One Health Newsletter Editor Honored at Florida Veterinary Medical Association (FVMA) Annual Meeting, April 17, 2009 

 Mary Echols, DVM, MPH awarded FVMA Gold Star Award

 

By Amber Smith

FVMA Director of Communications and Public Relations

 

Dr. Mary Echols is the epitome of the “gentle doctor.’’ Her colleagues describe her as humble, hard working, visionary and extremely effective.

 

Dr. Echols, an Environmental Consultant with the Palm Beach County Health Department, was nominated for the Florida Veterinary Medical Association’s 2009 Gold Star Award by Dr. Lisa Conti, Director of the Florida Department of Health’s Division of Environmental Health. The award is given to a veterinarian who has contributed much of his or her time and energy to the FVMA and/or a local veterinary association as well as promoting the advancement of veterinary medicine and the profession. The recipient must also be a member in good standing of the FVMA. In addition to her work for the Palm Beach County Health Department, Dr. Echols is also the editor of the ONE HEALTH newsletter published by the Florida Department of Health.

 

She brought together the resources and cooperation of the FVMA, the state Department of Health and the veterinary community in general, to launch the state’s ONE HEALTH initiative.

 

“Dr. Echols is the driving force behind the ONE HEALTH initiative,’’ said Dr. Conti. “She began the ONE HEALTH newsletter to reach a wide audience of veterinarians, human health workers and public health professionals to collaborate on protecting and promoting the health of all species.’’

 

Dr. Echols has successfully published four quarterly issues of the newsletter and has received national recognition for her efforts as well as accolades for the high-quality publication.

 

“We are very proud to have Dr. Mary Echols representing the FVMA so favorably,’’ said Dr. Conti.

 

FVMA Executive Director Philip J. Hinkle said it was an easy decision for the FVMA awards committee to make in selecting Dr. Echols as a Gold Star Award recipient.

 

“Dr. Echols truly represents all the criteria of the Gold Star Award. She has done an excellent job in promoting veterinary medicine and is an outstanding example of the profession,’’ Hinkle said.

Gastritis caused by Helicobacter heilmannii probably transmitted from dog to child.
Duquenoy A, Le Luyer B. - See PubMed

[Gastritis caused by Helicobacter heilmannii probably transmitted from dog to child.]

[Article in French]

Duquenoy A, Le Luyer B.

 

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6VKK-4VW4V6S-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=30cdac4b628a92bb413aa4f05d5d56dc

Département de pédiatrie, groupe hospitalier du Havre, 55, Bis rue Gustave-Flaubert, 76083 Le Havre cedex, France.

Gastric infection with Helicobacter heilmannii is rare but is known to be associated with chronic active gastritis, peptic ulcer, and low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma in humans. In contrast to H. pylori, various H. heilmannii species colonize the stomachs of domestic animals, which might be a reservoir for transmission to humans. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy presenting with chronic gastritis caused by H. heilmannii. Endoscopic examination reveals H. heilmannii-like infection on biopsy samples in his two pet dogs. Sequencing of the 16S and 23S ribosomal DNA by PCR was used to compare the H. heilmannii-like bacterial samples isolated in the boy and his dogs. These DNA amplification methods suggest that the boy was infected by his pet dogs (zoonosis). Our patient was cured by treatment with proton-pump inhibitor and antibiotics. Endoscopic follow-up of the boy showed a complete cure of gastritis and eradication of the bacterium.

Methicillin-resistant _Staphylococcus aureus_ (MRSA) infections are a
major cause of human skin and soft tissue infections in the United
States
(1). MRSA colonization and infection also have been observed in
turtles, bats, seals, sheep, rabbits, rodents, cats, dogs, pigs,
birds, horses, and cattle (2--8), and MRSA infections with an
epidemiologic link to animal contact have been reported in veterinary
personnel, pet owners, and farm animal workers (5,7,8).

On 29 Jan 2008, the County of San Diego Health and Human Services
Agency was notified of skin pustules on an African elephant
(_Loxodonta africana_) calf and 3 of its caretakers at a zoo in San
Diego County. After each of these infections (including the calf's
infection) was laboratory confirmed as MRSA, an outbreak investigation
and response was initiated by the zoo and the agency. This report
summarizes the results of that investigation, which identified 2
additional confirmed MRSA infections, 15 suspected MRSA infections,
and 3 MRSA-colonized persons (all among calf caretakers), and
concluded that infection of the elephant calf likely came from a
colonized caretaker.

This is the 1st reported case of MRSA in an elephant and of suspected
MRSA transmission from an animal to human caretakers at a zoo.

Note: Caretakers blew air with their unmasked mouths into the calf's
trunk to stimulate bottle feeding (its mother had died).

http://www.eden-fp6project.net/

 

EDEN (Emerging Diseases in a changing European environment) is an Integrated Project of the European Commission that aims to identify and catalogue those European ecosystems and environmental conditions which can influence the spatial and temporal distribution and dynamics of human pathogenic agents. The project develops and co-coordinates a set of generic methods, tools and skills such as predictive models, early warning and monitoring tools which can be used by decision makers for risk assessment, decision support for intervention and public health policies.

EDEN integrates research in 48 leading institutes from 24 countries. The eco-geographical diversity of the project area covers all relevant European eco-systems from the polar circle in the North to the Mediterranean basin and its link with West Africa in the South, and from Portugal in the West to the Danube delta in the East. EDEN is organised into a series of vertical Sub-Projects linked together by a series of Integrative Activities that include biodiversity monitoring, environmental change detection, disease modelling, remote sensing and image interpretation, information and communication.

Voice of America reporter Peterson Ssendi in Kampala profiles wildlife veterinarian Dr. Gladys Kalema-Zikusoka, an Ashoka Fellow and the work of her group, “Conservation Through Public Health.”

In Uganda, a conservationist is teaching members of poor rural communities that they have more in common with the neighboring wildlife than they think. She says, for example, that disease can be transferred between people and animals. And she says well-kept wildlife sanctuaries can provide an income for the community.

Workshop Report: 'Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity for Surveillance and Response to Emerging Diseases of Zoonotic Origin.'
Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies
Wednesday, January 07, 2009.

Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies

Website Report

 On December 31, 2008 the Institute of Medicine [IOM] released a workshop report in response to their 5 meetings held since June 25, 2008 on 'Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity for Surveillance and Response to Emerging Diseases of Zoonotic Origin.'  For information on the meetings,

see:   http://www.iom.edu/?ID=54653.  There is also a link to access the

full report.

 

The description of the book is "One of the biggest threats today is the uncertainty surrounding the emergence of a novel pathogen or the re-emergence of a known infectious disease that might result in disease outbreaks with great losses of human life and immense global economic consequences. Over the past six decades, most of the emerging infectious disease events in humans have been caused by zoonotic pathogens-those infectious agents that are transmitted from animals to humans.

Noteworthy changes in the patterns of human and animal contact in recent years make conditions ripe for global outbreaks of zoonotic diseases.

Some of these diseases, including AIDS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and Avian Influenza, have already caused global health and economic crises. With one billion people crossing international borders every year, animals and animal products including meat traveling great distances to reach their final destinations, and disproportionate population growth in countries with the highest poverty rates, new outbreaks could emerge with devastating health, economic, environmental, agricultural, and sociopolitical results.

 

In June 2008, the Institute of Medicine's and National Research Council's Committee on Achieving Sustainable Global Capacity for Surveillance and Response to Emerging Diseases of Zoonotic Origin convened a workshop. This workshop addressed the reasons for the transmission of zoonotic disease and explored the current global capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance. In particular, workshop participants discussed methods of disease surveillance as a way of detecting outbreaks of zoonotic disease in humans, outbreaks of diseases in animals, and how these data can inform the responses to these outbreaks or perhaps prevent outbreaks in the future. The committee will follow up these discussions with a consensus study with its recommendations for sustainable global capacity for zoonotic disease surveillance and response, to be released June 2009."
