The One Health framing lands after 500 human cases, which means the animal surveillance was either not linked to human diagnostics or someone decided the threshold for proactive was higher than triple digits. Does waiting for the human caseload to justify the coordination budget actually save money, or just make it cheaper to call the doctrine obvious in retrospect than to staff the interagency working group before the flies cross county lines?

The geographic distribution of the human cases unsurprisingly mirrored the distribution of reported animal cases. The researchers conclude that the cases highlight an important link between human and animal health, writing that surveillance and fly-suppression activities should be implemented proactively at the leading edge of expansion, rather than only after human cases are detected.

    'After human cases are detected' doing the work there. One Health gets budget once it can be framed as response instead of prevention. Turns out the doctrine is cheaper to cite in the paper than to coordinate between two ministries when the outbreak is still just livestock.
