One Health as a catalyst for sustainable development

The Global Contributions of Working Equids to Sustainable Agriculture and Livelihoods in Agenda 2030

“…Although not specifically mentioned in SDG 3, One Health is of growing importance as an approach for optimising health of people, animals, and ecosystems (Dye 2022 ). Improvements in animal health and welfare, including strengthened animal health systems, benefits global health security by reducing zoonotic disease transmission (Horsetalk 2020 ; Lönker et al 2020 ).…”

A decade of innovation to deepen the understanding of infectious diseases of poverty and foster their control and elimination

“…7 Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute, Allschwil, Switzerland. 8 University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland. 9 National Institute of Parasitic Diseases at Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Chinese Center for Tropical Diseases Research, Shanghai, People's Republic of China.…”

“…During the last decade, the journal has endorsed and promoted the One Health discipline, which has evolved from concept to practices [7], and from the first One World, One Health Conference formulating the Manhattan principles in 2004, to the action plan that has been formulated by four international organizations, namely the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH/OIE), the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), and WHO.

“…The OH approach is a very challenging strategy in developing countries like Brazil, especially to avoid setting goals that are too narrow or too broad, which lack prioritization of needs (Dye 2022 ).
