“…As described previously in a series of editorials in the Journal of Environmental Engineering, engineers can learn from and learn with nurses (i.e., Oerther and Watson 2020;Oerther and Shattell 2020;Oerther and McCormack 2021). For example, the importance of governments employing clear, concise, and consistent risk communication is one lesson we (engineers and nurses) can learn from COVID-19 (Oerther and Watson 2020).…”

“…At least one aspect of the difficulty in addressing risk communication arises from a lack of us (engineers) often failing to consider person-centeredness in typical public health approaches (Oerther and McCormack 2021). While nursing practice often recognizes that individuals (i.e., patients) are autonomous, have an unalienable right to self-determination, and make decisions based in the values each individual holds dear, the public health approaches typically employed by engineering practice often emphasize aggregate measures of people (i.e., the public).…”

Engineers and nurses share a history of productive collaboration at the bedside designing and deploying technology to monitor individual patients as well as developing systems to support patient health and promote wellness (Zhou et al. 2021). Similarly, engineers and nurses share a history of productive collaboration beyond the bedside-in the public community-promoting health and wellness including access to fresh air, clean drinking water, adequate sanitation, effective hygiene, safe and nutritious food, affordable housing, reliable transportation, and abundant energy supplies (Oerther 2019;Oerther et al. 2019. As engineers and nurses continue to work together and learn from each other-even while the pandemic known as COVID-19 continues to evolve-we need to explore ways to be more resilient. This includes learning to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions while working together to achieve sustainable development, local to global, for individuals (i.e., patients) and the public (i.e., families, populations, communities, nations, and the world). One approach that engineers should adapt from nursing is health diplomacy, including (1) promoting health as a universal human right, (2) coordinating health monitoring and response across national borders, and (3) supporting diverse, equitable, and inclusive approaches to poverty eradication

Climate adaptation impacting parasitic infection

The steady and ongoing change in climatic patterns across the globe is triggering a cascade of climate-adaptive phenomena, both genetic and behavioral in parasites, and influencing the host–pathogen–transmission triangle. Parasite and vector traits are now heavily influenced due to increasing temperature that almost dissolved geospatial boundaries and impacted the basic reproductive number of parasites. As consequence, continents unknown to some parasites are experiencing altered distribution and abundance of new and emerging parasites that are developing into a newer epidemiological model. These are posing a burden to healthcare and higher disease prevalence. This calls for multidisciplinary actions focusing on One Health to improve and innovate in areas of detection, reporting, and medical countermeasures to combat the growing threat of parasite emergence owing to climate adaptations for better public health outcomes.
