One Health: Benefits from Closer Cooperation
The convergence of interests in human and animal health, based on careful observation and scientific study, has a long history which has gained attention from medical historians in the last few years (Woods et al., 2018). Much of this convergence is based on inferences and analogies from empirical observations of specific diseases and comparative anatomy rather than on broader definitions of health (Bresalier et al., Chapter 1, this volume). Among the many proponents of a closer interaction of human and animal health (Zinsstag et al., 2015), two are particularly noteworthy: (i) Rudolf Virchow, the founder of cellular pathology in the late 19th century; and (ii) Calvin Schwabe (Box 2.1), an internationally renowned veterinary epidemiologist and pioneer of veterinary public health in the 20th century. Virchow and Schwabe were among the first to articulate key points that motivated elaboration of the premise of One Health. Discussing bovine tuberculosis (Tschopp and Yahyaoui, Chapter 22, this volume) at a hearing in the Prussian senate, Virchow stated: ‘There is no scientific barrier between veterinary and human medicine, nor should there be. The experiences of one must be used for the development of the other’1 (Bollinger, 1902; Saunders, 2000). Influenced by his experience of working with Dinka pastoralists in Sudan, Schwabe coined the term ‘one medicine’, to make the point that ‘There is no difference of paradigm between human and veterinary medicine. Both sciences share a common body of knowledge in anatomy, physiology, pathology, on the origins of diseases in all species’ (Schwabe, 1984).
Indeed the methods of comparative medicine used in both human and veterinary medicines are closely related and have produced – and continue to produce – enormous mutual benefits. Most therapeutic interventions in human medicine were developed and tested in animals. Under the increasing influence of specialization, however, human and veterinary medicine diverged, and too often fail to communicate, even when they share interests in the same disease. For example, during a recent outbreak of Q-fever in the Netherlands, public health authorities were not informed by veterinary authorities about a wave of abortions in goats (Enserink, 2010). Similarly, outbreaks of Rift Valley fever in humans in Mauritania were identified as yellow fever by mistake. The correct diagnosis was made only after public health services contacted livestock services and learned about the occurrence of abortions in cattle (Digoutte, 1999; Schelling et al., 2007a).
