“…Beyond the paradigm shift called for by OH, namely the reuniting of human, animal, plant and ecosystem health to deal with the current and future health challenges of a complex nature, Wallace et al [53] reinvigorate the notion of specifically focusing on the wider context, which lies behind emerging health problems, including the geopolitical, economic and societal global crises and the unsustainability of natural resource use and current global economic systems. Structural OH is said to 'empirically formalize the connections among capital-led changes in the landscape and shifts in wildlife, agricultural and human health' [51].…”

The current fragmented framework of health governance for humans, animals and environment, together with the conventional linear approach to solving current health problems, is failing to meet today's health challenges and is proving unsustainable. Advances in healthcare depend increasingly on intensive interventions, technological developments and expensive pharmaceuticals. The disconnect grows between human health, animal health and environmental and ecosystems health. Human development gains have come with often unrecognized negative externalities affecting ecosystems. Deterioration in biodiversity and ecosystem services threatens to reverse the health gains of the last century. A paradigm shift is urgently required to de-sectoralize human, animal, plant and ecosystem health and to take a more integrated approach to health, One Health (OH). The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offer a framework and unique opportunity for this. Through analysing individual SDGs, we argue the feasibility of an OH approach towards achieving them. Feasibility assessments and outcome evaluations are often constrained by sectoral politics within a national framework, historic possession of expertise, as well as tried and tested metrics. OH calls for a better understanding, acceptance and use of a broader and transdisciplinary set of assessment metrics. Key objectives of OH are presented: that humans reconnect with our natural past and accept our place in, and dependence on our planet's ecosystems; and that we recognize our dependence on ecosystem services, the impact of our development thereon and accept our responsibility towards future generations to address this. Several action points are proposed to meet these objectives.Keywords: One Health, Health governance, Health policy, Sustainable development goals, Ecosystems health, Global health, Planetary Health Review Methodology: We reviewed academic papers and on line resources for definitions of health for each sector (human, animal, wildlife, plant and ecosystem health). The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the official lists of diseases published by WHO and the OIE were collated and analysed for their suitability for an integrated approach to management. Selected SDGs were chosen as examples to demonstrate the feasibility of an integrated or one Health approach, which was supported by reviewing the relevant literature for each.

“…These include approaches that seek to address the risks of HPAI further upstream-by seeking to modify more distal rather than proximal causes of disease emergence. OH approaches that are more structurally oriented-and treat infectious disease risk as a problem of configuration rather than contamination-necessarily entail that decisions are not simply justified on the basis of immediate factors that impact on the lives of the animals, people and communities at risk from HPAI outbreaks, but also the way in which the structures that underpin society determine how people and animals live within economic and ecological systems (Wallace et al, 2015).…”

“…Finding evidence of a new infectious threat to humans is almost always followed by major negative social and economic consequences for poultry producers and their communities (Peiris and Yen, 2014). The production system and market that promote disease emergence and expression are structured to offset the burdens onto non-humans and disadvantaged people remains beyond the scope of inquiry (Wallace et al, 2015). Small stakeholders in developing nations are blamed for exacerbating the risk even though it is becoming increasingly clear that traditional village-based modes of poultry production are safer than intensive systems operating with imperfect biosecurity (Alders et al, 2014).…”

One Health (OH) is a novel paradigm that recognizes that human and non-human animal health is interlinked through our shared environment. Increasingly prominent in public health responses to zoonoses, OH differs from traditional approaches to animal-borne infectious risks, because it also aims to promote the health of animals and ecological systems. Despite the widespread adoption of OH, culling remains a key component of institutional responses to the risks of zoonoses. Using the threats posed by highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses to human and animal health, economic activity and food security as a case exemplar, we explore whether culling and other standard control measures for animal-borne infectious disease might be justified as part of OH approaches. Our central premise is that OH requires us to reformulate 'health' as universal good that is best shared across species boundaries such that human health and well-being are contingent upon identifying and meeting the relevant sets of human and non-human interests and shared dependencies. Our purpose is to further nascent discussions about the ethical dimensions of OH and begin to describe the principles around which a public health agenda that truly seeks to co-promote human and non-human health could potentially begin to be implemented.

“…So far, HPAI phenotypes detected in the field (i.e. ‘free’ natural environment), were only described among AIV of subtypes H5 and H7 [4]. Some of these viruses including those of the HPAI H5 goose/Guangdong (gs/GD) lineage that emerged in southern China in 1996, have zoonotic potential and are sporadically transmitted from infected birds to humans [5,6].…”

Novel real-time PCR-based patho- and phylotyping of potentially zoonotic avian influenza A subtype H5 viruses at risk of incursion into Europe in 2017

Since November 2016, Europe witnesses another wave of incursion of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) viruses of the Asian origin goose/Guangdong (gs/GD) lineage. Infections with H5 viruses of clade 2.3.4.4b affect wild bird and poultry populations. H5 viruses of clades 2.2, 2.3.1.2c and 2.3.4.4a were detected previously in Europe in 2006, 2010 and 2014. Clades 2.2.1.2 and 2.3.2.1.c are endemic in Egypt and Western Africa, respectively and have caused human fatalities. Evidence exists of their co-circulation in the Middle East. Subtype H5 viruses of low pathogenicity (LPAI) are endemic in migratory wild bird populations. They potentially mutate into highly pathogenic phenotypes following transmission into poultry holdings. However, to date only the gs/GD H5 lineage had an impact on human health. Rapid and specific diagnosis marks the cornerstone for control and eradication of HPAI virus incursions. We present the development and validation of five real-time RT-PCR assays (RT-qPCR) that allow sequencing-independent pathotype and clade-specific distinction of major gs/GD HPAI H5 virus clades and of Eurasian LPAI viruses currently circulating. Together with an influenza A virus-generic RT-qPCR, the assays significantly speed up time-to-diagnosis and reduce reaction times in a OneHealth approach of curbing the spread of gs/GD HPAI viruses.
