causes mainly a loss of fertility and a reduction of milk production in sheep, goats and cattle. Symptoms of the disease in people are highly variable. In general,\u0000 B. melitensis\u0000 causes a more severe illness, with less severe forms caused by\u0000 B. suis\u0000 and\u0000 B. abortus\u0000 . The main symptoms are fever, sweats, malaise, anorexia, headache, arthralgia, myalgia, backache and weight loss (\u0000 \u0000 Dean\u0000 et al\u0000 ., 2012b\u0000 \u0000 ). The bacteria can localize anywhere in the body. Two-thirds of the cases become chronic and the illness can continue for years if patients do not receive appropriate treatment (\u0000 \u0000 Roth\u0000 et al\u0000 ., 2003\u0000 \u0000 ). There is no or very rare human-to-human transmission of brucellosis. Acute human brucellosis without complications should be treated with a combination therapy of doxycycline-streptomycin or doxycycline-gentamicin. Focal forms often require prolonged treatment.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Swiss TPH logo\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 This case study is extracted from Chapter 14 of Zinsstag\u0000 et al.\u0000 2015 (OH Book) and the Policy brief on the elimination of brucellosis in Central Asia.\u0000 \u0000 © The Authors 2023\u0000","PeriodicalId":415773,"journal":{"name":"One Health Cases","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134428831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ALHT is native to east Asia but was accidentally introduced into New Zealand and Australia in the early 1990s/late 1880s, respectively. It is now well established in these countries and it is a competent vector for\u0000 Theileria orientalis\u0000 Ikeda, which can cause significant livestock morbidity and mortality. Recently, this tick was introduced into North America. It was first formally detected on sheep in New Jersey in 2017, although it is now thought that it may have been present in the USA since 2010 but was initially misidentified as the morphologically similar rabbit tick\u0000 H. leporispalustris\u0000 (Packard, 1869). As of August 2022, this tick has been reported in 17 US eastern states. In this case study, we illustrate how we engaged an interdisciplinary team to examine the habitat suitability for the ALHT across North America under current and future climatic conditions. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we also considered potential routes of entry into Canada from the north-eastern states of the USA. Using published and current surveillance data, we generated habitat suitability models to predict the most likely areas in North America for the geographic expansion of the ALHT. Following discussions with climate change experts and entomologists, models were also developed to examine future habitat suitability under selected climate change scenarios. Interviews with experts and government colleagues suggest that likely routes of entry into Canada include cross-border movement of infested terrestrial wildlife and livestock, dog importations and the movement of migratory birds. Enhanced tick surveillance, including the use of citizen science, is required to gain a better understanding of how this tick might spread in the future.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The logo of T C C dash 3 W.

In this case study, we illustrate how we engaged communities, academic partners from the University of Calgary (UoC), and the experts and policy makers from the Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) to conduct research and develop policies regarding ticks and TBDs in Bhutan. The team used a transdisciplinary approach to design and conduct an active field-surveillance programme. Live ticks were collected from cattle to determine tick species diversity, infestation prevalence and geographic distribution. Habitat suitability models were also developed for four common tick species identified in Bhutan by engaging environmental modellers from UoC. Further, we conducted face-to-face interviews with 246 farmers in eastern Bhutan to understand their knowledge, management practices and perspectives on ticks and TBDs. Five genera and 13 species of ixodid ticks were identified. Despite a high level of acaricide usage among farmers, we found that the level of knowledge about ticks and TBDs was low. The research results were shared with the communities and other stakeholders to inform and initiate the development and adoption of effective tick prevention and control measures. We conclude that such collaborative research projects using an interdisciplinary approach and involving communities have huge potential to transfer research findings into policy and practice.","PeriodicalId":415773,"journal":{"name":"One Health Cases","volume":"2008 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125625153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We started with the challenge of how to find out what to do, identifying priorities together with all actors, and framing and setting up the project. From the agreed upon goals, research questions were formulated and discussed with the participants. Ideas emerged on interventions, which were converted into action plans, and again scrutinized by the actors and project committees.

This case study of coccidioidomycosis (valley fever) illustrates the power of integrative surveillance for One Health.\u0000 \u0000 Fungi belong to a taxonomically distinctive group of organisms that are among the most diverse, widely distributed and metabolically versatile organisms on earth. Physically, fungi range in size from microscopic yeasts, visible mould with colourful spores, and mushrooms, which may be larger than a human palm. Through their genetic profile and heterotrophy, fungi are more related to animals than to plants. Fungi can cause disease in humans, animals and plants, and they produce infectious forms such as lightweight spores, which can survive long in natural environments. Therefore, many diseases caused by pathogenic fungi are better understood and controlled through a transdisciplinary One Health approach. Fungi produce antibiotics such as penicillin, and they are also capable of developing resistance to many medications used to treat infections, making them a major threat to global health.
