„One Health“ requirements
- Necessary (but not sufficient) requirements:
– Recognition of intextricable linkage of human, livestock, companion animal and wildlife health.
- Sufficient requirements:
– Added value of health and wellbeing of humans and animals and/or financial savings from closer cooperation of human and animal health.

Ecohealth Leveraging Green Space to Connect Environment & Health:
Ontario examples
Karen Morrison, PhD Vice-President, IAEH Adjunct Professor, York University, Canada
Our goal is to develop new collaborations among the human health, social and environmental sectors and build a common agenda to foster improved health and well being outcomes for Ontarians through the provision
- f better ecosystem quality,
increased green space and enhanced access to nature.
Examples of Activities to Date
Officially began in 2015!
Forums: Health Benefits of Green Space
Workshops: Shade Working Group and Audits
- Newsletters
- Increasing engagement
- Local and provincial
Mailing List: Several hundred interested parties
Significance
- Sectors see the value in collaboration/leveraging
– Collective Impact approach – Mutually reinforcing activities – Policy, Research, Communication
- Myriad of opportunities
– Ample co-funding
- foundations, environment and health NGOs, government
agencies
– Different lenses
- chronic disease, climate change, biodiversity, etc.
- Creating a new public space for discussions about
the link between human health and the environment
– Legitimizes concerns – Mobilizes action
- No focus on zoonoses or animal health
– Not well-served by the One Health concept
Lead in Human in Rural Area of Bangladesh
- 183 school aged children
– 14% (26) had blood lead levels > 10 μg/dL.
- 16 parents
– 25% (4) had blood lead levels > 10 μg/dL.
- No obvious exposure to lead
– Only industries: Brick kilns, fabric dying and weaving
Mitra AK. Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2009;6(1):84-95. 1.5 year old children (n=329) Mean 6.0 μg/L lead in urine Range (0.8 – 70) 5 year old children (n=335)Mean 5.3 μg/L lead in urine Range (0.7 – 26) Bergkvist C. Environ Res. 2010;110(7):718-24
- 430 Pregnant women
– 13% had blood lead levels > 7 μg/dL
- Pesticides and herbicides use, preparation and storage as a risk factor in case
control study
- Laboratory analysis of pesticides showed lead @32.1 ppm, Arsenic @ 10.5
ppm

Lead in Foods and Vegetables in Bangladesh
Lead in edible fish from fresh water Dhaka, Bangladesh
- Lead concentration at dry muscle @2.08 µg/dl
- EC maximum level of Pb in fish 0.96 µg/g dry weight
- Per capita 21 g/person/day for males and females of all ages
Lead in fresh vegetable in coastal area, Bangladesh
- 12 species of fresh vegetables (n=120) were tested
- Pb ranges from 0.2 -1.2 mg/kg which exceed WHO/FAO 2012
recommended level
- Estimated dietary intake (EDI) is 2.1 mg/day for Amaranthus hybridus
Lead in fresh milk Chittagong, Bangladesh
- Fresh Milk sample from dairy farms Chittagong were tested
- 6.3% cross the maximum tolerable level recommended by 10 μg/dL

One Health Solution One Health Solution
- Healthy Environment for healthy people
- Justified and sustainable use of pesticides/
insecticides
- Wildlife and forest conservation
- Sustainable use of natural resources
- Ensuring safe food for betterment of next
generation
- Understanding ecology and interrupt the
transmission chain
Community Engagement Participatory Research Good Agriculture & Environment Practice Control contamination at production level

Amplification in a secondary host Transmission to humans and dogs Direct transmission to humans? Human to human?
Hendra – using a one health approach
Bats Horses (not so far!) (not so far!)
Man Man
Dog
Vaccinate humans
So what should we do?
Disperse the bats Kill the bats! Keep bats and horses apart Treat infected humans (use of immune serum) Treat infected horses Destroy infected (suspect) Infected horses Vaccinate horses
Added-value created by a One-Health Approach
- Hendra is an excellent example of what can
be achieved
- The outcomes in terms of protecting bats,
managing the disease in horses and reducing the risk to humans could not have been achieved without a One Health approach
- This approach included operational/field
