🌎 The NC One Health Collaborative is an intellectual exchange group that hosts public lectures to foster conversation around One Health topics. 🗓️ Join Charles Nunn (Duke University), James Moody (Duke University), and the “PIPP” Team on 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟔, for a presentation on Modeling Disease Transmission for Pandemic Prevention in Rural Madagascar at be held at the NC Biotechnology Center from 5-7 p.m. Students at all levels, faculty, staff, practitioners, and the public are invited to join! Learn more about this presentation below. ⬇️ The zoonotic disease pandemic lifecycle starts with contact between humans and animals, moves to local transmission among people within communities, and then involves inter-community transmission that eventually connects into international travel and trade. We will present our recent research that applies network-based approaches to investigate these phases of transmission in Madagascar, where zoonotic and other infectious diseases continue to have a major impact on the health and livelihoods of rural farmers. We will then consider more generally how interdisciplinary network science approaches inform pandemic prevention and our ongoing efforts to develop this approach in the NC Triangle through our Predictive Intelligence for Pandemic Prevention (PIPP) team.

Today we remember all the lives affected by the tragedy that was 9-11-2001. 🤍🕊️

🍅 Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) is an unrelenting plant disease making it one of the most economically devastating plant viruses in the world. Spread by insects called thrips, this virus not only infects tomatoes but also peppers, tobacco, potatoes, eggplants, squashes, lettuce, onions, spinach and herbs like peppermint. To help limit the devastating impacts of TSWV, GOHA Infectious Disease Lead, Qingshan Wei and the WolfSens (Wearable Olfactory Sensing) research team have built a wearable electronic patch that provides continuous, real-time detection of a plant’s health. These advanced sensors can alert growers to the presence of disease by detecting VOCs, volatile organic compounds naturally emitted by plants. “The earlier growers can identify plant diseases or fungal infections, the better able they will be to limit the spread of the disease and preserve their crop.” - Qingshan Wei Check out the article below to learn more about these smart sensors and how the N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative strives to provide new and useful solutions for agriculture👇 https://lnkd.in/e4uHvDNz

✍️ Applications due in ONE WEEK! 📚 As a Global One Health Scholar, undergraduates will participate in interactive seminars, experiential learning, and leadership development centered on the #OneHealth approach. This program is open to undergraduates enrolled in the Global One Health Minor. Interested students may enroll in the minor at any point up through the application deadline. ✈️ Scholars will also have the opportunity to attend a transformative course in the Czech Republic where they will address global challenges like the health impacts of climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and antimicrobial resistance. 🗓️ Sunday, September 15, 11:59pm Learn more & apply 👇 https://loom.ly/ePvajk0

🦠 Since the COVID-19 pandemic, infectious disease researchers have increasingly sought to understand the role racial and sociodemographic factors play in disease spread to help identify who might be more vulnerable to infection. 🔬 GOHA Affiliate Member Cristina Lanzas along with Ph.D. student Umang Joshi used artificial intelligence to determine a link between sociodemographic factors and the diagnosis of health care-associated infections across four hospitals in a major U.S. city. "Working to find new ways to identify who is at risk and bringing that understanding to the table is always useful for finding new methods of disease control." - Cristina Lanzas Learn more 👇

🌎 The NC One Health Collaborative is an intellectual exchange group that hosts public lectures to foster conversation around One Health topics. 🗓️ Join us next 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟵, for a panel presentation on One Health Aspects of White-tailed Deer at be held at the NC Biotechnology Center from 5-7 p.m. Students at all levels, faculty, staff, practitioners, and the public are invited to join! Below are details about the three talks you can expect to hear during this public lecture. ⬇️ 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲: 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝗿, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 🗣️ Nathan Hostetter, NC State University 💬 White-tailed deer exploit multiple edges, including transitional zones in landscapes, human development boundaries, and the edges of daylight hours (dawn/dusk). We will discuss how these behaviors and resource selection link to deer population ecology in North Carolina. 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: 𝗡𝗖 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 🗣️ April Pope, NC Wildlife Resources Commission 💬 This talk will discuss deer management in NC and how it intersects with regulations and disease issues. 𝗧𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲-𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀 🗣️ Liz Rutledge, NC Wildlife Federation 💬 White-tailed deer are plentiful in North Carolina, thus creating numerous opportunities for deer-human interactions. With a long tradition of harvesting white-tailed deer for meat and management purposes, venison can be used as a source of protein for those in need. However, high numbers of white-tailed deer also contribute to other issues including collisions with vehicles on roadways and habitat loss. Attendees will learn about common ways humans interact with this species while discussing areas that need mitigation to ensure humans and white-tailed deer can coexist on the landscape.

📢 To advance research and professional development opportunities for graduate students working on global challenges through a One Health approach, we are pleased to offer the Global One Health Academy Graduate Travel Award for Spring 2025. ✈️ This travel award will support 3-5 graduate students for international or domestic travel that advances their global One Health-related research. Funding will support travel occurring January through June 2025. 🗓️ Submit your applications by 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰, 𝟭𝟭:𝟱𝟵 𝗽.𝗺. 𝗘𝗧! Learn more and apply 👇 https://lnkd.in/g2eu8DNP
