In this critical update, Dr. Mandy Sorensen, communications specialist with the American Association of Food Safety and Public Health Veterinarians (AAFSPHV) discuss three rapidly evolving One Health concerns: A massive surge of H5N1 avian influenza, now affecting more than 6 million birds in the past month, with potential impacts on food security, wildlife biodiversity, and companion animals. The continued northward movement of New World Screwworm, now just 70 miles from the U.S. border — with both livestock and human cases reported in Mexico. New treatments and prevention may be available and farmers should talk with their veterinarians.  The new CDC “shared decision-making” vaccine policy, which could unintentionally limit access to COVID and other immunizations. The episode also highlights new findings on H5N1 survival in raw milk cheese, recent feline cases linked to raw pet food, and innovative One Health approaches to rescue rehabilitation, including the touching “Paws for Life” prison dog training program.
