One health: The interface between veterinary and human health

Abstract

One Health is an emerging global key concept integrating human and animal health through international research and policy. The complex relationships between the human and animal have resulted in a human-animal-environment interface since prehistorical times. The people, animals, plants, and the environment are so intrinsically linked that prevention of risks and the mitigation of effects of crises that originate at the interface between humans, animals, and their environments can only improve health and wellbeing. The "One Health" approach has been successfully implemented in numerous projects around the world. The containment of pandemic threats such as avian influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome within months of outbreak are few examples of successful applications of the One Health paradigm. The paper begins with a brief overview of the human-animal interface and continues with the socio-economic and public health impact caused by various zoonotic diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome, Influenza, and Ebola virus. This is followed by the role of "One Health" to deal the global problem by the global solution. It emphasizes the interdisciplinary collaboration, training for health professionals and institutional support to minimize global health threats due to infectious diseases. The broad definition of the concept is supposed to lead multiple interpretations that impede the effective implementation of One Health approach within veterinary profession, within the medical profession, by wildlife specialists and by environmentalists, while on the other side, it gives a value of interdisciplinary collaboration for reducing threats in human-animal-environment interface.

“…This is the first report of the detection of carbapenem-resistant E. coli on dairy farms in Thailand, where there is a need for more concern about the usage of antimicrobial drugs. This result also implied the potential distribution of carbapenem-resistant E. coli within the dairy herds as well as may be infected to human and becoming the circulation of antimicrobial-resistant E. coli which affecting among human, animal, and environmental health that called "One Health" [16][17][18][19][20], as shown in Figure -3. These findings suggest that a cautious and thoughtful approach should be adopted with antimicrobial drug usage in dairy farms, especially in Saraburi Province.…”

Veterinary Drug Development from Indonesian Herbal Origin: Challenges and Opportunities

“…These reasons do not impact the science used to develop such dosage forms, but they heavily impact the outcomes such as the size, shape, volume administered, etc., of the dosage form. Veterinary pharmaceuticals play an important role in human and animal health [45,46]. Dosage forms are how drug molecules or plant parts are delivered to sites of action within the body [47].…”
