Abstract:
Antimicrobial resistance and emerging infectious diseases, including avian influenza, Ebola virus disease, and Zika virus disease have significantly affected humankind in recent years. In the premodern era, no distinction was made between animal and human medicine. However, as medical science developed, the gap between human and animal science grew deeper. Cooperation among human, animal, and environmental sciences to combat emerging public health threats has become an important issue under the One Health Initiative. Herein, we presented the history of One Health, reviewed current public health threats, and suggested opportunities for the field of public health through better understanding of the One Health paradigm.
Insights
Antimicrobial resistance and emerging diseases pose global threats. The One Health Initiative promotes collaboration across human, animal, and environmental sectors to address these public health challenges effectively.
Area of Science:

- Veterinary Medicine
- Environmental Science
Background:
- Historically, human and animal medicine were intertwined.
- Modern medical advancements created a divide between human and animal health sciences.
- Emerging infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance are significant global concerns.
Observation:
- Diseases like avian influenza, Ebola, and Zika highlight interconnected health risks.
- The One Health Initiative emphasizes interdisciplinary cooperation.
- Understanding the One Health paradigm is crucial for public health.
Findings:
- The study reviews the historical context of the One Health approach.
- It analyzes current public health threats, including zoonotic diseases and antimicrobial resistance.
