One Health Day is November 3

One Health Day is an international campaign to raise awareness that the health of people, animals and the environment are connected. Join us November 3 by following @CDC_NCEZID on Twitter and using #OneHealthDay.

About 75% of all emerging infectious diseases are from animals, and a One Health approach is critical for prevention and control. A One Health approach encourages collaboration across many disciplines -- working locally, nationally, and globally -- to achieve the best health for people, animals, and our environment. Learn more about One Health by watching this video.

NARMS Integrated Report

The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) is committed to improving our understanding of antimicrobial resistance within a One Health framework. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CDC, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently released the 2015 NARMS Integrated Report. The annual report highlights antimicrobial resistance patterns in bacteria isolated from people, meats purchased from grocery stores, and animals. The report provides information about resistance genes for all Salmonella and some Campylobacter isolates using whole genome sequence data.

The report includes NARMS Now, a set of interactive data tools that allow users to explore the dynamics of antimicrobial resistance and the genes involved.

New Resource for Veterinarians on Antimicrobial Resistance

The University of Minnesota, Michigan State University, and CDC launched a website with training modules for veterinarians on antimicrobial resistance.

How Did a Dead Bat Get Into Packaged Salad?

In April 2017, CDC, the Florida Department of Health, and FDA investigated an incident where two people ate packaged salad before noticing it contained the remains of a dead bat. They received treatment to prevent rabies infection out of an abundance of caution, because testing could not determine whether the bat had rabies. Read more about the investigation and how investigators concluded where the bat got into the salad, in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
