xA priority call was initiated in the emergency triaging area when the paramedics brought in a 65-years-old lady who was saturating at 65% on room air. She was then initiated on full flow oxygen at 15 litres non breathing mask, which then elevated her saturations to about 92-95%. Upon stabilizing the patient, history revealed that for the past 7 days, the patient has been experiencing viral prodrome. Her symptoms were primarily fever, chest pain, cough with clear expectoration, and intermittent shortness of breath on exertion.

xSearching for animals susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection is one of the essential strategies to trace the origin of SARS-CoV-2 (Shi et al., 2020). It is also important to determine whether SARS-CoV-2-contaminated meat is from a SARS-CoV-2-infected animal or not. The classic method to determine the status of SARS-CoV-2 replication in tissues or cells is through culturing these samples in a BSL-3 facility, but this task is very labor- and time-consuming, as well as unsafe for researchers/technicians.

The One Health concept recognizes that the health of people is closely linked to the health of animals and the environment. The One Health approach encourages the collaborative efforts of the human health, veterinary health, and environmental health communities working locally, nationally, and globally, to achieve optimal health for people, animals, and our environment. The One Health concept has become more important in recent years because many factors such as population growth, globalization of commerce, finance, production, and services, environmental changes such as climate change and deforestation, ever-increasing movement of people, animals, plants, food, and feed have altered the interactions among humans, animals, and the environment. These changes have caused the emergence and re-emergence of many diseases.

The World Health Organization (WHO), the Food Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), and the European Union all support the adoption of the One Health approach to respond to emerging infectious diseases and outbreaks. Without a One Health approach to understanding all the inter-related factors affecting transmission and spread of emerging infectious diseases, prevention, management and elimination will remain beyond our reach.

Since its inception in 1994, ISID's Program on Monitoring Emerging Infectious Diseases (ProMED) has advocated the One Health concept by covering emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and toxic exposures of interest to the plant, animal, and human health sectors.

The ”One Health 2017” Virtual Special Issue will include content published in the Journal aligned to the One Health concept.

xA meta-analysis of 7208 African children with severe malaria identified concomitant bacteraemia in 6.4%. Children with co-infection in these studies had a far worse prognosis: 24.1% dying compared with 10.2% of those with severe malaria alone (Church and Maitland, 2014). However, it is almost impossible to exclude co-infection in the resource-limited settings in which these children are usually managed (Evans et al., 2004). It is therefore recommended that all children presenting with severe malaria in areas of intermediate and high transmission receive broad-spectrum antibiotics in addition to antimalarial therapy (World Health Organization, 2014).

xFor clinical microbiologists and infectious diseases physicians, the term “anaerobic bacteria” is a broad denomination including species with the commonality of their non-tolerance to oxygen. Although there have been recent substantial research efforts in cultivating intestinal anaerobes using various approaches (Zou et al., 2019), most are not routinely culturable in clinical laboratories and remain poorly described. In this regard, the development of extensive culture-based methods, also referred to as “culturomics” (Lagier et al., 2016), and culture-independent next-generation sequencing (NGS) and metagenomics has significantly contributed to a better understanding of anaerobic bacteria (Li et al., 2014).

xThe extension of the declaration of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the World Health Organization (WHO) on April 30, 2020, underscores its continued pandemic spread beyond the initial epicenters. The transmission dynamics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, including the high transmission rate (an estimated R₀ of between 2 and 3.5), large numbers of asymptomatic transmitters, and uncertainty about post-infection immunity, mean that the battle against COVID-19 will not be won until every country in the world can mitigate and ultimately control it (Inglesby, 2020; Kirkcaldy et al., 2020; Miller et al., 2020; Salje et al., 2020; Editorial, 2020).

xThe first cases of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) were reported in late December 2019 in the city of Wuhan, Hubei province in the People’s Republic of China (Morawska and Milton, 2020). Phylogenetic analysis of whole genome sequence data also showed that 2019-nCoV falls within the genus Betacoronavirus, which includes the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and several bat-derived SARS-like coronaviruses (Chen et al., 2020, Coronaviridae Study Group of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, 2020, Udugama et al., 2020, Xu et al., 2020).
