BSAVA releases One Health collection
New collection considers symbiotic relationship between animal, human and environmental health.

New collection free-to-access until January 2023.

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has released its new collection on One Health, an area of veterinary, human and environmental health that considers their interconnected relationship.

Comprised of resources such as Companion articles, Congress podcasts and chapters from BSAVA Manuals, the collection is accessible via the BSAVA Library.

Krista Arnold, honorary secretary of BSAVA, commented: “The complicated relationship between human and animal health has been the subject of scientific investigation since the 19th century.

“Important discoveries and the recognition of disease connections have helped to develop strategies for disease prevention in humans and animals alike.

“This collection in the BSAVA Library will contribute to further understanding and knowledge of this important topic.”

With One Health quickly moving to the foreground of veterinary medicine and research, the new collection considers antimicrobial resistance, sustainability, rabies, linking human-animal abuse and passive smoking, among other relevant topics.

Accessible via the BSAVA Library, the collection is free to view until the end of December 2022, after which it will be £16.25 for BSAVA members and £25 for non-members.

UK's BSE risk status downgraded

The WOAH has downgraded the UK's international risk status for BSE to 'negligible'.

Defra says that the UK's improved risk status recognises the reputation for having the highest standards for biosecurity. It adds that it demonstrates decades of rigorous animal control.

Outbreaks of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, have previously resulted in bans on Britain's beef exports.

The UK's new status could lead to expanded trade and better confidence in British beef.

Christine Middlemiss, the UK's chief veterinary officer, said: "WOAH's recognition of the UK as negligible risk for BSE is a significant milestone and is a testament to the UK's strong biosecurity measures and the hard work and vigilance of farmers and livestock keepers across the country who have all played their part in managing the spread of this disease.
