One World, One Health, One Medicine Flashcards
Outline the one health concept
The one health concept recognizes the inter relationship between animal, human and environmental health
What are some ways humans and animals interact?
- Companion
- Sports
- Food
- Research
- Ecological
What are microbes?
Small living organisms and can only be seen with a microscope
Why are some microbes useful?
Can be useful for making foods such as yogurt, bread, beer wine and soy sauce
Why are some microbes bad?
Can cause food poisoning such as Campylobacter, E. Coli, Salmonella and listeria
Where do food poisoning microbes come from?
- Soils and manures
- Untreated water
- Skin, fur, feathers, hair, bowel, mucus and blood of animals, humans, birds and insects
How do food poisoning microbes get in the kitchen?
- On raw meats
- On unwashed fruits and vegetables
- On people’s bodies, boxes and clothing
- On unwashed hands
- On animals and insects
What are some typical food concerns?
-Infectious diseases
E. coli
Campylobacter app.
-Parasitic diseases
T. saginata/solium
C. parvum
- Toxic residues
antibiotics
Hormonal
What are zoonotic diseases?
Any infectious disease that is naturally transmitted(vector) from vertebrate animals, both wild and domestic, to humans
How much of known human infectious diseases are zoonotic?
60%
How much of the diseases in recent years( past 10 years) behave had an animal source?
75%
How are zoonoses diseases often contracted in developed countries?
- direct contact with pets
- consumption of contaminated food of animal origin
How are zoonoses diseases contracted in developing countries?
Direct contact with farm or wild animals and their products
Describe how the One Health concept has been enacted
- Convergence of human and animal health
- Collaboration between human veterinary medicine
- joint educational efforts
- joint efforts in prevention, management and control of zoonotic diseases
Why and when was the belief in miasma used in medicine?
Why?- it successfully explained many observations on the contagion of fevers(Mal Aria), plague and even dysentery
When- it was vogue from the 16th century through the 19th century
With the belief in miasmas, how were the cause of diseases explained?
Diseases caused by “bad” or unsalubrious environments, usually atmospheres
In germ theory what does Koch postulate?
- The same microorganism must be found in all cases of a given disease
- This organism must be absent in all normal, un-diseases individual
- The organism must be grown in isolation under laboratory conditions, for generations
- When re-introduced into the host animal, it must produce the same disease as #1
Steps #1 through #4 must be serially repeatable indefinitely
Give 2 examples infectious diseases in foods
E. Coli
Campylobacter app.
Give 2 examples of parasitic diseases from food
T. Saginaw/solium
C. parvum
Good be 2 examples of tpdic residues found in food
Antibiotic
Hormonal
What is a zoonotic disease?
Any infectious disease that is naturally transmitted (vector) from vertebrate animals, both wild and domestic to humans
How much of known human infectious diseases are zoonotic?
60% of known human infectious diseases
Give examples of zoonotic diseases
Influenzas, hemorrhagic fevers, vector borne
How much of the recent diseases(past 10 years) have an animal source?
75%
What aids zoonoses diseases in developed countries?
- direct contact with pets
- consumption of contaminated food of animal origin
What aids zoonoses diseases in developing countries?
-direct contact with farm or wild animals and their products
Describe the one health concept
- Convergence of human and animal health
- Collaborate between human and veterinary medicine
- joint educational efforts
- Joint efforts in prevention, management and control of zoonotic diseases
