One Health
A university is suggesting that the local government take a One Health approach to solving complex local problems, such as an increase in tick-borne diseases. A One Health approach uses the idea that complex problems often involve the health of people, animals, and the environment. Therefore, solutions to One Health problems must be designed to protect the health of people, animals, and the environment.
1. Use the information in the text box above to explain what must be involved in a complex problem for it to be considered a One Health problem. You will need to record your response in Digital Lab Notebook (Part 6).

One Health Solutions
To support adoption of a One Health approach, the university officials want to create a series of One Health digital slides to share with community members. Your team has been hired to create the first slide for this presentation. They want you to use the increase in tick-borne diseases as an example of a One Health problem. The slide you produce should answer the question, “Why is the increase in tick-borne diseases a One Health problem?”
Community members often get most of their information from this first slide – they tend to lose interest once in-depth discussion of the issue begins. Therefore, that first slide needs to give information in a way that people will remember. Using examples and pictures will help people understand and remember what the One Health approach involves.
2. Use the information in the second text box and what you learned about ticks and tick-borne diseases to develop your digital slide.
Your teacher may ask you to present your digital slide!
The Online Resources and template slides in Part 6 of your Digital Lab Notebook may help you organize your digital slide.
Extension Activity
