“…Based in part on our data, the Healthy Pets, Healthy Families Initiative supported a number of community and educational outreach efforts in 2014, with a focus on animal bite prevention. 29 The initiative uses ABD data to identify communities with the highest number of dog bites (particularly bites involving hands). These geographic areas are referred to as “hot spots.” The initiative promotes various health education activities in dog-bite hot spots throughout the county.…”

“…A number of experts in our study suggested practical ways of facilitating this such as seminars, conferences and regional collaborative groups in order to provide a platform for developing relationships between GPs and veterinarians and increasing the comprehension of each other's professional skills and capabilities. Others have suggested that the goal of these endeavours should be to build trust [12,52], with some suggesting this as a critical turning point in breaking down medical practitioner's ‘anthropocentric viewpoint’ [53] and professional isolation. The lack of clearly defined competencies and agreed role for One Health has been identified previously as an impediment to collaboration in Australia [54].…”

Despite agreement that One Health practices facilitate effective management of zoonoses, the pathways to a coordinated and collaborative approach by general medical practitioners (GPs) and veterinarians are hampered by limited understanding of how this can be practically incorporated in routine clinical settings. Data collected during a Delphi survey of Australian One Health ‘experts’ was used to explore opinions and insights into desired knowledge, attitudes and practices of effective One Health clinical practitioners. Five categories were identified as essential for GPs and veterinarians, namely: accurate baseline knowledge of specific zoonoses; a ‘big picture’ understanding of zoonoses; understanding of professional roles within the One Health paradigm; understanding one's own professional limitations; and collaboration and referral improve outcomes. An outline of the roles and responsibilities of GPs and veterinarians as effective One Health clinicians was determined based on the opinions of the expert panel. Educational interventions that foster interprofessional communication and collaboration will be necessary to successfully bring about the cultural change required to achieve effective One Health practice in Australia, and thus expedite improved human, animal and environmental health outcomes.

“…Even if properly diagnosed, not all zoonotic diseases are reportable and disease reporting systems for humans and animals are generally separate (Day et al., ). Efforts are being taken by some entities to better harmonize animal and human disease reporting systems, but overall these systems are poorly integrated (Ehnert et al., ). Further work in this area is needed to determine the actual risk dogs on livestock farms pose.…”

SummaryDogs are often present on livestock farms, where they serve important management and companion roles, yet may be involved in zoonotic pathogen transmission.Numerous factors can potentially alter the risk of exposure to zoonotic pathogens, such as the dog's access to livestock, close dog-human contact and an increasing immunocompromised human population. The objective of this study was to quantify and qualify dog ownership among livestock owners, their dog husbandry and biosecurity practices, the dogs' access to livestock and potential risks for zoonotic pathogen transmission. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to 2,000 presumed Ohio livestock owners. Data were collected on demographics, dog husbandry practices, attitudes surrounding zoonotic diseases and attachment to and preventive veterinary care for the dogs. There were 446 responders who met the study inclusion criteria as an Ohio livestock farm owner, with 297 (67%) also owning dogs. Approximately 52% of dogowning households included at least one individual at higher disease risk (i.e., <5 years,
