Pandemics of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow: Are We Always Forgetting a Piece of the Puzzle?
June 4, 2021 - June 4, 2021
In this webinar, we reflect on the dynamics of pandemics and on the changes that have occurred in the ever-fluctuating balance between humans, pathogens and the world that surrounds us. This raises the question of if we have undervalued the importance of prediction and prevention measures, as well as the relevance of a One Health approach to problems that affect humans, animals and the environment. With several examples of ongoing and recently finished projects around the world, this webinar will address how prediction and prevention are the necessary but predominantly “missing” pieces of this complex puzzle, as well as integral elements of the One Health understanding that a more effective management of future threats demands.

Salmonella Syst-OMICS: Applying the One Health approach for improved food safety
March 26, 2021 - March 26, 2021
Salmonella enterica is a bacterial zoonotic pathogen of global importance that cause approximately 80 million causes of foodborne illness each year. Transmission dynamics of Salmonella from livestock to humans, from livestock to the environment and from the environment to humans are complex and a systematic approach must be applied in order to reduce the burden of human salmonellosis. A systematic approach to controlling salmonella in humans, animals and the environment has been developed used genomic-based approaches. This Syst-OMICS approach will be discussed with examples of how it is being applied to reduce the burden and duration of foodborne Salmonellosis. Watch Webinar Here
