One-Health Researchers
One Health in Practice is an international initiative stemming out from the collaborative work of several researchers from several academic institutions as:
- * The Ethology Unit, of the Department of Biology at the University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy
- *The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- *The Department of Ecosystem and Public Health of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada
- *The Chrono-environnement Department, UMR 6249 CNRS University Bourgogne Franche-Comté UsC INRA, France
- *The Department of Biology at The King’s University, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Although we focus on specific themes, Echinococcosis is the one that brought us together in the first place, with this initiative we aim to expand this approach to other health challenges, hoping to engage other researchers into our initiative.

VISION
Develop and apply cutting-edge research in biology, animal and human medicine, ecology and social sciences to face real-world problems.
Promote education, information and capacity building where needed through the engagement of other researchers, volunteers, students and professionals.
ACTIONS
We provide support in terms of information, consulting, direct collaboration and professional development. We commit to:
- Training of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP)
- Making alliances with supportive sponsors.
- Informing general audiences.
- Producing research of the highest standards.

What do members say
We are a growing movement of people around the world who are working to understand the impact of zoonosis and emergent diseases in their local communities.
Wildlife health ecologist interested in the ecology of parasitic transmission in wildlife, has been working on Echinococcus multilocularis eco-epidemiology in North America and Europe since 2009. He is the PI of the Echinococcosis in dogs project at University of Calgary.
Marco is an academic and researcher of the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Calgary. His work evaluates anthropogenic impact on large wild terrestrial mammals throughout the Rocky Mountains and Foothills regions of Canada. He also participates as a reviewer and consultant for some conservation management projects.
Emily is the principal investigator of the Zoonotic Parasite Research Unit at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Saskatchewan, where she teaches and researches veterinary parasitology and public health. Her work primarily focuses on zoonotic parasites.
Emily Jenkins
Sylvia worked for the Food Safety Division of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, where she was a key member for a major livestock surveillance initiative - the Alberta Veterinary Surveillance Network (AVSN). Sylvia now works at the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Calgary, where she leads the surveillance program in Environmental Microbiology.
Sylvia Checkley
Veterinarian interested in wildlife health and disease ecology. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Calgary on a project studying the eco-epidemiology of Echinococcus multilocularis in red foxes and coyotes from western Canada. Her project aims to assess the genetic diversity and the distribution of the European strain of this parasite to understand the origin and spatial distribution of this strain in North America.
Alejandra Santa
He is an associate professor at the King's University of Edmonton, in Alberta. His primary research interest is the role that behaviour plays in ecological processes, in particular, how animals trade-off foraging reward and predation risk. He investigates these topics using the three pronged approach of developing theory, building models to test theory, and grounding these results using statistical analysis of field data.
Darcy Visscher
Emilie obtained a MSc degree at the University of Calgary where she estimated the prevalence of enteric Echinococcus multilocularis in domestic dogs living near city parks in Calgary, Alberta in 2012. She is now a key member in the research team that investigates the true prevalence and risk factors of E. multilocularis in dogs living in the urban centers of Alberta.
