Abstract
Given the enormous global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Canada, and manifold other zoonotic pathogen activity, there is a pressing need for a deeper understanding of the human-animal-environment interface and the intersecting biological, ecological, and societal factors contributing to the emergence, spread, and impact of zoonotic diseases. We aim to apply a One Health approach to pressing issues related to emerging zoonoses, and propose a functional framework of interconnected but distinct groups of recommendations around strategy and governance, technical leadership (operations), equity, education and research for a One Health approach and Action Plan for Canada. Change is desperately needed, beginning by reorienting our approach to health and recalibrating our perspectives to restore balance with the natural world in a rapid and sustainable fashion. In Canada, a major paradigm shift in how we think about health is required. All of society must recognize the intrinsic value of all living species and the importance of the health of humans, other animals, and ecosystems to health for all.

Detection of Viable Mycobacterium bovis in Lungs and Livers Sold in Butchers' Shops in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Foodborne Pathog Dis 2018; 15:758-762.

Abstract
Although Mycobacterium bovis is the major etiological agent of tuberculosis in bovines, it can infect other mammalians. Previously reported cases of tuberculosis caused by M. bovis in cats from the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA) led to the conclusion that the main source of infection for these felines was the ingestion of raw bovine lungs. Thus, for this study, we collected samples of bovine viscera from butchers' shops of the Greater Buenos Aires (GBA) and the CABA to assess presence and viability of these mycobacteria in bovine lungs (including the lymph nodes) and livers. We analyzed 216 different samples and obtained 5 isolates of M. bovis (4 from lungs and 1 from liver) by culture analysis. We also confirmed the presence of different isolates by polymerase chain reaction, spoligotyping, and MIRU-VNTR assays. The results obtained in this work emphasizes the need of social education for food hygiene, and to change the habit of feeding pets with raw viscera, which carries the risk of epizootic and zoonotic transmission. Moreover, control and eradication programs of bovine tuberculosis should be strengthened and improved.

Abstract
Mycobacterioses can produce nonspecific clinical signs in dogs and cats that make diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, the full characterization of mycobacterial agents is not always possible or practical. We characterized mycobacteria detected through cytology in 12 dogs and 7 cats with generalized clinical signs from the province of Buenos Aires in Argentina. In dogs, molecular testing confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) in 8 cases and M. fortuitum in 1 case. All dogs were Miniature Schnauzers, suggesting that this breed may be more susceptible to M. avium than other dog breeds. The cat isolates were 2 M. bovis, 1 M. fortuitum, and 1 MAH. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable-number tandem repeat patterns suggested possible links with cattle, swine, and humans studied previously in Argentina. The results show that pets may act as susceptible hosts with the potential risk of transmitting the infection to humans and other animals.
