Article Synopsis
- One Health is a concept that tries to keep people, animals, plants, and the environment healthy together.
- The study looked at how SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, spreads between white-tailed deer and could affect humans.
- They discovered that working together with different groups is better at stopping the virus than if each group acted alone.
Article Synopsis
- Folate is a vitamin that helps our bodies make DNA, and not having enough can lead to health problems like megaloblastic anemia, which can make a person feel tired and dizzy.
- A 74-year-old man who had a lung transplant was found to have a severe lack of folate, leading to a dangerous drop in blood cells, which made him feel faint.
- After getting some treatments and blood transfusions, he got better and was sent home, but he had a lighter case of the same problem two months later, even though his vitamin levels were normal.
Emerging infectious diseases with zoonotic potential often have complex socioecological dynamics and limited ecological data, requiring integration of epidemiological modeling with surveillance. Although our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 has advanced considerably since its detection in late 2019, the factors influencing its introduction and transmission in wildlife hosts, particularly white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), remain poorly understood. We use a Susceptible-Infected-Recovered-Susceptible epidemiological model to investigate the spillover risk and transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in wild and captive white-tailed deer populations across various simulated scenarios.

Despite general acknowledgment of these complexities, managing wildlife disease tends to be framed as a scientific problem, in which the major challenge is lack of knowledge. The complex and multifactorial process of decision-making is collapsed into a scientific endeavor to reduce uncertainty.

It has an overarching effect influencing patient throughput and the number of cancer treatments that can be performed as it occupies equipment, space, and personnel. There is limited research addressing this issue.
