- Description: The increasing pressures on the human–animal–plant–environment interface contribute to the development of new and more complex diseases.1 In many cases, infectious disease outbreaks have strong links with environmental changes, such as the loss of biodiversity, the degradation of ecosystems and climate hazards,2caused by anthropogenic activities. There is an urgent need to move from a global health perspective to an integrated ‘One Health’ approach. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has shown that the degradation of the environment is contributing to the increasing health risks faced by society. The emergence of the coronavirus in humans has highlighted the need for more effective and multi-disciplinary coordinated efforts.1,3Furthermore, our collective responsibility is to prevent, predict, detect and respond to global health threats. Our current understanding of the various interactions between humans, animals, plants and the environment must be re-evaluated.

- Description: Hepatitis-B virus (HBV) co-infection among people living with HIV (PLWH) is highly endemic in South Africa. Despite the availability of an effective vaccine for the last four decades, chronic HBV infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among PLWH. Although the incidence of most opportunistic infections has been reduced in individuals with HIV since the implementation of the universal test and treat program in South Africa, HBV co-infection among PLWH is still accounting for high morbidity and mortality...
