Advancing One Health education:integrative pedagogical approaches and their impacts on interdisciplinary learning

One Health is an integrative approach that emphasizes the interconnectedness of human,animal,and environmental health,advocating for collaborative,multidisciplinary efforts to address health challenges,particularly amid globalization and emerging threats.This paper examines the integration of One Health principles into global health education,highlighting the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative pedagogical approaches.It evaluates various teaching methods,including problem-based learning(PBL),team-based learning(TBL),simulation-based education(SBE),case-based learning(CBL),interdisciplinary workshops and seminars(IWS),and service-learning(SL),analyzing their strengths and weaknesses in fostering interdisciplinary understanding and practical application of One Health concepts.While these methods enhance learning by promoting critical thinking,collaboration,and real-world application,they also face challenges such as resource constraints,variability in group dynamics,and the complexity of assessing long-term learning outcomes.The paper also discusses the role of global partnerships,such as the Global One Health Research Partnership(GOHRP),in advancing One Health education through collaborative research and educational initiatives.Addressing challenges in curriculum integration and interdisciplinary collaboration is crucial for the effective implementation of One Health education,ensuring that future health professionals are equipped to tackle complex global health challenges.

Extended spectrum cephalosporin(ESC)resistant Escherichia coli:trends and seasonality in the Netherlands from 2014 to 2022

Background Antimicrobial resistance(AMR)in livestock and the environment likely contribute to the prevalence of AMR in humans with potential detrimental effects on human health.As such,annual mandatory monitoring of AMR in livestock occurs within the European Union(EU),according to harmonised methods.Extended-spectrum cephalosporins-resistant(ESC-resistant)Escherichia coli,including extended-spectrumβ-lactamases(ESBL),AmpCβ-lactamases(AmpC)and carbapenemase producing E.coli,are considered of particular importance and are therefore included in the monitoring program.Methods Using results from the annual monitoring of ESC-resistant E.coli from 2014-2022,trends in prevalence per animal sector were determined over the complete time period,as well as potential seasonal effects.Results During these nine years,significant changes were observed in the prevalence of ESC-resistant E.coli,in broilers,dairy cattle and veal calves,while no changes in prevalence were seen in slaughter pigs.Furthermore,the prevalence of ESC-resistant E.coli is positively correlated with warmer seasons(summer and autumn)for both dairy cattle and veal calves,while no associations were found for broilers and slaughter pigs.While temperature itself may play a role in the prevalence of ESC-resistant E.coli,other factors affecting the selective landscape,such as antibiotic usage,will also play a role.Conclusion A combined analysis of antimicrobial usage and prevalence of ESC-resistant E.coli through the year,both in livestock and human samples,would be an interesting follow-up of this study.
