eCornell Keynotes: One Health Around the World Webinar Series
In partnership with eCornell, our One Health Around the World webinar series illustrates how the health of wildlife and our own health are inextricably linked.
Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Regions
Episode 3 (01/29/25)
For a long time, Antarctica has been thought of as a “clean” environment, but research has shown that viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens thrive in Antarctica. Some of them have always been there, but others have recently emerged due to human activity. The most recent and dramatic example is the global spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza, or bird flu, which emerged in domestic poultry in the Northern Hemisphere and spread all the way to Antarctica, killing hundreds of thousands of penguins, albatrosses, and seals on its way.

Asia
Episode 2 (03/07/24)
From the river valleys and grasslands of Nepal to the high mountains of Central Asia, from tigers to leopards to vultures to Asiatic wild dogs (or dholes) — and from canine distemper to wildlife poisonings to the infectious diseases impacting wild sheep and goats as well as their domestic cousins (just to name a few current challenges) — there is no shortage of threats to the health of these magnificent species and ecosystems, with some of these very same threats being of importance to agriculture and public health.

North America
Episode 1 (10/12/23)
From avian influenza to SARS-CoV-2 to chronic wasting disease, there is no shortage of current threats to the health of our wildlife species across every biome, with many of these threats affecting agriculture and public health as well.
