I hope it will provide a leading interdisciplinary platform for researchers, experts, and educators to present and discuss the most current innovations, trends, concerns, and policy as well as practical challenges met and solutions implemented in the fields of One-Health. In Government, we have been monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak closely and have tried to keep you informed of the rapidly changing situation as it relates to our province and the country. As part of this process, we have been in close contact with public health officials and have been monitoring guidance from the professionals regarding disease control and prevention. Our vision is ‘A World unified against infectious diseases’. Infectious disease remains one of the world’s greatest threats to human and animal life, the environment, local communities, and economies. We want to enable you to use your local knowledge and relationships to prompt disease detection and early response. I wish that VIOHC 2020 will connect scientists, epidemiologists, veterinarians, medical doctors, nurses, paramedics, community health workers, students, and I.T. specialists to find solutions to global disease surveillance and will offer a platform to test and scale up innovations in human and animal health.

This conference is planned to integrate expertise drawn from a variety of disciplines in the One-Health community, including medicine, veterinary medicine, public health, agricultural and environmental sciences to improve the health of people, animals, and the planet. VIOHC-2020 aims to provide an international venue for One-Health researchers to present their research findings of One- Health accomplishments. There has been a significant rise in the emergence of infectious agents and the likely risk of new pandemics, as exemplified by the emergence and spread of SARS- CoV-2 and COVID-19. Therefore, a clear need for countries to have the competence and capacity to maintain an effective alert and response system to detect and rapidly react to outbreaks of international concern. Responding to pandemic threats requires global collaboration and participation. From this viewpoint, we would like to invite you to VIOHC 2020. Hopefully, you will enjoy our scientific program. The synergism achieved will advance health care for the 21st century. If a proper policy is implemented, it will help protect and save untold millions of lives of our present and future generations. Prof. Dr. Nasim Ahmad (S.I) Vice-Chancellor, UVAS, Lahore Virtual One Health International Conference November 25-26, 2020 Page 2 of 143 T Furuta et al., J Pai n Relief 2016, 5:3(Suppl) http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2167-0846.C1.006 International Conference on Fibromyalgia Pro Vice and-Chancellor Chronic’s Message, UVPainAS, Lahore (June 15-16, 2016 Philadelphia, USA) “One-Health” concept summarized an idea that had been known for more than a century; that human health and animal health are interdependent and bound to the health of the ecosystems in which they exist. This concept is envisioned and implemented by the OIE as a collaborative global approach to understanding risks for human and animal health (including both domestic animals and wildlife) and ecosystem health as a whole. The OIE builds upon the intergovernmental standards which it publishes and the worldwide information on animal health that it collects as well as its network of international experts and programs for strengthening national veterinary services. Coming from the “One Medicine” concept that supports a combination of human medicine and veterinary medicine in response to zoonoses. The novel “One-Health” initiative constitutes a global strategy highlighting the need for an approach that is holistic and transdisciplinary and incorporates multisector expertise in dealing with the health of mankind, animals, and ecosystems. This knowledge is required for the development of novel control strategies inspired by environmental mechanisms leading to desired equilibrium and dynamics in healthy ecosystems. The virtual international One-Health conference (VIOHC 2020) at CVAS, Jhang is expected to provide soon building a framework for more integrated operational initiatives in the country. Prof. Dr. Masood Rabbani (Izaz-i-Fazeelat) Pro Vice-Chancellor, UVAS, Lahore Virtual One Health International Conference November 25-26, 2020 Page 3 of 143 T Furuta et al., J Pai n Relief 2016, 5:3(Suppl) http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2167-0846.C1.006 International Conference on Fibromyalgia and ChronicThe Principa l’sPain Message (June 15-16, 2016 Philadelphia, USA) I am delighted to invite you to the Virtual International One-Health Conference 2020 (VIOHC 2020) organized by the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (CVAS), Jhang, Pakistan. One Health’ or ‘One Medicine’ suggests the unification of the medical and veterinary professions with the establishment of collaborative ventures in clinical care, surveillance, and control of cross-species disease, education, and research into disease pathogenesis, diagnosis, therapy, and vaccination. The concept covers the human population, domestic animals, and wildlife, and the impact that environmental changes (‘environmental health’) such as global warming will have on the inhabitants. We warmly welcome the growing movement of One-Health researcher who strongly supports the idea of a cohesive approach to the human, animal, and environmental health as the best solution to the urgent health threats. I hope the conference will build upon the excellent sessions and discussions. Prof. Dr. Abdul Shakoor The Principal, CVAS, Jhang Virtual One Health International Conference November 25-26, 2020 Page 4 of 143 T Furuta et al., J Pai n Relief 2016, 5:3(Suppl) http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2167-0846.C1.006 International Conference on Fibromyalgia and ChronicChief Organizer’s Pain Message (June 15-16, 2016 Philadelphia, USA) Health issues at the human-animal-environment interface cannot be effectively addressed by one sector alone. Collaboration across all sectors and disciplines responsible for health is required to address zoonotic diseases and other shared health threats at the human-animal-environment interface. One Health is a collaborative, multidisciplinary, and multisectoral approach that can address urgent, ongoing, or potential health threats at the human- animal-environment interface at subnational, national, regional, and global levels. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, object to eliminate poverty and achieve sustainable development. Taking a multisectoral, One Health approach for zoonotic diseases that addresses the interconnectedness of health and its social and economic determinants aligns with the SDG framework. Health is a critical consideration in achieving the 17 goals, and taking a One Health approach in health sector will support making progress in achieving the SDGs. I hope the Virtual International One-Health Conference 2020 (VIOHC 2020) organized by the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (CVAS), Jhang, Pakistan will benefit countries by developing their zoonotic disease strategies and encourages a One Health approach to food safety emergency response.
