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.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
