This week's digest includes an OHT-co-authored article showing the factors influencing One Health collaborations for preventing zoonotic diseases in India. OHT researchers and colleagues conducted a mixed qualitative study demonstrating that current One Health initiatives for zoonotic disease prevention and control in India are largely sectorally driven and dominated by human health and animal health institutions. A network analysis revealed that national One Health efforts are relatively self-contained within departments or sectors with the majority of actors having previously worked together. Key informant interviews suggested that institutional barriers to operationalizing a One Health approach to zoonotic disease prevention could be circumvented by responsible actors with high social capital who could leverage their networks to drive cross-sectoral collaborations effectively.

Anyone who knew Dr Tom O’Brien would agree that every word of this obituary is true. He was full of life and deeply interested in finding solutions to the problem of untreatable infections. All the attention that this problem gets today is in large part because of his pioneering work. One Health Trust
