Leptospirosis and One Health Perspective

International Journal of Pure and Applied Zoology, 2016

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection which has started to take place in emergency departments in our country during recent years due to the increasing trend toward keeping pets as well as the climatic changes becoming more and more prominent (Stull et al., 2012, Lau et al., 2010). Especially the squatter settlements, developing in urban areas, have caused it to become an important health issue by providing conditions for transmission through rats (Felzemburgh et al., 2014).

Abstract Leptospirosis is an endemic disease in Malaysia and recently has received increasing attention mainly due to several recent incidents that have resulted in human mortality which have alarmed health professionals in Malaysia. The increasing incidence of leptospirosis in forested regions is associated with the bacteria infecting small wild mammals other than rats. Infection in wildlife could result in the introduction of new serovars to humans and domesticated animals. More research on leptospirosis and the screening of wildlife and humans near wildlife habitats is required to have a better understanding of the involvement of wildlife in the disease. Key words: infectious disease, leptospirosis, zoonotic disease, wildlife

Las dos grandes transformaciones de la sociedad occidental -la transformación cultural y la transformación religiosa- repercuten profundamente en el cristianismo. El análisis de las mismas permite tomar conciencia de los verdaderos desafíos que tendrá que enfrentar el cristianismo del futuro. El centro de la crisis actual es, pues, el fin de una figura histórica de cristianismo. Para construir una nueva figura es preciso regresar a lo que constituyó la originalidad del hecho cristiano. El futuro del cristianismo en América Latina, como parte integrante de esa historia, sólo podrá ser pensado en su especificidad, tomando en consideración esa problemática.

Dairy waste is considered as specific type of waste, being biodegradable in nature and having considerable traditional importance as holy resource, capable of curing no. of diseases including cancer. However, in modern digital world with no time for management of unwanted resources combined with competition in field of productivity, this resource remains unutilized and is often drained to get rid of by the dairy farmers leading to unhealthy scenes, odor pollution & therefore public nuisance. Further, discharge in water bodies can lead to water pollution and eutrophication. It is a established fact since old times that there is no better and cost effective fertilizer than cow dung & urine. This paper highlights that cattle dung and cattle urine, if managed scientifically can be used as biofertilizers / bio-pesticide and various available technologies in use. The paper also highlights that this resource needs to be tapped in a scientific and environmental friendly manner to prevent environmental pollution.
