  One Health Heroes: Ebola Lessons from the Frontlines

  Aug 1, 202632 min

  When most people think of Ebola, they picture hazmat suits and frightening headlines. In this episode of One Health Heroes, we are joined again by Dr. Laura Rothfeldt, a veterinarian and public health leader who was deployed to Sierra Leone during the 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak as part of the CDC's Epidemic Intelligence Service. Dr. Rothfeldt shares powerful firsthand stories from the field, explains how Ebola is transmitted and why many common misconceptions persist, and discusses how One Health collaboration was essential to controlling one of the largest outbreaks in history. The conversation concludes with an update on the current Ebola outbreak, highlighting how advances in vaccines, treatments, surveillance, and global preparedness are changing the response while reminding us that emerging infectious diseases remain a worldwide concern. Key Takeaways Ebola spreads through direct contact, not through the air. The 2014 West Africa outbreak transformed how the world responds to Ebola. One Health collaboration is essential for detecting, containing, and preventing outbreaks. Limited resources, regional conflict, and difficulty tracking people in remote areas are key barriers. New vaccines and treatments offer hope, but rapid detection and community trust remain critical.

  One Health Heroes: New World Screwworm in the United States

  Jul 15, 202626 min

  New World screwworm has officially been detected in the United States, transforming what had been a looming public health concern into an active One Health response. In this episode, Dr. Mandy Sorensen, communications specialist for the American Association of Food Safety and Public Health Veterinarians, explains what makes this parasite unique, why it poses such a serious threat to pets, livestock, wildlife, and occasionally people, and how coordinated surveillance is helping slow its spread. She explains how the fly's life cycle fuels outbreaks, why early recognition is critical, and the role veterinarians, pet owners, producers, and public health officials all play in protecting animal health. The conversation also addresses what this means for travelers, livestock producers, and consumers—and why there's good news when it comes to food safety. Key Takeaways New World screwworm larvae feed on living tissue, not dead tissue. Early veterinary care can save lives and help stop the spread. Every pet owner and veterinarian plays a role in surveillance. Dogs can be infected, but livestock account for most current U.S. cases. The food supply remains safe despite the ongoing outbreak.

  084 Calcinosis Cutis: Why Is My Dog's Skin Hard?

  Jul 10, 202628 min

  Calcinosis cutis is one of the most dramatic skin conditions seen in dogs, but it isn't actually a skin disease, it's a symptom of an underlying problem. In this episode, Dr. Brittany Lancellotti, veterinary dermatology specialist, explains why excess cortisol from Cushing's disease or long-term steroid therapy causes calcium to become trapped within the skin, creating painful mineralized plaques that often become infected. She also discusses why treatment requires patience, why the skin typically looks worse before it gets better, and how owners can work closely with their veterinary team throughout the healing process. Through stories of pets with this disease, you'll hear why even severe cases can improve with the right long-term plan. Our vision is for Your Vet Wants You to Know to be a resource for veterinarians to improve client communication by introducing a discussion about a common topic during the vet visit, then directing the client to a reliable source of engaging, understandable, and accessible information.

  One Health Heroes: Discovery of the Next Emerging Infectious Disease

  Jun 30, 202633 min

  What does it actually take to find the next emerging infectious disease before it becomes a global crisis? One Health expert, Dr. Tracey Goldstein, Director of the One Health Institute at Colorado State University , takes listeners behind the scenes of international field surveillance, from testing sea otters in remote regions of Alaska to discovering the Bombali virus in bats in Sierra Leone and investigating how climate change is reshaping disease emergence. She explains why veterinarians are often the first to recognize new outbreaks, why protecting ecosystems is inseparable from protecting human health, and why collaboration across disciplines is the foundation of pandemic preparedness. It's a fascinating look at the science happening long before most people ever hear about a disease. Key Takeaways: Wildlife surveillance helps identify emerging diseases before widespread spillover into other animals & humans. Human behavior & Climate change work together to increase opportunities for infectious diseases to emerge. Veterinarians are often the first line of defense, recognizing unusual disease patterns in animals before they affect people. Finding a new virus doesn't automatically mean a pandemic & research helps determine the true public health risk. One Health succeeds through collaboration. Scientists, physicians, veterinarians, ecologists, and local communities all play essential roles in preventing future outbreaks. All Veterinarians are One Health Veterinarians.
