TLDR
As a group of students from ecology, medicine, veterinary medicine, and global public health, a vision for improving tertiary education to prepare health professionals for the One Health concept is offered.Abstract:
Emerging infectious diseases are economically, socially, medically, and environmentally costly, as evidenced by the H1N1 influenza pandemic. Their broad consequences demand interdisciplinary solutions. One such solution, known as the One Health approach, is a growing global strategy that is being adopted by health organizations and policy makers in response to this need. It recognizes the interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health in an attempt to inform health policy, expand scientific knowledge, improve healthcare training and delivery, and address sustainability challenges. Education will play a particularly important role in realizing the One Health concept; however, a shortage of collaborative student programs, insufficient environmental training for health professionals, and a lack of institutional support impede progress. As a group of students from ecology, medicine, veterinary medicine, and global public health, we offer a vision for improving tertiary education to prepare environmental and health professionals to address a changing world. We outline the need for, and challenges facing, One Health and suggest ways to implement a collaborative educational network, both within the US and internationally. We also emphasize training opportunities and highlight potential hotspots of One Health excellence in the US, which are poised to use existing educational resources to train a new generation of One Health professionals.read more

Conservation efforts may increase malaria burden in the Brazilian Amazon.
Denis Valle,James S. Clark +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that cities close to protected areas (PA) tend to have higher malaria incidence than cities far from PA’s, and cost analysis of reduced carbon emissions from conservation efforts in the region should account for increased malaria morbidity.

Global trends in emerging infectious diseases
Kate E. Jones,Nikkita Gunvant Patel,Marc A. Levy,Adam Storeygard,Adam Storeygard,Deborah Balk,Deborah Balk,John L. Gittleman,Peter Daszak +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that global resources to counter disease emergence are poorly allocated, with the majority of the scientific and surveillance effort focused on countries from where the next important EID is least likely to originate.

Emerging Infectious Diseases of Wildlife-- Threats to Biodiversity and Human Health
TL;DR: These phenomena have two major biological implications: many wildlife species are reservoirs of pathogens that threaten domestic animal and human health; second, wildlife EIDs pose a substantial threat to the conservation of global biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of regional climate change on human health
TL;DR: The growing evidence that climate–health relationships pose increasing health risks under future projections of climate change is reviewed and that the warming trend over recent decades has already contributed to increased morbidity and mortality in many regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for human disease emergence.
TL;DR: This study represents the first quantitative analysis identifying risk factors for human disease emergence, with protozoa and viruses particularly likely to emerge, and helminths particularly unlikely to do so, irrespective of their zoonotic status.

TL;DR: Although vector-borne diseases will expand their reach and death tolls, especially among elderly people, will increase because of heatwaves, the indirect effects of climate change on water, food security, and extreme climatic events are likely to have the biggest effect on global health.
