Bridging Science and Policy for Animal Health Surveillance: ICAHS4 2022
The current COVID-19 pandemic has expanded lay people’s vocabulary; PCR-testing is no longer mentioned only by virologists, nor are the terms basic reproduction ratio and herd-immunity limited to epidemiologists. This expansion of vocabulary that was previously only used in specialist settings already demonstrates global, societal impact. We have learnt that it is insufficient simply to act on disease emergence and spread. More focus is needed on prevention and surveillance of the precursors of emerging infectious disease, as well as early detection. To succeed in this, it is a necessity to collaborate across sectors – academics, governments, industry and the public – in a transdisciplinary way.
A guide to implementing the One Health Joint Plan of Action at national level
The Guide to implement the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA) at national level has been developed collaboratively by the four Quadripartite organizations, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Guide is complementary to the OH JPA, which was launched in October 2022 in response to international requests to prevent future pandemics and to promote health sustainably through the One Health approach. Thus the Guide serves as an operational addendum to OH JPA, translating the objectives and high-level activities described in the OH JPA into national level context. The purpose of this Guide is to provide countries with countries with practical guidance on how to implement the One Health approach through the adoption and adaptation of the OH JPA, aligning with the three pathways of the theory of change. The Guide has an inclusive scope to allow every country to use it, regardless of its status with respect to One Health development and implementation.
Modeling Disease Spread and Control
Mathematical models are useful tools to understand the epidemiology and agent-host interaction of diseases. They are developed and applied since over a century, but with increasing computer capacity, they become increasingly prominent as part of evidence based decision making. Mathematical models are frequently used to construct preparedness and contingency plans for highly contagious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease. This allows proposing effective strategies to control the spread of the disease in case of an incursion, and avails useful tools to support decision making during an outbreak. They are also used to monitor, prevent and control endemic diseases within populations or farms...

Global technical consultation on the strategic framework for early warning of animal health threats
Effective early warning systems provide the capacity to generate and disseminate timely and meaningful warning information to enable individuals, communities and organizations threatened by a hazard to prepare and to act appropriately and in sufficient time to reduce the possibility of harm or loss. [Author] To support countries in the prevention and management of losses caused by animal diseases the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working to develop a strategic framework for early warning (EW) of animal health threats. [Author] FAO organized a global technical consultation to gather expertise across various health sectors and inform development of the framew...
One Health High-Level Expert Panel Annual Report 2023
This report summarizes the activities and results achieved in 2023 by the 26 experts of the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP). [Author] The first term of OHHLEP, initially set to expire in June 2023, was extended until December 2023 to allow for the completion of remaining deliverables and for the preparation for a second Term of OHHLEP by the Quadripartite. [Author] The Quadripartite updated the OHHLEP Terms of Reference for a second two-year term to focus on the implementation of the One Health approach and the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OH JPA) and launched a call for expressions of interest to renew the membership of the OHHLEP.

Integrated Approaches to Health: Concepts and Experiences in Framing, Integration and Evaluation of One Health and EcoHealth
Integrated approaches to health address health challenges arising from the intertwined spheres of humans, animals and ecosystems. This eBook is the product of an interdisciplinary effort to establish how One Health, EcoHealth and other integrated approaches to health are conceptualized, framed, implemented and evaluated today. It supplements the handbook for the evaluation of One Health, published by the COST Action “Network for Evaluation of One Health (NEOH)” with in depth reflections on the theory behind integrated approaches to health and One Health more specifically, a brief version of the NEOH evaluation framework, a supplementary evaluation approach, and eight case studies in whic...
