“…In our working model, the animal species of choice is the dog, and according to our operative model, the choice of dog should be made by testing its personality with the Monash test that is useful to highlight the dog’s relational abilities combined with the Neo PI-III test on the handler’s personality [63,64]. Some authors show this reliability [65,66,67]. We gave importance to interspecific relationships between the dog and the veterinarian/handler/owner to obtain a balanced and harmonious relationship for both species.…”

Background: Animal-assisted intervention (AAIs) represent an adequate expression of integrated medicine, according to the One Health approach. We argue that AAIs are interventions based on interspecific relationships between humans and animals. Although there are many studies on the effects of AAIs on animal and human health and wellbeing, research is still needed to give us more data. For example, information is still lacking on the aspects characterizing and influencing the interspecific relationships occurring in AAIs. The efficacy of an intervention based on interspecific relationships will be influenced by different factors, such as attachment styles and personalities of both the animal and the handler, an appropriate choice of animal species and their individuality, animal educational training techniques, the relationship between the handler and the animal, and relational reciprocity between animal, the patients, and members of the working team. Method: This article aims to contribute to the study of interspecific relationships in AAIs via theoretical considerations. An interspecific relationship determines the result of safe interventions, which directly influences the welfare of the animal. Results and considerations: AAIs should be evaluated systemically as a network within a process in which every component interacts with and influences other components. Standardized methods using appropriate tests and parameters are needed to better select appropriate animals (i.e., species and individual subjects) using interspecific relational competences as well as appropriate educational training methods and health protocols to assess potential risks.

“…We focused on the DPQ as we considered it to the most rigorously developed dog personality questionnaire-one that included consultations from dog experts, a series of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, inter-rater reliability tests, test-retest evaluations, and predictive validity batteries among large diverse samples of dogs. There is a high degree of conceptual and empirical overlap between the DPQ and other measures of dog personality (Henriksson, 2016;Posluns et al, 2017;Rayment, Peters, Marston, & Groef, 2016).…”

“…Ley et al [44] showed his affidability. Recently, a meta-analysis demonstrated that this measure, along with behaviour, showed high reliability over time [45,46,47]. The dog was educated together with the conducting veterinarian, who was also the owner, to develop a harmonious and balanced relationship between them.…”

“…The veterinary conductor allowed the dog to move away and back even during the session [56]. These conditions are also important for total safety from possible zoonotic risks [42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57]. The training program followed the guidelines of the national center for sports education (CSEN Rome, Italia).…”

Most human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine trials have lacked efficacy and empirical vaccine lead targets are scarce. Thus far, the only independent correlate of reduced risk of HIV-1 acquisition in humans is elevated levels of V2-specific antibodies identified in the modestly protective RV144 vaccine trial. Ten years after RV144, human and non-human primate vaccine studies have reassessed the potential contribution of V2-specific antibodies to vaccine efficacy. In addition, studies of natural HIV-1 infection in humans have provided insight into the development of V1V2-directed antibody responses and their impact on clinical parameters and disease progression. Functionally diverse anti-V2 monoclonal antibodies were isolated and their structurally distinct V2 epitope regions characterized. After RV144, a plethora of research studies were performed using different model systems, immunogens, protocols, and challenge viruses. These diverse studies failed to provide a clear picture regarding the contribution of V2 antibodies to vaccine efficacy. Here, we summarize the biological functions and clinical findings associated with V2-specific antibodies and discuss their impact on HIV vaccine research.
