Textual analysis on One Health development and practice
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Objective: To understand the application and research hotspots of One Health in the development of global public health, summarize and refine experiences from successful practice cases of One Health, reflect on the existing problems and shortcomings in China's current practice, and put forward corresponding suggestions and countermeasures, providing insights for improving the practice strategy of One Health in China and the development of public health. Methods: A two-dimensional analytical framework was established based on the dimensions of One Health classification and research hotspots. Content analysis was used to analyze 49 case texts and 214 pieces of content related to the development and practice of One Health. Results: In the One Health content classification in the X dimension, animal health was the most studied, followed by human health, while environmental health was the least studied, accounting for 42.52%, 35.51% and 21.96%, respectively. In the research hotspots of the Y dimension, emerging infectious diseases accounted for the highest proportion (37.38%), followed by zoonotic diseases (36.45%), antibiotic abuse (14.49%), and food safety problems accounted for relatively lower proportion (11.68%). In the twodimensional coupled analysis, practices related to animal health were imbalanced, with exploration related to zoonosis being the most common (22.90%), and those related to antibiotic resistance being the least (1.87%). Practices related to emerging infectious diseases accounted for the greatest proportion (18.22%) in population health studies, while food safety problems accounted for the smallest proportion (3.74%). The practices and exploration of environmental health were more balanced. Conclusions: In future One Health practices, multi-departmental, cross-field and multi-disciplinary participation should be established with leadership and organization. A rapid, rich and accurate information sharing platform should be enhanced to address the imbalance in the overall structure of One Health research and improve the two-dimensional coupling degree of specific research in the One Health field.
