VETERINARIANS AND ONE HEALTH .
THE ROLE OF VETERINARIANS IN ONE HEALTH. Happy one health day!!!One Health. Such a significant movement—and veterinarians are a vital part.Happy One Health Day! Every year on November 3, International One Health Day is observed around the world.
Veterinarians and their teams are involved in many of the areas that fall under the One Health umbrella. You provide veterinary care for cats, dogs, horses and exotic pets to prevent zoonoses from spreading to their human families and to preserve the human-animal bond for as many years as possible. Vets know a lot about vector-borne and parasitic infections and how to prevent them, perhaps more than their counterparts in human medicine. Vets strive to ensure food safety and are at the forefront of combating antimicrobial resistance. Veterinarians work on technology and procedures that one day may translate to human medicine, or the converse; veterinarians also are working to adapt human medical advances to the veterinary field.
The One Health connections is everywhere you look. When you see science bulletins such as “Flying Insects Are Disappearing at Huge Rates, And We Should All Be Worried,” you’re knowledgeable enough to understand the implications—and you see the connections. Or when you see news articles such as “Pollution linked to 9 million deaths worldwide each year,” you’re concerned about pollution’s effects on animals, as well as humanity—and you see the connections. Or when you read about current events like the deadly black plague outbreak in Madagascar, you know Yersinia is usually transmitted through flea bites and rodents are involved—and you see the connections.
Should you ever doubt the importance of the role of veterinarians in One Health, please take just 13 minutes to watch this;
