“…The One Health EJP consortium guides others towards continued initiatives using a One Health approach and encourages further uptake of the instruments and opportunities arising from the outcomes. For example, the OH-EpiCap tool [4, 5] from JIP MATRIX is being applied in a EU4Health-co-funded project OH4Surveillance to evaluate surveillance systems in several countries [79].…”

“…The MATRIX project sought to create solutions to OHSSs implementation. Using a set of standardized indicators, the OH-EpiCap tool [4, 5], an interactive web-based tool, helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of epidemiological capacities of existing in-country surveillance systems and address gaps in multisectoral and multidisciplinary efforts [20, 21]. The Dashboard Information Centre developed under MATRIX then provides an interactive, informative repository and manual for One Health surveillance dashboards.…”

“…Over the project period of 5 years and 9 months, significant progress was made by the One Health EJP partners in the development and implementation of tools. Examples include those that are surveillance focused – OHEPI-Cap [4, 5]and One Health Surveillance System (OHSS) tool [6, 7], genomics focused – Integrated Rapid Infectious Disease Analysis (IRIDA) [8] and communication focused [9–11] to combat nationally or globally important infectious and AMR threats now and in the future. Activities including joint integrative projects (JIPs) and JRPs facilitated harmonization of surveillance activities and laboratory methods while providing opportunities to improve accessibility and usability of tools for risk assessment and risk management.…”

The application of a One Health approach recognizes that human health, animal health, plant health and ecosystem health are intrinsically connected. Tackling complex challenges associated with foodborne zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and emerging threats is imperative. Therefore, the One Health European Joint Programme was established within the European Union research programme Horizon 2020. The One Health European Joint Programme activities were based on the development and harmonization of a One Health science-based framework in the European Union (EU) and involved public health, animal health and food safety institutes from almost all EU Member States, the UK and Norway, thus strengthening the cooperation between public, medical and veterinary organizations in Europe. Activities including 24 joint research projects, 6 joint integrative projects and 17 PhD projects, and a multicountry simulation exercise facilitated harmonization of laboratory methods and surveillance, and improved tools for risk assessment. The provision of sustainable solutions is integral to a One Health approach. To ensure the legacy of the work of the One Health European Joint Programme, focus was on strategic communication and dissemination of the outputs and engagement of stakeholders at the national, European and international levels.

The convergence of microbiome science with the One Health principle heralds a transformative era in biology, prioritizing the collective well‐being of humans, animals, and the environment. This review delves into the intricate dance between microbiomes and their hosts, revealing their profound impact on health, nutrient cycles, and climate change. Championing a unified approach to health issues across diverse kingdoms of life, One Health emerges as a holistic strategy, underscored by a proposed universal balance theory, “Balance of Dynamic Factors.” This theory spotlights the equilibrium within microbial and human‐animal‐environment interactions, offering a revolutionary pathway to global health and social well‐being. It paves the way for disease prevention, health equity, and sustainability, all of which are purviews of a balanced ecological system. We navigate the challenges and opportunities of this integrative approach, culminating in a call for action for the incorporation of microbiome science into health policies, precision medicine, legislation, eco‐health projects, and education, thereby setting the stage for harmonious coexistence with our planet.

Background Viral infectious diseases of poverty (vIDPs) remain a significant global health challenge. Despite their profound impact, the burden of these diseases is not comprehensively quantified. This study aims to analyze the global burden of six major vIDPs, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), HIV/AIDS, acute hepatitis, dengue, rabies, and Ebola virus disease (EVD), using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2021 (GBD 2021). Methods Following the GBD 2021 framework, we analyzed the incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of the six vIDPs across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021. We examined the association between the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) and the burden of vIDPs. All estimates were reported as numbers and rates per 100,000 population, calculated using the Bayesian statistical model employed by GBD 2021, with 95% uncertainty intervals (UI). Results In 2021, vIDPs caused approximately 8.7 million deaths and 259.2 million DALYs, accounting for 12.8% and 9.0% of the global all-cause totals, respectively. Globally, the burden of vIDPs varied significantly: COVID-19 caused around 7.9 million (95% UI: 7.5, 8.4) deaths and 212.0 million (95% UI 197.9, 234.7) DALYs in 2021. Acute hepatitis had the second-highest age-standardized incidence rate, with 3411.5 (95% UI: 3201.8, 3631.3) per 100,000 population, while HIV/AIDS had a high age-standardized prevalence rate, with 483.1 (95% UI: 459.0, 511.4) per 100,000 population. Dengue incidence cases rose from 26.5 million (95% UI: 3.9, 51.9) in 1990 to 59.0 million (95% UI: 15.5, 106.9) in 2021. Rabies, although reduced in prevalence, continued to pose a significant mortality risk. EVD had the lowest overall burden but significant outbreak impacts. Age-standardized DALY rates for vIDPs were significantly negatively correlated with SDI: acute hepatitis (r = −0.8, P < 0.0001), rabies (r = −0.7, P < 0.0001), HIV/AIDS (r = −0.6, P < 0.0001), COVID-19 (r = −0.5, P < 0.0001), dengue (r = −0.4, P < 0.0001), and EVD (r = −0.2, P < 0.005). Conclusions VIDPs pose major public health challenges worldwide, with significant regional, age, and gender disparities. The results underscore the need for targeted interventions and international cooperation to mitigate the burden of these diseases. Policymakers can use these findings to implement cost-effective interventions and improve health outcomes, particularly in regions with high or increasing burdens.
