One health news, research and analysis - the conversation

June 3, 2025 Hung Nguyen-Viet, _International Livestock Research Institute _ The pace of investment to manage diseases transmissible from animals to humans is dangerously slow. March 24,

2025 Nneka Vivian Iduu, _Auburn University_ Scientists have described antimicrobial resistance as an overlooked pandemic. Improving surveillance can help prevent deadly outbreaks. March 19,

2025 Ignacio López-Goñi, _Universidad de Navarra_ We have learned some lessons, but five years on, our healthcare and information services are still vulnerable. January 14, 2025 Ignacio

López-Goñi, _Universidad de Navarra_ and Elisa Pérez Ramírez, _Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC)_ A recent study has generated alarming headlines, but it’s been

unhelpfully exaggerated in the news. December 24, 2024 Conor Meehan, _Nottingham Trent University_ The UK has bought 5 million doses of a vaccine to protect against bird flu. November 5,

2024 Steven Lam, _CGIAR_ and Delia Grace, _International Livestock Research Institute _ Strategies to beat a disease outbreak like mpox must start with the root causes. November 3, 2024

Dominique Charron, _University of Guelph_ and Cate Dewey, _University of Guelph_ Without a national One Health plan, Canada is vulnerable to threats from worsening climate change,

accelerating biodiversity loss, pandemics and superbugs. October 1, 2024 Rodney E. Rohde, _Texas State University_ and Charles Rupprecht, _Auburn University_ Two rabies epidemics in animals

spurred a state health emergency in Texas and a program that oversees annual mass wildlife vaccination. Millions of doses have been distributed since the ‘90s. September 15, 2024 Mathieu JP

Poirier, _York University, Canada_ World leaders, civil society and global health researchers will convene at the United Nations General Assembly for arguably the most important meeting on

antimicrobial resistance (AMR) this decade. September 4, 2024 Anna Fagre, _Colorado State University_ and Sadie Jane Ryan, _University of Florida_ Infectious diseases can spill over from

animals to humans as well as spill back. Each cross-species transmission gives pathogens a chance to evolve and spread even further. June 25, 2024 Raymond Ho, _Simon Fraser University_;

Kaylee Byers, _Simon Fraser University_, and Rackeb Tesfaye, _Simon Fraser University_ Many unhoused people have pets, however, accessing health care for themselves and their pets can be a

challenge. ‘One Health’ clinics can provide vital health care to unhoused people and their pets. June 12, 2024 Matthew S Miller, _McMaster University_ Our approach to combating pandemics

must shift to one that prioritizes prevention of human infections with zoonotic viruses, rather than focusing on rapid response once human infection is widespread. March 7, 2024 Kaylee

Byers, _Simon Fraser University_; Lara Hollmann, _Simon Fraser University_; Salome A. Bukachi, _University of Nairobi_, and Sarah Robinson, _Simon Fraser University_ Pandemics often have

animal origins, so prevention is often dominated by health and veterinary sciences. However, social sciences’ role in understanding human behaviour is also crucial to prevention. December

11, 2023 Laura Domínguez Mercado, _Concordia University_ The contrasting realities of antimicrobial resistance between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries demands

international co-operation to effectively fight superbugs. September 17, 2023 Muhammad Morshed, _University of British Columbia_ West Nile virus arrived in North America in 1999 and spread

across the continent by 2005. Here’s what you need to know about this mosquito-borne pathogen. September 14, 2023 Frédéric Keck, _Auteurs historiques The Conversation France_ Vaccination

against bird flu offers farmers hope, rather than being caught between the anguish of finding a sick bird and the desolation of having to slaughter their entire flock. July 25, 2023 Jane

Manfredi, _Michigan State University_ Horses and humans share biological similarities that lead them to suffer from similar endocrine and orthopedic diseases. A number of treatments that

work for one species often work for the other. March 27, 2023 Sameer Elsayed, _Western University_ Avian influenza — commonly known as ‘bird flu’ — is infecting domestic and wild birds in

Canada and around the world. November 27, 2022 Eric Muraille, _Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)_; Julien Pillot, _INSEEC Grande École_, and Philippe Naccache, _INSEEC Grande École_ The

absence of norms defining the common good and the insufficient place of scientific arguments in the democratic debate weaken the capacity of liberalism to face global threats. October 9,

2022 Oyewale Tomori, _Nigerian Academy of Science_ Financial support for science and research in Nigeria remains pathetic. This has led to the deterioration in the quantity and quality of

trained virologists at universities.
