The continuum of care as a unifying framework for intergenerational and interspecies health equity
Introduction: Unlocking the full potential of different people and organizations to address existential health threats requires shared goals and frameworks that allow people to see themselves contributing to a common and shared continuum of care. A new narrative to help people implement collective action for collective problems is needed. Methods: This paper is draw from the co-authors experience working from the local to international level on p…
Canada needs a funding institute focused on environments, health, and societal well-being research
Using communication networks to assess the level of sharing of wildlife health data and information among wildlife professionals in Ontario, Canada
There is a need for wildlife professionals to work together to more effectively protect wildlife health; however, collaboration between people of different professions and institutions can be challenging. Our objective was to examine and compare how the conservation and animal health fields share wildlife health data and information in Ontario, Canada. Fifty-five (50%) of 110 invited participants completed an online questionnaire about their wild…
Municipal urban rat management policies and programming in seven cities in the United States of America
While literature indicates that municipal rat management approaches are often unsuccessful, a lack of research comparing strategies makes the breadth of opportunities and challenges associated with different approaches uncertain. Here, we explored the municipal rat management policies and programs in seven cities in the United States of America. Rat policies were attained by collecting rat management-related municipal codes in each city. Informat…
Implications of Zoonoses From Hunting and Use of Wildlife in North American Arctic and Boreal Biomes
The COVID-19 pandemic has re-focused attention on mechanisms that lead to zoonotic disease spillover and spread. Commercial wildlife trade, and associated markets, are recognized mechanisms for zoonotic disease emergence, resulting in a growing global conversation around reducing human disease risks from spillover associated with hunting, trade, and consumption of wild animals. These discussions are especially relevant to people who rely on harve…

Perspectives on wildlife health in national parks
A Delphi exercise involving 17 senior national parks’ biologists in the United States of America and Canada examined how evolving concepts of wildlife health resonated with Parks’ needs. Participants examined wildlife health as a multi-factorial cumulative effect that provides capacity to cope with a changing world. They agreed that this concept of health was consistent with Parks’ goals and provided insight on various aspects of wildlife health …
Using a Harm Reduction Approach in an Environmental Case Study of Fish and Wildlife Health
Pragmatism (or Realism) in Research
Spatial data issues in geographical zoonoses research
Key Messages Spatial data are of increasing use in the investigation of emerging zoonoses. Due to the heterogeneity of required data sources, issues of scale misalignment, data linkage, and access to data are found to be important factors. Geographers can make significant contributions to zoonoses research through their expertise in evaluating, integrating, and modelling spatial data

Using Network Analysis to Explore if Professional Opinions on Japanese Encephalitis Risk Factors in Nepal Reflect a Socio-ecological System Perspective
Perspectives of an underrepresented stakeholder group, backyard flock owners, on poultry health and avian influenza control
This study examines backyard poultry flock owners perspectives about bird health and highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in order to understand how they compare to previous reports of public responses to emerging infectious diseases and how they might influence compliance with government HPAI control activities. We conducted interviews with backyard flock owners in southwestern British Columbia, Canada because it has a high density of commer…
Defining features of the practice of global health research
OBJECTIVES: This paper strives to develop a pragmatic view of the scope of practice and core characteristics of global health research (GHR) by examining the activities of 14 Canadian-funded global health teams that were in the process of implementing research programs. METHODS: Information was collected by a reflective exploration of team proposals and progress reports, a content analysis of the outputs from an all-team meeting and review of the…
