Description

One Health Meets the Exposome: Human, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health brings together the two powerful conceptual frameworks of One Health and the Exposome to comprehensively examine the myriad of biological, environmental, social, and cultural challenges impacting the interrelated health of humans, wildlife, and ecosystems.

One Health as an encompassing concept and collaborative framework recognizes the interconnections among humans, wildlife, and our shared environment with the goal of optimizing health outcomes for all. The Exposome is more specifically oriented to human health and considers cumulative environmental exposures affecting individuals, communities, and populations. This book will provide the broadened and integrative view that considers a more holistic approach needed to confront the complex issues facing us today.

One Health Meets the Exposome: Human, Wildlife, and Ecosystem Health

is a valuable and cutting-edge resource for researchers and practitioners in medicine, public health, animal science, wildlife and field biology, and for any reader looking to better understand the relationships among human health and the environment.

Key features

  • Examines One Health historical focus on disease transfer from wildlife to humans
  • Analyzes the transition of the One Health concept to a current multi- and trans-disciplinary framework with global programs aimed at optimizing human, and wildlife health
  • Defines the Exposome and current approaches to conceptualize environmental impacts on human health
  • Bridges the concepts of One Health and the Exposome by comparing, contrasting, and visualizing synergistic and integrative conceptual frameworks

Review quotes

“...covers the relatively new field of ‘one health,’ integrating animal and human health,… illustrated with several graphics and photographs. [A] solid, highly accessible introduction to the field…. [C]overs various challenges to human and animal health, with the environment and the human-animal interface seen as one system…. [A] unique book in its heavy use of graphics, tables, and other illustrations to present the material,…effective [and] highly useful. [S]impler and more accessible than other basic works on "one health."—©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Eugene N. Anderson, PhD (University of California, Riverside)

About the authors

Mary Ann Ottinger

Mary Ann Ottinger is Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland and the University of Houston, holding a Ph.D. in Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. Her research focuses on neuroendocrine function, comparative biology of aging, and the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Her studies in Japanese quail revealed conserved mechanisms in age-related endocrine decline and highlighted differences in oxidative damage resistance compared to long-lived birds. Her work in non-human primates explored calorie restriction's effects on aging, while studies in transgenic Alzheimer's disease mouse models showed the benefits of selective estrogen receptor modulators. Recent research integrates One Health, the Exposome, and conservation for a comprehensive environmental health perspective. Dr. Ottinger has received the Sigma Xi Research Award, OECD Fellowship, and Gamma Sigma Delta Research Award, and is a Fellow of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, Poultry Science Association, AAAS, and the Explorers Club.
