One Health Alicante con José Luis Ortuño: Hablamos sobre la falsa relación entre el autismo y el consumo de paracetamol y sobre los intentos de Donald Trump de deslegitimar las políticas contra el calentamiento global en la sede de Naciones Unidas

Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz delivered his 2025 State of the University address at the faculty investiture on September 30, 2025.SUMMARY KEYWORDSState of the University, new professors, leadership initiatives, enrollment record, US News rankings, federal policy changes, Jennison fund, budget adjustments, comprehensive campaign, experiential learning, strategic plan, One Health, research innovation, community partnerships, athletics.SPEAKERSSpeaker 1 00:00State of the University. Speaker 1  00:19So good morning again, and congratulations once again. I think they deserve another round of applause to our 2025, newly endowed professors and chairs. Your excellence truly elevates the capacity of our university to drive our work toward achieving our aspirations as a leading global public research university, and thanks to all my Spartan colleagues for joining us today, including several of our Board of Trustees members one year ago, almost to the day at my presidential investiture here at Wharton Center, I shared a Vision for Michigan State University, not just my own, but one shaped by conversations and collaborations with so many people around our campus and around the community and many of you who are here today together, we outlined big, bold goals, making Michigan State University the most inclusive, welcoming and safe environment it can be tackling grand societal challenges head on, and transforming Michigan State University into a truly next generation University. We also launched several leadership initiatives aimed at achieving those goals, and today, I'm excited to share the progress that we've made and a glimpse of what's ahead. Let's start with some great news, and there's so much that we could talk about and celebrate today, but I want to touch on a few things. First, we entered the new academic year, enrolling more undergraduate students than ever before in our 170 year history of Michigan State University, it's clear that students and families place their trust in us to provide an education that is practical, exceptional and accessible. Students come to us from 139 countries, all 50 states, and all 83 counties across the state of Michigan, we remain the top choice for in state students, with over 8200 Michiganders as part of this new class. And that's why I say that we are Michigan's State University and over 600 highly achieving incoming students join the Honors College, 30 of whom represent our inaugural class of the Williams scholars. 02:52Second, some good news from US News and World Report Speaker 1  02:58US News and World Report rankings just placed six of our undergraduate programs among the nation's top 25 two more than last year. Supply Chain Management ranked number one for 15 consecutive years. Service Learning and Education Abroad ranked number one among public universities, learning communities ranked number two nationally, and the list you could go on and on and on, but there's a lot to celebrate with regard to the incredible academic achievements and opportunities provided through our undergraduate and graduate students here at MSU. And I want to offer a huge congratulations to the faculty and staff who make these programs run, you know, on a daily basis, and, more importantly, to shine on a daily basis. So we're grateful for all that you do. However, not all developments this past year have been easy. Everyone here knows that federal policy changes have disrupted our operations and impacted our core mission of teaching, research and outreach. 04:05But Spartans don't back down. Speaker 1  04:09We mobilize teams to respond swiftly, to protect our research, support our people and continue serving the public, a responsibility that we hold and take very seriously as a leading global public research university, as we always have and will continue to do, I've taken our message to Washington DC and invited lawmakers here to see firsthand the value we provide through research, education and outreach. We've also taken action here at home, through the Jennison fund, we're investing $5 million per year for three years to support affected research programs. Just last week, we notified 37 recipients of this funding, and their work is nothing short of inspiring agricultural economist kajil Galati will be able to pivot from her international work in food safety and security toward applications in the United States, including examining lead testing policies on children's health and educational outcomes. The history department's Professor Walter Hawthorne can complete data integration, supporting scholarly and public access to the names and stories of more than 33,000 historically enslaved individuals on the unique MSU based enslaved.org platform. And graduate student Melina Ortez can continue preparing for a research for a career in research, a cancer research. Jennison funding will support 24 graduate students and restore our fellowships, allowing our continued education of the next generation of scholars and leaders. This is what it means to live our mission, to invest in people, knowledge and purpose. I want to thank all those in the offices and on the rapid response teams analyzing each new mandate and recommending ways to mitigate the disruption to our operations and our people. We will stay true to our Spartan mission and our Spartan values. Not all of our challenges stem from external factors, and I acknowledge the anxiety around our internal budget adjustments, I want to salute the careful work our colleges and administrative units have done to help build a secure, sustainable future for MSU. Together, as one team, we've taken steps to ensure our financial health for the long term. And let me be clear, as I said several times this past year, MSU is not in a financial crisis, but we are navigating a complex landscape and making tough, proactive decisions right now to stay strong. Thanks to our community's hard work, we've maintained the lowest tuition increase among Michigan's public universities over the past decade. We've increased University funded financial aid, and we've protected essential programs while aligning resources with strategic initiatives. 07:33And we're not slowing down. Speaker 1  07:35We're moving forward together as one team with a clearer understanding of who we are and who we can become. 07:46So as I promised, let's talk apples. Speaker 1  07:51Yes, it's harvest season, and Michigan is the nation's second largest apple producer. And that matters because it connects directly to our roots and our role in supporting Michigan's economy and agriculture. I look back at our visit to the Martinez farm in Conklin during our inaugural Spartan bus tour last fall, and I'm proud to know that Michigan's 700 have a reliable partner in Michigan State University, and we saw that firsthand on that bus tour, the training in agricultural and management practices that we offer to farmers such as Paulina Martinez and his team provide the knowledge to Ensure Michigan needs 08:39in apple production, Speaker 1  08:42the Spartan bus store was one of the leadership initiatives that I announced last year. In addition to traveling to Central and Western Michigan last October, we've traveled to Detroit in May to visit places our students call ...

Send us a textBats can carry several viruses that can kills humans. Some well understood – rabies, the deadliest virus of all, is transmitted directly from bats to people from bat bites. Other viruses, such as Hendra virus, are a little more mysterious and indirect in how they spread. And researchers are still unsure how viruses such as Ebola, Marburg and the coronavirus that caused Covid-19 get from bats to people.However, a team working in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda may have just gotten a big clue.Bosco Atukwatse, a Ugandan wildlife biologist working with the Kyambura Lion Project, set up solar-powered cameras near the mouth of Python Cave in the Maramagambo Forest in the park. He knew the cave was home to multitudes of Egyptian fruit bats and was hoping for pictures of leopards and spotted hyenas.What he got were dozens of images of animals hunting the bats. Birds, snakes, giant lizards called monitors, a very persistent leopard, monkeys, baboons, and a catlike animal called a genet all regularly hunted in the cave.This behavior was notable on its own. But the bats in this cave are also known to be infected with Marburg virus, a rare but deadly virus that can cause a hemorrhagic fever. Two visitors to the cave had been infected with Marburg, including a Dutch tourist who died in 2008 and a U.S. tourist.The findings don't prove that animals who hunt bats are spreading Marburg, says Dr. Alex Braczkowski, Science Director of the Kyambura Lion Project, who reported the discovery on the open repository site Zenodo. They do, however, provide a starting point for possible further investigations.Listen as Alex and Bosco chat with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about the bats, the animals that hunt them, and what it all might mean.

Send us a textVeterinary care isn't one-size-fits-all. While “spectrum of care” has become a growing conversation in vet med, Dr. Kristin Jankowski, VMD, CCRP encourages us to think of it as contextualized care, care that adapts to the needs of the patient, the family, and the situation at hand.In this episode of Vet Life Reimagined, Dr. Jankowski shares her perspective from years in general practice, academia, and community health. Dr. Jankowski didn't tire of being a general practitioner because she was an active learner and found many ways to make an impact for her patients, clients, and community. She's the founder of One Health Delaware, a program that connects human and animal health providers to serve families more holistically, and she's also a leader in the AAVMC's Spectrum of Care Initiative.We talk about how contextualized care reframes the conversation and the exciting ways One Health and the spectrum of care can work together to improve outcomes for people and animals alike.Resources:Episode on YouTubeDr. Jankowski's publication on One Health Delaware AAVMC's Spectrum of Care Initiative Open Door Veterinary Collective

Send us a textDrug-resistant germs are hidden killers in more than one way. Not only are the microbes invisible to the human eye, in many places, they're invisible because people simply are not looking for them systematically.Doctors often do not know what infections their patients have and treat them based on best guesses, which allows for ineffective treatments and exacerbates drug resistance. Policymakers don't know which infections are most common among populations and cannot make informed decisions about needed treatments or vaccines.This is a major problem across Africa and a new report shows just how complex the problem is.The Mapping AMR and Antimicrobial use Partnership (MAAP), which included the One Health Trust as well as the African Society for Laboratory Medicine; Africa CDC; the East, Central, and Southern Africa Health Community; Innovative Support to Emergencies, Diseases, and Disasters, a nonprofit focused on technology and communication;  the clinical research group IQVIA; and the West African Health Organization, collected data from laboratories from 14 countries in Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, Eswatini, Malawi, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe). “The study revealed significant gaps in bacteriology testing capacities,” the group, whose work was paid for by the UK government's Fleming Fund, wrote in PLoS Medicine.It's the biggest survey yet of testing for antimicrobial resistance – AMR or drug resistance – in Africa.Among the gaps: too little testing overall, a lack of laboratory capacities, and poor coordination and analysis of records. Many records were kept only on paper, which made them almost impossible to access.None of this surprises Dr. Sabiha Essack, South African Research Chair in Antibiotic Resistance and One Health and Professor in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. In an ideal world, she says, a doctor, nurse or other professional should see a patient, test them to see what specific microbe is causing an infection, check to see which drugs will successfully fight that germ, and then treat the patient accordingly.Cheap point-of-care tests should be available everywhere and the results of those tests should be entered into systems that officials can use to make policy decisions, she says. Listen as she tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox other ways to improve our knowledge about the drug-resistant infections that lurk out there. Want to know more?

One Health Alicante, con José Luis Ortuño: Recuerdo al activista Robert Redford, incendios forestales y olas de calor y sus impactos en el envejecimiento

Auf unseren Körper schauen und hören wir sehr viel. Aber wie wird unsere Gesundheit durch Faktoren wie Klimawandel und Umwelt beeinflusst? Vor ein paar Monaten haben wir unseren Podcast für Euch weiterentwickelt. Wir tauchen zwar auch weiterhin tief ein in wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, aber wir steigen dafür nicht mehr in alle Fachgebiete der Wissenschaft ein. Wir konzentrieren und fokussieren uns inhaltlich etwas mehr auf all das, was die Forschung über unsere Gesundheit weiß. Wir gucken uns allerdings trotzdem nicht allein den Menschen an, sondern wir fragen auch: Wie hängt alles mit unserer Umwelt und dem Klima zusammen? Dieser Ansatz des Zusammendenkens wird in der Wissenschaft mit dem Stichwort "One Health" beschrieben. Verschiedene Forschungsbereiche arbeiten daran, Gesundheitsrisiken vorzubeugen, indem die Zusammenhänge zwischen Menschen, Tieren, Pflanzen und Umwelt mit einbezogen werden. Und dieser Forschung widmen wir nun eine Sonderfolge. Dafür spricht Synapsen-Host Beke Schulmann mit Prof. Dr. Fabian Leendertz, Direktor des Helmholtz-Instituts für One Health in Greifswald. Unter anderem geht es um die Frage, wie Zoonosen entstehen können, welchen Einfluss Faktoren wie Klimawandel und menschliche Mobilität auf die Übertragung von Erregern haben, welche Umweltfaktoren in Deutschland in Zukunft eine große Rollen spielen werden und auch um die Frage, wie weit man in den Wäldern von Westafrika gucken kann.

Send us a textThis month we sit down with Richard Marlar, a physician and president of the Navajo-Churro Sheep Association to talk about heritage livestock breeds - specifically the Navajo-Churro - which have been integral to the settlement and development of the US. Richard also discusses Split Upper Eyelid Disorder (SUED), a developmental disorder that affects four-horned sheep such as the Navajo-Churro. Dr. Marlar explains how he and his wife worked with their veterinarian as well as human physicians to develop a hypothesis about the cause of this disease based on similar diseases that affect humans. This collaboration also helped the Marlars devise a prevention plan by improving their animals' nutrition, especially around breeding and during gestation which has eliminated the incidence of SUED in their flock. Richard provides unique insight for producers and veterinarians about collaborating across medical specialties to develop hypotheses and carryout their own mini-research trials to address challenges that they face within their operation and beyond. This episode highlights the importance of a One Health approach to veterinary challenges and the important role that a veterinarian can play in advocating for their clients through collaboration with university connections, extension programs, and human medical experts when novel challenges are identified. Resources discussed in this episode:American Association of Small Ruminant Practitioners - Find a small ruminant veterinarian: https://aasrp.org/Main/Main/About/Find-A-Small-Ruminant-Veterinarian.aspx?hkey=e59ebdd0-6d57-493b-9ae2-e838323b9a38The Livestock Conservancy: https://livestockconservancy.org/Shave 'Em to Save 'Em: https://livestockconservancy.org/get-involved/shave-em-to-save-em/Navajo-Churro Sheep Association: https://www.navajo-churrosheep.com/?doing_wp_cron=1757476384.7682878971099853515625To access Dr. Marlar's article on his experiences with SUED email: rmarlar@salud.unm.edu

Send us a textSalmonellosis is far more than just a risk from undercooked burgers. In this eye-opening conversation, wildlife health experts Dr. Sonia Hernandez and Dr. Kim Perez reveal how everyday environmental exposures may pose significant yet underrecognized transmission hazards for this dangerous bacteria.The researchers unpack their fascinating studies of white ibises adapting to urban environments in Florida and the persistence of Salmonella on shared surfaces like picnic tables and bird feeders. Their findings challenge conventional wisdom about disease transmission, showing how dried bird droppings can harbor infectious bacteria long after they appear harmless. "A lot of times we see these fecal stains and we think, well, they're not wet, they're not fresh, but they don't necessarily have to be in order to still have infectious Salmonella in them," Dr. Hernandez explains.The conversation explores surprising discoveries about immunity patterns in young birds and the concerning ineffectiveness of antimicrobial coatings on bird feeders. The researchers discuss how their work sits at the intersection of wildlife conservation, public health, and veterinary medicine—exemplifying the One Health approach. They raise important questions about wildlife feeding practices, noting that while bird feeders bring joy to many, they may create disease hotspots affecting not just birds but also squirrels, raccoons, household pets, and ultimately humans.For veterinarians and the public alike, this episode offers practical insights into reducing Salmonella risks without sacrificing our connections to wildlife and pets. The key takeaway? Simple habits like handwashing after outdoor activities or pet handling remain our best defense against this widespread pathogen. As Dr. Hernandez notes, "I think when I was little, I was always taught wash your hands before you eat. I think we should bring that back."JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.03.0144AJVR article: https://doi.org/10.2460/ajvr.24.12.0397INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

Quase 180 países participam de negociações globais para um tratado juridicamente vinculante sobre a poluição plástica, em Genebra, na Suíça. No ano passado, em Busan, na Coreia do Sul, países produtores de petróleo emperraram as discussões. O encontro começou na terça-feira (5) e deve durar dez dias. Para o Brasil, um dos principais pontos de discussão e das propostas apresentadas nas negociações é a questão da saúde humana, explica Maria Angélica Ikeda, diretora do Departamento de Meio Ambiente do Ministério das Relações Exteriores e negociadora-chefe da delegação brasileira. “As pesquisas já encontraram microplásticos no corpo humano, no feto, na placenta, no leite materno. Segundo os cientistas, estamos ingerindo muitos microplásticos por várias vias – alimentos, líquidos, etc. O Brasil enfatiza a importância de promover e fortalecer as pesquisas científicas sobre essa inter-relação entre poluição por plásticos e saúde”, diz Ikeda. “Nós sabemos que há muita oposição de algumas outras delegações por várias razões específicas. Estamos abertos ao diálogo e à negociação. Temos, como sempre, como princípio, a flexibilidade, porque queremos ouvir todas as delegações e chegar a um resultado consensual. Mas gostaríamos de preservar o conteúdo relacionado à saúde no tratado”, assinalou a negociadora brasileira. Outro ponto defendido pela delegação brasileira é a transição justa para os trabalhadores da cadeia do ciclo de vida dos plásticos, sobretudo os trabalhadores informais, incluindo os catadores de materiais recicláveis. "Os catadores dependem de valores justos para o material reciclável, para poder garantir sua renda. Eles vendem esse material para os recicladores. Então, é muito importante protegermos esses trabalhadores das flutuações de mercado e prover regulações que realmente assegurem essa fonte de renda”, enfatizou Ikeda. A representante do governo brasileiro também defende a criação de um mecanismo financeiro ambicioso, para que os países em desenvolvimento tenham meios de implementar o acordo. WWF apresenta relatório contundente A organização de conservação WWF corrobora as preocupações com a saúde. Um relatório da WWF de julho de 2025, intitulado Plásticos, Saúde e Um Planeta, destaca que a poluição por partículas plásticas microscópicas representa uma ameaça física e química, devido aos aditivos tóxicos. Substâncias como ftalatos, bisfenóis e PFAS ("químicos eternos") são particularmente preocupantes, associadas a riscos de infertilidade, câncer, doenças respiratórias e cardiovasculares, além de impactos no desenvolvimento cerebral. O relatório defende uma abordagem de “Saúde Única” (One Health), reconhecendo as profundas interconexões entre a saúde humana, animal e ambiental. Entre as reivindicações da WWF estão o banimento e a eliminação progressiva de plásticos de uso único e de químicos perigosos. Atualmente, menos de 6% das 16.000 substâncias químicas usadas em plásticos são reguladas internacionalmente, embora mais de 26% sejam conhecidas por serem perigosas. A ONG pede regras harmonizadas e vinculantes para o design de produtos plásticos, a fim de melhorar a gestão e a reciclagem dos materiais, além de financiamento e transferência de tecnologia para países em desenvolvimento. Assim, como a delegação brasileira, a WWF também solicita a transição justa para os trabalhadores da cadeia do ciclo de vida dos plásticos, incluindo os catadores de materiais recicláveis. “Uma questão de direitos humanos”, explica Michel Santos, gerente de Políticas Públicas do WWF-Brasil. Críticas à posição brasileira Embora o Brasil tenha uma Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos avançada, que prevê o ciclo de vida completo do produto, o país não tem defendido amplamente a redução da produção no tratado, devido à pressão da indústria petroquímica, que não quer ver essa redução no Brasil e no mundo, aponta Santos. Ele ressalta que a indústria insiste que bastam medidas de gestão e reciclagem ("midstream" e "downstream") para resolver o problema, mas a WWF defende que, sem medidas "upstream" (redução da produção), uma solução de fato não será alcançada. Santos lamenta que iniciativas domésticas importantes, como a Estratégia Nacional de Oceanos Sem Plásticos, estejam paralisadas e “desidratadas” por influência dessa indústria. Ele enfatiza que “o capital não pode se sobrepor à saúde das pessoas e à saúde do meio ambiente”. Perspectivas para o tratado Apesar do impasse em Busan, há um otimismo cauteloso em Genebra a respeito de um acordo. Maria Angélica Ikeda compartilha essa visão: “Acredito, pelas conversas com as outras delegações, que existe uma intenção forte dos países de conseguir um acordo em Genebra”. No entanto, ela reconhece que o texto é extenso, aborda muitos temas e as posições dos países são divergentes, o que torna a negociação desafiadora. Michel Santos elogia políticas em relação ao plástico de países como Noruega, Alemanha, México e Guatemala, que defendem um tratado ambicioso. Ele teme que outros, produtores de petróleo como Arábia Saudita, Rússia e Kuwait, possam tentar arrastar as discussões e evitar acordos vinculantes.

Send us a textIt's a common scenario for a cancer patient. They're undergoing treatment and get what's known as a peripherally inserted central catheter or PICC (pronounced “pick”) line to make it more convenient to administer drugs. They are in and out of the hospital or just the clinic frequently to see various providers. The treatment they receive may run down their immune system a little bit. Just having cancer may have damaged their immune system.So then they get an infection.Perhaps it's no big deal. A round of antibiotics may take care of it. However, increasingly, these infections are resistant to antibiotics – something known as antimicrobial resistance or AMR.Then, the patient must wait weeks or even months to resume cancer treatment while the infection is treated. And, all too often, the infection itself may kill the patient. In fact, infections are the second-leading cause of death for cancer patients.Dr. Yehoda M. Martei, Assistant Professor of Medicine (Hematology-Oncology) at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and colleagues have been working to find out just how common these infections are. Among patients hospitalized for treatment, cancer patients were up to twice as likely to get a drug-resistant infection, she and colleagues found. Among outpatients – people getting treatment at clinics or offices but not staying in the hospital – cancer patients had three times the risk of drug-resistant infections.Listen as Dr. Martei tells One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about her findings, what they mean, and what must be done to protect cancer patients and ensure infections don't stop them from getting the treatment they need.

A new international study involving researchers from Durham University has revealed that climate change is accelerating the rate of development and global abundances of antibiotic resistance bacteria in soils. The findings, published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, highlight a new and deeply concerning less seen consequence of global warming to public health. Rising antibiotic resistance in soils The study shows that rising global temperatures are significantly increasing the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and virulence factors in soil microbial communities. These genes can make bacteria less susceptible to the effects of antibiotics, increasing the probability of acquiring antibiotic resistant infections, including from dangerous pathogens. The research, which integrates field data, metagenomic analysis, and laboratory experiments, provides compelling evidence that warmer conditions will favour the survival and evolution of pathogenic and other bacteria that are resistant to therapeutic treatment - bacteria that often originate in the natural environment. Professor David W. Graham of Durham University, co-author of this study, a water engineer and expert in antibiotic resistance, says "the study exemplifies how closely connected human health is with environmental change." This research provides compelling evidence that climate change is more than an environmental crisis, it also is impacting global antibiotic resistance due to warming. This research forms part of a growing body of evidence that environmental factors, including global warming, are playing a crucial role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance. It underscores the importance of a 'One Health' approach that recognises the interconnected nature of human, animal, and environmental health. Professor Graham said: "Most people do not realise that most of the pathogens that cause infectious disease humans actually originate from the environment. "Therefore, increasing resistance in soils will almost certainly translate into increased levels of untreatable infections in human and veterinary practice. This is why One Health solutions are important". The study found that the impact of warming will be more pronounced in colder regions. In the past, colder temperatures normally kill off bacteria, especially human pathogens, but as temperatures increases, such strains will survive longer, which this study shows. As temperatures rise, bacteria also appear to changing on an evolutionary level, with an increased probability of genetic changes and the appearance of 'new' pathogens to which no antibiotic options exist. Professor Graham said: "The relationship between climate and antibiotic resistance was predicted in the 2023 United Nations report: Bracing for Superbugs: Strengthening environmental action in the One Health response to antimicrobial resistance and the new work here provides concrete evidence for that prediction." The research team found that even modest increases in temperature can trigger significant rises in the abundance of ARGs, particularly in bacterial groups such as Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, which are known carriers of resistance and virulence genes. Laboratory experiments with Escherichia coli confirmed that elevated temperatures lead to increased expression of antibiotic resistance genes, including those involved in efflux pumps and stress response proteins, which are key mechanisms in bacterial defence. Moreover, machine learning models used in the study project that, under high-emission climate scenarios, global levels of soil ARGs could rise by up to 23 percent by the end of this century. The researchers warn that climate-driven changes to microbial communities could undermine efforts to control antibiotic resistance and may lead to greater risks of infection from previous antibiotic-susceptable bacteria from soils and, more importantly, an increased probability new pathogen 'jumping' from environmental sources ...

This week, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak chat with Dr. Michael Blackwell from the University of Tennessee, and the Director of AlignCare Health Inc., about the increasing challenges families face in accessing veterinary care and how the One Health model offers a transformative solution.  Dr. Blackwell explains that many of the barriers to care stem from human social and financial realities, not just veterinary logistics. By integrating veterinary services with human healthcare, social work, and community resources, One Health creates a holistic, family-centric approach that supports underserved families, mitigates the risks of zoonotic disease, and reduces long-term public health costs. The episode explores how AlignCare — a One Health initiative led by Dr. Blackwell — has the potential to reshape national veterinary service delivery and ensure no pet or family is left behind.   Learn more about AlignCare Health Inc. Dr. Michael Blackwell recommends using all advances in AI for its transformative potential across sectors, including veterinary healthcare.

Send us a textDr. Roy Madigan joins us to uncover the hidden danger of Chagas disease, a parasitic infection transmitted by "kissing bugs" that's far more prevalent than most veterinarians realize.Contrary to outdated beliefs that Chagas is a "third world disease," this silent killer affects up to 18% of dogs across the southern United States, with millions of cases going undiagnosed. Dr. Madigan shares how his journey began with one fateful case named Max, whose unexplained death led to a 25-year quest to understand this misunderstood condition. What he discovered changes everything we thought we knew about cardiac disease in dogs.The most alarming revelation? Heart rate variability analysis shows that dogs with Chagas disease develop serious autonomic nervous system dysfunction long before showing any symptoms. This explains the devastating phenomenon of sudden death in apparently healthy dogs—a tragedy Dr. Madigan has witnessed countless times. Through sophisticated monitoring techniques, veterinarians can now detect these dangerous irregularities early, potentially saving lives.Perhaps most concerning is the One Health implication. Dogs serve as sentinels for human infection, with Dr. Madigan noting that several dog owners have tested positive for Chagas only after their pets were diagnosed. The disease doesn't discriminate based on neighborhood or housing quality—these bugs readily infiltrate modern homes regardless of socioeconomic factors.For veterinarians, the message is clear: implement thorough cardiac assessments and consider Chagas when arrhythmias are detected. For pet owners, especially those in the southern states or who've adopted dogs from these regions, ask your veterinarian about testing. Your vigilance might save not only your dog's life but potentially your family's health as well. Listen now to understand the heartbeat irregularities that could be your first warning sign of this emerging threat.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.24.12.0773INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures 2025: Diversity and Self-Determination in International Law: Continuing Conversations with Karen KnopWe will come together to celebrate the life and scholarship of our colleague and friend, Professor Karen Knop (1960-2022). Karen, until her untimely passing, was the Cecil A Wright Chair at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Law. A long-time friend of the Lauterpacht Centre, Karen was to have delivered the Centre's 2025 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures.Session III Private and Foreign Relations LawProfessor Anne Peters in conversation with Dr Roxana BanuChair: Professor Campbell McLachlanProfessor Peters's talk, 'Populism, Foreign Relations Law, and global order and justice', will discuss populist foreign relations law, which was Karen Knop's last project, at the university of Helsinki and as a Max Planck fellow. This talk will make the point that ongoing transformations of the concept of law itself, of legal procedures, and of legal substance cut across the ‘levels' of governance. And neither identitarian rhetoric, nor trade wars, nor border-fences will bring back an inter-state, Westphalian (or ‘Eastfalian') order. We are living in conditions of global law (and transnational) law. Populist heads of state both deploy and defy this law (concluding populist treaties or deals such as the German-Turkish refugee agreements; denouncing treaties such as ICSID or the Paris Agreement; using their war powers to escape domestic critique; raising tariffs to please their voter-base, and so on). At the same time, domestic, local and transnational actors (ranging from cities to courts to Indigenous peoples, or philanthro-capitalists) activate all kinds of law to resist populism. Such global lawfare destabilises world order but also has a transformative potential. New legal forms (especially informal agreements), new legal processes (such as public interest litigation before the ICJ) and new legal principles (such as One Health; Rectification/reparation; and the exposure of double standards) are responding to the big challenges for global order and justice: the cultural, the social, and the ecological challenge. Dr Banu's talk, 'Foreign Affairs, Self-Determination and Private International Law', begins with the point that foreign affairs questions are often thought to lie at the very edge of private international law, perhaps in the leftover corners of the historical alignment between private and public international law. Similarly, in part on the assumption that private international law settles conflicts of laws between already established states, there wouldn't appear to be any intuitive connection between nationalist or self-determination movements and the field of private international law.This talk will show that these assumptions are mistaken. By engaging with the historical development of the field from the mid-nineteenth century onwards, the talk will show that private international law has been deeply enmeshed in major geopolitical events generally, and in nationalist and self-determination movements, in particular. This enmeshment is neither accidental, nor exclusively modern. It is the inevitable result of some of private international law's main analytical and conceptual building blocks. Anne Peters is Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg (Germany), and Professor at the universities of Heidelberg, Freie Universität Berlin and Basel (Switzerland). Roxana Banu is Associate Professor and Tutorial Fellow at the Faculty of Law and Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford.

In this conversation, Dr. Huntley and Dr. Dixon discuss the current state of community health, focusing on what is working and what is not in public health. They emphasize the importance of community engagement, resilience among public health professionals, and the challenges posed by recent cuts to public health programs. The discussion highlights the need for data transparency, emergency preparedness, and the integration of One Health principles to address the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.   Resources   ▶️ Join the PHEC Community   ▶️ Visit the PHEC Podcast Show Notes    ▶️ DrCHHuntley, Public Health & Epidemiology Consulting

Send us a textZombie movies may score at the box office and shows about dangerous contagions including “The Last of Us” may be a hit on streaming services, but preparedness for disasters is no winner for American politicians. Every recent U.S. presidential administration has dismantled the pandemic plan put together by the previous one, notes Dr. Asha M. George, Executive Director of the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense. However, the cuts being made by the new Trump administration to the United States biodefense budget are going deeper than ever before. Global efforts to track diseases including Ebola virus and avian influenza have ended. Among the latest to fall under the axe: the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), a federal advisory body to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which had helped shape national infection prevention guidelines meant to keep hospitals safe and contain outbreaks. The loss of the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, has already begun devastating not only global health efforts, but also U.S. national security efforts, multiple experts say. And things were not in a good place to begin with, says George. “The biodefense community is in for the fight of its life to get the funding it needs,” she said in her latest report on biodefense. “It was starving before. It is going to be anorexic soon.” Listen as George explains to One World, One Health host Maggie Fox just what's at risk for the world if the United States doesn't start paying attention to biodefense. 

This week, 124 countries agreed at the World Health Assembly in Geneva on measures aimed at preventing a future pandemic. The agreement very strongly favours a “One Health” approach, appreciating how so many potential pathogens originate in human-animal interactions. Still to agree on the terms of how to share pathogens and information with global science and vaccine researchers, eventually the treaty will need to be signed by at least 60 countries. But can the inequity between countries of the global south and north, and issues of intellectual property, be bridged?A new study on origins of the Nigerian mpox epidemic points strongly to zoonotic crossovers and mobility of wildlife in West Africa. Edyth Parker of Redeemer's University in Nigeria describes their phylogenetic tree.Can the bovine form of H5N1 flu infect pigs, and could domestic pig populations then provide a crucible for further variants to develop? Jürgen Richt of Kansas State University and colleagues have been investigating. We need to keep up vigilance.Lucy van Dorp of University College London, working with a consortium including London's Crick Institute, has been looking at a moment in the past when human activity provided an opportunity for a bacterial human pathogen to change its lifestyle. According to their phylogenetic tree, the bacterium Borrelia recurrentis (which causes louse-borne relapsing fever in humans) adapted and moved from ticks to human body lice around about the same time as humans started using woollen clothing.And Susan Lieberman, VP for International Policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, was in the trenches of the Pandemic Agreement negotiations, and shares some of her hopes for its success.

Send us a textThe scene on the beach was horrific. Thousands of mothers and baby elephant seals lay in the sand, taken out by a deadly virus.Dr. Marcela Uhart and her colleagues were shocked by what they found after the H5N1 avian influenza virus swept through a colony of elephant seals on the coast of Argentina's far south Patagonia region. More than 17,000 of the animals had died, their bodies ravaged by the virus.H5N1 bird flu has swept around the world, destroying poultry flocks and wildlife. Like other influenza viruses, it mutates constantly and swaps genetic material in a process called reassortment. It can now infect not just birds, but livestock such as cattle and sheep as well as mink, pet cats, sea lions, and human beings.It has devastated egg production and threatens dairy operations. The biggest fear is that it will acquire both the ability to spread from human to human and maintain its most deadly qualities. An H5N1 pandemic has the potential to be much, much worse than Covid-19 was.People can't be ready for the virus unless the world keeps an eye on it. That's what Uhart, who is Director of the Latin America Program at the Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center at the University of California, Davis, is trying to do. That's why her team studied the bodies of the dead elephant seals and other animals killed by the virus.“Mammal-to-mammal transmission could be a stepping-stone in the evolutionary pathway for these viruses to become capable of human-to-human transmission,” they wrote in their report, published in the journal Nature.“What we can learn from what happens in wildlife is crucial,” Uhart says. “That is where these viruses evolve.”Listen as Uhart chats with One World, One Health host Maggie Fox about what her team discovered in Patagonia and what it might mean for every animal on the planet, including  humans.And listen to our other podcast episodes looking at H5N1 bird flu and how we should be preparing for the next pandemic.
