Presentation by Meezanur Rahman on 'Drivers to promote OH and Tackle AMR' at the One Health Approach workshop on Tuesday, 23 March 2021.

1. Drivers to promote OH and Tackle AMR
Meezanur Rahman, Scientist, WorldFish

2. Introduction
§ Household aquaculture has major role in Bangladesh
aquaculture production
§ Health management in human, aquaculture, livestock,
agriculture based on household activities
§ Increased population, intensification in aquaculture,
livestock and agricultural crop demands OH approach
§ AMR situation caused by multi sectorial hazards

3. Drivers of Disease And Resistance In
Aquaculture
One Health approach is collaborative, multisectoral and transdisciplinary. Disease are common in aquaculture.
Antimicrobials use is one of the possible drivers of resistance. Stakeholders (people) involved play the key role.
Simplified pathways and drivers of disease and
resistance in aquaculture (Hinchliffe et al 2018)
Aquaculture farm
Seed production Feed production and usage
Disease control
(antimicrobial treatment)
Waste discharge/ treatment
Cropping pattern (poly
culture, species combination),
integration (e.g. Livestock)
Environmental parameters
(temperature, salinity, pH,
dissolved oxygen, ammonia)
Environmental pollution (animal
waste, human waste,
urbanization, hospital), pathogens

4. Raising Awareness Through Digital
Communication
§ Huge potential for digital communication methods for
the rapid and widespread communication of AMR
awareness materials to rural aquaculture communities
in Bangladesh Kelly (Thornber et al. 2020)
§ Identify appropriate messages for different
stakeholders for example, hatcheries, farmers, feed
producers, drug shops, extension agents is required

5. Summary
§ People awareness is first for OH and to tackle AMR
§ Digital communication methods can play significant
role to increase awareness
§ Coordination with value chain actors is required to
promote OH and tackle AMR
