PREZODE

July 6 is #International #WorldZoonosesDay World Zoonoses Day commemorates a historic Health Day: on 6 July 1885, French biologist Louis Pasteur successfully administered the first vaccine against rabies, a zoonotic disease. With global interconnections, any zoonotic outbreak can turn into a local epidemic and subsequently into a pandemic. Preventing zoonotic disease emergence by addressing the drivers of zoonotic pathogen spillover is at the heart of the #PREZODE mission. zeev noga Thierry Lefrançois Benjamin Roche Manon Lounnas Elsa Leger PAULA CACERES Marisa Peyre IPBES World Health Organization

Climate change is helping the H5N1 bird flu virus spread and evolve 🦠The spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 among animals is unprecedented — with the United Nations calling it “a global zoonotic animal pandemic.” H5N1 is a clear indication that disease monitoring and response efforts are an essential part of any climate change adaptation and mitigation strategy. 🌏“Simply put, the spread of influenza viruses around the globe is dictated by their ability to survive long enough in a place to be able to transmit elsewhere — and climate change is, in some cases, making this survival more likely. The recent cases of poultry-to-human and cattle-to-human transmissions underscore the threats posed by these viruses and the importance of understanding how climate change is affecting their spread.” 👉🏽 As a follow-up to our webinar last month, read the analysis from Nitish Boodhoo and Shayan Sharif from University of Guelph, a member of the PREZODE Community. It is crucial to keep monitoring & preventing to reduce pandemic risks. The Conversation France The Conversation US https://lnkd.in/eN_Zx4GX #ClimateChange #OneHealth #H5N1 #zoonosis

HOW CAN WE ASSESS THE RETURN ON ONE HEALTH INVESTMENT? 👉🏼 Join the Webinar on the status and implementation of One Health governance structures and approaches in Eastern and Southern Africa. Focus on One Health governance in Eastern and Southern Africa   🗓️ June 28 June 2024 🕰️ 13:00 - 14:00 (CEST),   ✨ Governance structures determine if policymaking is siloed or uses a joined-up One Health approach. Capacitating One Health in Eastern and Southern Africa ( COHESA) is expanding the use of One Health approaches in 12 countries focusing on governance, research and education, knowledge sharing and delivery. Implemented by national partners and supported by International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and  CIRAD, baseline assessments have been conducted in each country to assess their current One Health status. This webinar is hosted by the Quadripartite-Powered Community of Practice (CoP) for the Return on Investment for One Health and One Health Investment Planning. World Health Organization FAO World Organisation for Animal Health UNEP-WCMC. 🗣️The panel brings together: Chadia Wannous, World Organisation for Animal Health, Knight-Jones Theodore, Margaret Karembu, Bibiana Iraki, Shauna Richards. #OneHealth #Africa Marisa Peyre zeev noga Emmanuelle Soubeyran Maria Van Kerkhove Prisca Mugabe Magda Robalo 👇🏽Register👇🏽

⚙️ PREZODE to contribute to the WHO’s main priorities   🌈 The World Health Assembly agreed on the 14th General Programme of Work of the World Health Organization. The programme sets a high-level road map for global health and will guide WHO’s for the 4 years 2025-2028. It aims to reinvigorate actions needed to get the health-related #SustainableDevelopmentGoals on track. The programme defines 6 priorities, 👉🏽 1.    Respond to the escalating threat to health posed by climate change. 👉🏽 2.    Address health determinants and root causes of ill health in key policies across sectors. 👉🏽 3.    Advance primary health care and essential health system capacities for universal health coverage. 👉🏽 4.    Improve health service coverage and financial protection to address inequity and gender inequalities. 👉🏽 5.    Prevent, mitigate, and prepare for health risks from all hazards. 👉🏽 6.    Rapidly detect and sustain the response to health emergencies.   ⚡️✨🌍 🦇 Priorities n° 1, 5 and 6 are directly related to PREZODE objectives. The Initiative confirms its willingness to keep contributing to these main public health goals as a partner to the World Health Organization. zeev noga Benoit MIRIBEL WHO-Sylvie Briand Maria Van Kerkhove Marisa Peyre Thierry Lefrançois Aitor Nogales González Magda Robalo Debnath Nitish Manuelle Miller Casimiro Vizzini Neil Vora, MD Lucy Keatts Prisca Mugabe Wim van der Poel Christophe Cordevant
