1 My Career Pathway as a Public Health Veterinarian at CDC Stephanie R. Ostrowski, DVM, MPVM, ACVPM CAPT (Retired, 2010) USPHS Food Safety Resident I, CAHFS UC Davis
2 I started out as a child (Bill Cosby) How old were you when you knew you wanted to be a veterinarian? 5 acres; rural southern Maryland Dogs, cats, horses, goats Rural, non-farm Worked for local small animal vet high school Role model was our large animal practitioner Calm and knowledgeable
3 Black Beauty, James Herriot and Vet School DVM 1980 University of Georgia st experience with cattle USDA Brucellosis eradication Herd health, Intro to epi, Large Animal Medicine /Surgery Atlanta Humane Society (1 st job)
4 Rural Practice, Here I come! 1981/82 Food Animal Internship Caldwell, Idaho (WOI) 1982 (~6 mos) Ranch practice Elko, Nevada Small Animal Practice Atlanta, GA area Herd Health Residency UC Davis
5 After Internship, Residency + MPVM CDC? (Hmmm this is not rural practice, is it?) Practice opportunities limited Wanted to solidify epi skills Applied to CDC s Epidemic Intelligence Service got accepted (Yikes!) EIS matching program EIS spring conference + interviews Not quite what I was expecting, but.
6 EIS Officer at NCEH (National Center for Environmental Health), CDC Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects (EHHE) DVM/ EIS Alum studying animals as sentinel species at Superfund sites. OH NO! My mentor left for another CDC job! Lead poisoning became the focus Community/ childhood lead screening - Alaska, Hawaii, Tennessee Occupational Health / Community exposures - With NIOSH in Jamaica
7 Getting back to veterinary practice Worked hrs/ week at a small animal emergency clinic while in EIS But I really missed herd health/ food animal practice left CDC for Dairy Practice Texas Father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in Florida; left TX practice after 6 months to help / be there for him. No temp license in FL! 1990 FDA CVM in Rockville, MD 6 months as target animal toxicity reviewer for use of bovine somatotrophin in dairy cows
8 Returned to Atlanta; late 1990 Temp/ Part time Small Animal work Re-hired by Emergency Clinic ~ 18 mo April 1991 CDC EIS Conf/ job fair -- Hired! : ATSDR -- Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry; Div. of Health Assessment and Consultation Public Health Assessments Superfund Sites -- One Health Great boss, great colleagues, real issues of importance to communities across U.S.
9 Division of Quarantine, NCID Staff Veterinary Epidemiologist 42 CFR Part 71. Foreign Quarantine Immediate aftermath of Ebola Reston Non-human primate import program Approx. 90% of importers could not meet import quarantine biosafety standards. Inspections: quarantine facilities and shipments Miscellaneous vector species Imported Dogs and cats rabies vaccination Egyptian fruit bats revised live bat permit requirements (science, conservation only) Exotic pets: rodents monkeypox, hantaviruses

Science :443
11 Monkeypox Outbreak, 2003 Weekly June 13, 2003 / 52(23); Multistate Outbreak of Monkeypox --- Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, 2003 CDC has received reports of patients with a febrile rash illness who had close contact with pet prairie dogs and other animals. The Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, Wisconsin, identified a virus morphologically consistent with a poxvirus by electron microscopy of skin lesion tissue from a patient, lymph node tissue from the patient's pet prairie dog, and isolates of virus from culture of these tissues. Additional laboratory testing at CDC indicated that the causative agent is a monkeypox virus, a member of the orthopoxvirus group. This report summarizes initial descriptive epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory data, interim infectioncontrol guidance, and new animal import regulations.
12 Emerging and Re-emerging Zoonoses, or relatively rare events? Cryptosporidiosis West Nile Virus Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome Lyme Borreliosis Leptospirosis Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Reston virus Lassa fever Recent outbreaks Rabies / Angola and Indonesia E.coli Marburg O157 / Uganda Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever/ Mexico Nv-CJD Salmonella / USA Tularemia / USA, Kosovo Yellow fever / Ivory Coast Brucellosis / Mongolia Multidrug resistant Salmonella E.coli non-o157 Brucellosis West Nile E. coli 0157 / Canada Hantavirus / US BSE-vCJD/ UK Yellow Nipah fever virus / Malaysia Avian Influenza / Hong Kong Ebola West Nile / USA, Canada Ebola / Gabon, Congo BSE /Canada Monkeypox / DRC/ US SARS / Global Avian Influenza H5N1 Rift valley Fever Monkeypox Equine morbillivirus Hendra virus E.coli O157 NV-CJD Influenza A(H5N1) Reston Virus Nipah Virus Ross River virus
13 Trying to advocate for a One Health perspective before One Health was cool Miami Port of Entry Inventory Totals At least 3 federal agencies have jurisdiction.

23 Deployed with USPHS to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, Fall 2005
24
25 Following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, we saw a lot of.. Blaming the victims. Much bad press, unfair assumptions, and misconceptions regarding: Owners, Animals, State Animal Health Authorities Discrediting of previously successful evacuation strategies and experiences Louisiana State Pet Evacuation Plans Good record of successful evacuation sheltering for owned pets in previous years
26 Response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, 2005
27 Pet Owner Behavior in Disasters Studies indicate that pet-owning households are significantly less likely to evacuate during mandatory orders than households without pets (AJE : ); The more pets, the less likely household will evacuate. Owners will frequently go to great effort and risk personal loss or injury to protect or rescue the animals they love. Why? A sense of personal responsibility for the lives entrusted to our care is a hallmark of ethical human beings.
