OHHLEP One Health definition released November 2021 and endorsed by Quadripartite
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and
optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems.
One Health: new definition by One Health High Level Expert Panel
(OHHLEP), 2021
Five benefits of One Health
1. Sharing resources: efficiency and effectiveness savings
2. Controlling diseases in the animal reservoir rather than human victim
3. Early detection and management of emerging threats
4. De-risking the drivers of disease emergence
5. Generating insights and adding value
Early signal detection
• Integrated surveillance: HealthMap, SMS reporting
• Zoonoses Disease Units and Working Groups, One Health platforms
• Joint response teams
Controlling endemic diseases before they get to
people
• Major zoonoses historically controlled in the animal reservoir
(brucellosis, TB, rabies, livestock parasites)
• Salmonella: Denmark reduced up to 95% in eggs, poultry and pork,
by farm and VC intervention saving society US$ 25.5 million p.a.
(Wegnener et al.)
• Rabies: over a period of 6-15 years, dog vaccination and PE more
cost effective than PE alone
• Schistosomiasis: more effective when both cattle and people treated
(Grey et al.). Integrated programs generate $6 per $1 invested
• Brucellosis: cost effective when benefits to all sectors considered
(Roth et al.)

• The RREZODE initiative was launched in 2021 at the One
Planet Summit by the President of France Emmanuel
Macron.
• At this launch, it also received the support of the European
Commission through the voice of its President, Ursula von
der Leyen, and of the FAO through its Director General Qu
Dongyu.

Context of report was covid.One of the few upsides of COVID is that epidemiology needs no introduction and people in the subway are talking about Herd immunity and R nought. But Covid just latest in a long line and very far from the worst.
At least 6: Pandemics since the Great Influenza pandemic of 1918 -- three caused by influenza viruses, HIV/AIDS, SARS, and COVID-19, and the frequency is increasing
>30%: emerging infectious diseases attributed to land use change, agricultural expansion and urbanization
>70%: of emerging diseases (e.g. Ebola, Zika, Nipah encephalitis) caused by microbes found in animals (i.e. are classed as zoonotic pathogens) which ‘spill over’ due to contact among wildlife, livestock, and people
Almost 100%: of pandemics (e.g. influenza, SARS, COVID-19) have been caused by zoonoses
Up to 1.7 million: current estimate of ‘undiscovered’ viruses in mammal and water birds, the hosts most commonly identified as origins of novel zoonoses
Less than 2,000: currently catalogued viral diversity from these hosts (less than 0.1% of the potential zoonotic viral risk has been discovered)
631,000 to 827,000: estimated number of viruses that could have the ability to infect humans
>400: microbes (viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and other microorganisms) have emerged in people during the last five decades,

FAO. 2011. Mapping supply and demand for animal-source foods to 2030, by T.P. Robinson & F. Pozzi.
Animal Production and Health Working Paper. No. 2. Rome.
IMPACT results generally suggested smaller changes in demand compared to FAO. Among other drivers of the results, the observed differences may be related to the underlying assumptions on how future demand will respond to prices and incomes. FAO projections could for example be assuming big shifts to Chicken Meat consumption (e.g., from pork) as incomes grow in Asia. IMPACT makes the same assumption in terms of direction, but with the expected shifts a bit more dampened.
High income countries include much of Europe. In fact, if one looks at individual European nations in many cases there is a DECLINE in demand (Switzerland for beef (-22%) and pork (-14%) for example)

One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems.
It recognizes the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and inter-dependent.
The approach mobilizes multiple sectors, disciplines and communities at varying levels of society to work together to foster well-being and tackle threats to health and ecosystems, while addressing the collective need for clean water, energy and air, safe and nutritious food, taking action on climate changes and contributing to sustainable development.

Annual avg (12 yrs) for 7 outbreaks is $3.2 b
If SARS is once in 12-yrs event, the annual cost is $3.5 b
Moreover, there are other zoonotic diseases that are not included in this calculation. For instance HIV/AIDs which imposes heavy human, social and economic costs. At present, programs to control the disease are spending on the order of $10 billion per year – if we had included this, the total costs would be even more staggering.
Costs of a flu pandemic would range from about 5x the impact of these 8 outbreaks in a mild flu scenario (455 billion) to about 40 x in a severe flu scenario ($3.1 trillion). Most of these costs would be indirect.
