“…Overall, the One Health approach recognises the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health and emphasises collaborative efforts to address complex health challenges such as bTB in low and middle-income countries [98][99][100]. By integrating expertise from multiple disciplines and sectors, the One Health approach holds great promise for controlling and eventually eliminating bTB while safeguarding public health and promoting sustainable development.…”

Introduction: Bovine tuberculosis is a zoonotic disease of significant impact, particularly in countries where a pastoral economy is predominant. Despite its importance, few studies have analysed the disease’s behaviour in Colombia, and none have developed maps using geographic information systems (GIS) to characterise it; as such, we developed this study to describe the temporal–spatial distribution of bovine tuberculosis in Colombia over a period of 19 years. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional descriptive study, based on reports by the Colombian Agricultural Institute (ICA), surveillance of tuberculosis on cattle farms in Colombia from 2001 to 2019 was carried out. The data were converted into databases using Microsoft Access 365®, and multiple epidemiological maps were generated with the QGIS® version 3.36 software coupled to shape files of all the country’s departments. Results: During the study period, 5273 bovine tuberculosis cases were identified in multiple different departments of Colombia (with a mean of 278 cases/year). Regarding its temporal distribution, the number of cases varied from a maximum of 903 cases (17.12% of the total) in 2015 to a minimum of 0 between 2001 and 2004 and between 2017 and 2019 (between 2005 and 2016, the minimum was 46 cases, 0.87%). Conclusions: GIS are essential for understanding the temporospatial behaviour of zoonotic diseases in Colombia, as is the case for bovine tuberculosis, with its potential implications for the Human and One Health approaches.

“…In addition, epidemiological surveillance, and the capacity to diagnose and treat CD cases in the health system must be strengthened. Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a key role in effectively addressing the challenges associated with the oral transmission of CD in Colombia and other Latin American countries [ 42 ].…”

“…Complimenting the JIPs, the One Health EJP simulation exercise (SimEx) [35, 36] project is an example of using the One Health approach and tools developed in the One Health EJP in a learning exercise to address a foodborne zoonotic disease outbreak. This tabletop SimEx assessed the level of communication and collaboration between public health, animal health and food safety sectors within the 11 countries that participated in the exercise [37]. Through this exercise, OHEJP SimEx provided evidence towards the improvement of in-country One Health application to outbreak preparedness [35].…”

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.
