This systematic review investigates how One Health systems, integrated digital platforms combining human, animal, and environmental health data, are currently designed and implemented for infectious disease detection and management. The study aims to identify integration patterns, functional purposes, and user interactivity across 202 reviewed systems published between 2015 and 2024. It categorized these systems by their purpose, diseases addressed, data types (human, animal, environmental), and user groups, such as public health officials and researchers. The tasks performed include data collection, analysis, visualization, and decision-making. Interactive techniques range from interactive filtering to predictive modeling, with varying levels of user interactivity, and note whether functional systems are available online. The search strategy utilized the keywords "one health dashboard visualization system OR one health dashboard OR one health system" across various databases Including IEEE xplore ScienceDirect PubMed And google scholar As well as other sources. While a significant portion of studies still rely on single-domain data, i.e., 20% of studies use only human data, 12% use only animal data, and 10% use only environmental data. The largest group (30%) integrates human and animal data, followed by 12% combining human and environmental data, and a smaller portion (1%) integrating animal and environmental data. The details of this comprehensive survey can be found on this webpage: https://onlylinks.cc/DjHH. There is a clear trend toward integrating multiple datasets, especially Human and Animal data. However, fully integrated One Health systems that combine all three domains remain relatively limited and often take the form of commentaries rather than applied systems, highlighting an opportunity for more comprehensive, data-driven implementations in future research.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in foodborne bacteria is an escalating global public health challenge, threatening the effectiveness of antibiotics and food safety. This review examines AMR trends in foodborne bacteria, compares management strategies across different regions, and explores policies aligned with the One Health approach. Data from Taiwan, the United States, the European Union, Japan, and Africa indicate that foodborne pathogens exhibit significant resistance to antibiotics, posing serious challenges to public health and food systems. In response to this growing challenge, nations have implemented surveillance programs, national action plans, and public awareness campaigns, often guided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and international frameworks. It also proposes key management strategies, including risk assessment, environmental monitoring of food production and processing, and enhanced cross-sector collaboration. By integrating national AMR management efforts with global best practices, countries can strengthen their capacity to address this pressing challenge. Collaborative actions, including policy alignment, research innovation, and cross-sector cooperation, are essential for achieving more effective control of foodborne AMR pathogens worldwide.

Blastocystis is one of the most prevalent intestinal protists, colonizing more than one billion people worldwide. Nevertheless, its role in health and disease remains blurred. Blastocystis was historically dismissed as a commensal. However, it can have pathogenic or protective effects. This review synthesizes molecular epidemiology, clinical research, microbiome studies, and experimental models through a One Health approach to reassess Blastocystis. Subtypes ST1-ST4 are dominant in humans, but their health outcomes vary. ST4 is associated with irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory responses. However, it has also been shown to exert protective effects on murine colitis models. In contrast, ST3 is frequently detected in healthy individuals with a diverse gut microbiota. Blastocystis is also widespread in animals, untreated water, wastewater, and food, reflecting complex transmission dynamics and raising concerns in low- and middle-income countries where poverty-related exposures increase risks. Diagnostic advances have improved detection, although mixed infections and inconsistent clinical interpretations persist, and treatment guidelines remain absent. Rather than being a uniform pathogen or benign passenger, Blastocystis emerges as a context-dependent component of the gut ecosystem and environmental microbiota. Its ubiquity across humans, animals, and the environment requires integrated surveillance, subtype-informed research, and interdisciplinary health strategies. Recognizing the ecological complexity of Blastocystis is essential for equitable diagnostics, treatment, and public health responses within the One Health framework.

Vibrio has emerged as one of responsive pathogens to the conditions imposed by global warming, with an increasing impact in northern Europe. The epidemiological significance of these pathogens remains undetermined in the south of Europe. We analyzed clinical and epidemiological data from cases in southern Spain, a well-established climate hotspot. A 13-year retrospective analysis identified 167 clinical infection cases. Monthly seawater temperatures since 2010 were also evaluated to assess their correlation with infection occurrence. V. alginolyticus, Shewanella putrefaciens, S. algae, V. parahaemolyticus, V. fluvialis, and V. vulnificus were the most frequently isolated species from clinical cases such as otitis, gastroenteritis, infected wounds, and sepsis. An increase in incidence was observed over the study period in parallel to the warming trend in coastal waters. While this suggests an association between environmental change and Vibrio infections, additional factors such as population exposure patterns may likely also contribute. These findings underscore the need for surveillance systems to monitor the burden of these infections.

Fascioliasis is a parasitic infection caused by Fasciola spp., primarily affecting ruminant animals. These digenean flatworms cause severe liver damage in their hosts, resulting in substantial economic losses within the livestock industry. Human fascioliasis is an emerging public health concern, with an estimated global prevalence of 2.6 million cases. Infection in humans typically occurs through the ingestion of aquatic vegetation or water contaminated with metacercariae. Triclabendazole (TCBZ) remains the only drug recommended by WHO for the treatment of human fascioliasis and is widely used in livestock. However, the increasing prevalence of TCBZ resistance in livestock, along with reports of TCBZ-resistant human infections, poses a growing challenge to disease control. Although it has been suggested that resistant livestock infections may contribute to the emergence of resistance in human populations, this relationship has not been systematically investigated. In this study, we characterized the mitochondrial genomes of TCBZ-resistant and TCBZ-sensitive F. hepatica isolates from human infections and conducted a comparative haplotype analysis with F. hepatica samples obtained from cattle in the same region of Peru. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic and haplotype network analyses of 304 animal and 11 human F. hepatica samples identified five distinct haplogroups. Mitochondrial haplotypes from human infections clustered into monophyletic groups alongside those from animal hosts, supporting the hypothesis of local zoonotic transmission from animal reservoirs. Additionally, a phylogeographic analysis of global ND1 sequence diversity provided insights into the demographic history of the parasite across pre- and post-domestication periods and revealed genetic signatures of global dissemination that have shaped its present-day distribution.

Global escalation of infectious disease outbreak risks necessitates advanced predictive models. Despite methodological advances, errors in initial states and parameters of epidemiological dynamic models remain a key limitation to prediction reliability. To address this limitation, we propose an optimized data assimilation framework for combined state-parameter optimization based on Ensemble Kalman Filter. We design space transformations and adaptive covariance inflation driven by epidemic development and prediction errors, achieving a more stable update process and rapid response to epidemic changes. Through synthetic experiments and real-world case studies, the proposed scheme significantly reduces initial state and parameter errors, leading to a substantial improvement in prediction accuracy during the early stages of an epidemic. Compared with predictions without data assimilation, the average prediction error rate decreased by more than 50 % for 1-day predictions and by approximately 15 % for 7-day predictions. The prediction accuracy rate for the peak day of the epidemic and the peak number of infected cases reached more than 70 % in advance by 3 days. Critically, simple dynamical model integrated with our data assimilation framework outperform complex models without data assimilation. This study establishes data assimilation as an essential tool for epidemic forecasting and provides an extensible framework adaptable to multiple infectious diseases, offering critical support for public health decision making.

Background
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, a commensal in dogs, is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with increasing methicillin-resistant (MRSP) strains. This study investigated MRSP isolates from hospital environments and healthcare workers in Bojnurd, Iran, to assess antimicrobial resistance and zoonotic potential.
Methods
Nasal swabs from healthcare workers (n = 40) and hospital supplies (n = 35) were cultured. Phenotypic and genotypic analyses included antimicrobial susceptibility testing (Kirby-Bauer), PCR for resistance (mecA, vanA, cfr) and virulence genes (pvl, hla, icaA/D), SCCmec typing, and multilocus sequence typing (MLST).
Results
Two MRSP isolates (ST2361) were identified, one from a nasal swab and another from hospital supplies. Both exhibited resistance to β-lactams (cefoxitin, penicillin), fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and sulfonamide-trimethoprim, but susceptibility to tetracyclines, gentamicin, linezolid, and vancomycin. PCR confirmed mecA and virulence genes (pvl, hla, icaA/D). A SCCmec pattern consistent with type IV and identical ST2361 profiles suggested potential clonal relatedness.
Conclusion
The presence of MRSP ST2361 in humans and hospital environments highlights its zoonotic and nosocomial transmission risks. The isolates' multidrug resistance and virulence genes underscore the need for improved diagnostics, antimicrobial stewardship, and infection control measures in healthcare settings.

Background
Talaromycosis (TSM), a severe fungal infection caused by Talaromyces marneffei (TM), poses a significant threat to immunocompromised individuals in recent years. Despite its high mortality and socioeconomic burden, predictive spatial risk distributions are lacking.
Methods
Here, we first employed a One Health framework to model current and future TM/TSM risk distributions across China. Using the Maximum Entropy (Maxent) model, we predicted the habitat suitability for three key bamboo rat reservoir species. Based on this, we developed the risk distribution maps of TM/TSM across China by integrating socio-economic factors.
Results
Accurate modeling results (AUC: 0.958–0.999) identified precipitation- and temperature- related factors as decisive environmental drivers. Specifically, high-suitability regions were concentrated in Southern/Southwestern China (Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangdong Provinces), coincident with known endemic areas. Furthermore, human infection risk maps were generated by integrating suitability distribution with socio-economic factors (HIV incidence, population density, GDP). High-risk hotspots stratified by HIV status confirmed core endemic zones for HIV-positive populations and identified broader risk areas for HIV-negative populations (e.g., parts of Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian Provinces). Projections under different climate change scenarios showed host suitability will decrease under low emissions (SSP126) but expand under high emissions (SSP585), indicating dynamic future TM/TSM risk patterns and disease administration dependent on emission conditions.
Conclusions
Collectively, these findings first revealed high-resolution predictive risk maps of TM/TSM in China and provided valuable reference for targeted public health interventions. The proposed methods in this study will also shed light on the prevention and administration of other “fungi - animal host - human” diseases in both current and emerging risk zones under climate change in the future.

Despite efforts to control visceral leishmaniasis (VL), the disease remains a major burden in low- and middle-income countries. In South America, insecticide-impregnated dog collars help prevent disease transmission, as dogs are the main reservoirs in urban areas. This study evaluated the efficacy of 4 % deltamethrin-impregnated collars (DMC) against canine VL (CVL) over a 24-month period in an endemic area of Brazil. We compared 941 DMC dogs with 1032 control dogs (C) across four geographic areas with similar baseline disease prevalence. The difference between the DMC and C cohorts was statistically significant (p < 0.05), and the study achieved an overall efficacy of 63 %, 51 %, 48 %, and 58 % at the first, second, third, and fourth follow-ups, respectively. Among dogs that remained protected, efficacy was 74 %, 67 %, 100 %, and 100 % across the follow-ups, whereas in dogs that lost their collars between follow-ups, efficacy was 45 %, 10 %, 23 %, and - 11 %. Collar loss between follow-ups was associated with a 2.25-fold increase in the odds of CVL (OR 2.25, p < 0.05). No statistically significant geographical variation in collar loss was observed, and most losses were potentially preventable. However, infrequently bathed dogs had significantly higher odds of CVL (OR 9.93, p < 0.05). These results help demystify sociocultural stigmas related to collar loss and support the development of targeted public health education initiatives. Ensuring collar retention, incorporating owners' cultural behaviors to promote consistent collar use, and integrating educational actions within the One Health and Health Promotion frameworks are crucial to maximizing the success of large-scale dog interventions in public health.

Bartonellosis is a neglected vector-borne zoonotic disease caused by Bartonella species that infect a wide array of mammals. The adaptation of Bartonella to various animal hosts, including small mammal populations, has been reported, indicating their potential as a significant reservoir harboring a high genetic diversity of these pathogens, thereby posing a risk for zoonotic transmission to humans through close ecological or physical contact. Thus, this study aimed to give an overview of the prevalence and the genetic diversity of Bartonella spp in small mammals throughout Europe. Consequently, a systematic review was undertaken by retrieving all relevant articles indexed in PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. Subsequently, a meta-analysis was performed to compute the pooled prevalence of Bartonella spp. Moreover, subgroup moderator analyses were then performed, examining the impact of sub-European region, sample type, gender, and small mammal species on the observed prevalence estimates. A total of 76 studies were included in this study. The estimated pooled prevalence of Bartonella spp across small mammal populations in Europe was 30%. Notably, regional analysis revealed significant variations, with the highest prevalence observed in the Eastern region (43%). At the country level, Russia had the highest pooled prevalence of 65%, while Austria had the lowest estimated prevalence (5.7%). Although variations were observed in Bartonella spp prevalence among subgroups, this difference was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05). A high diversity of Bartonella spp was observed in European small mammals with twenty-one Bartonella species detected, and nine of them being pathogenic to humans. The present study offers a comprehensive understanding of the eco-epidemiology of Bartonella spp in small mammal in Europe, providing insight into their role as reservoirs and potential vectors in the maintenance and transmission of Bartonella species.
巴尔通体病是一种被忽视的媒介传播的人畜共患疾病,由感染多种哺乳动物的巴尔通体引起。据报道,巴尔通体对各种动物宿主(包括小型哺乳动物种群)的适应性表明,巴尔通体可能是这些病原体高度遗传多样性的重要宿主,从而可能通过密切的生态或物理接触将人畜共患疾病传播给人类。因此,本研究旨在对整个欧洲小型哺乳动物巴尔通体的流行和遗传多样性进行概述。因此,通过检索PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science索引的所有相关文章,进行了系统综述。随后,进行了荟萃分析以计算巴尔通体的总流行率。此外,进行了亚组调节分析,检查了亚欧洲地区、样本类型、性别和小型哺乳动物物种对观察到的流行率估计的影响。本研究共纳入76项研究。巴尔通体在欧洲小型哺乳动物种群中的估计总流行率为30%。值得注意的是,区域分析显示了显著差异,东部地区的患病率最高(43%)。在国家一级,俄罗斯的总患病率最高,为65%,而奥地利的估计患病率最低(5.7%)。虽然各亚组间巴尔通体患病率存在差异,但差异无统计学意义(p值0.05)。欧洲小型兽类巴尔通体具有高度多样性,共检出21种巴尔通体,其中9种对人类具有致病性。本研究对欧洲小型哺乳动物巴尔通体的生态流行病学有了全面的了解,并对其作为宿主和潜在媒介在巴尔通体维持和传播中的作用有了深入的了解。
