“…Thus, this program will create a common approach for interactive training among government officials, managers, doctors, technicians, and the general public. Some studies have focused on the vaccination of livestock as the most effective way to prevent disease in humans [7,9,22,25,26], while some studies have focused on the In the present study, the researchers identified the results of operations and infrastructures of the One Health approach to the control and eradication of brucellosis through a comprehensive evaluation of these aspects.…”

“…The term "One Health" emerged from the joint efforts of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) [27,28]. The findings of this study, which were extracted from ten selected articles, showed that the role of livestock vaccination in the prevention and control of brucellosis is very important and it is almost impossible to control and eradicate the disease without it [7,9,26,28]. There was a statistically significant difference between vaccination and brucellosis incidence in eradicated zones [7,9].…”

“…The role of education in disease control, by raising awareness of One Health approach among policymakers, stakeholders, farmers, health care workers, and the general public, is critical to the tackle brucellosis and other zoonoses. Most of the rural population in Asia and Africa have a low level of awareness of brucellosis: understanding the risk of this disease can affect the development and implementation of appropriate disease control strategies as well as the adoption of the best practices [23,26,31].…”

“…In many countries, the health care program is poorly organized and formal data (obtained passively) underestimates the real burden of the disease. Although it imposes a major burden in the underdeveloped and developing countries, a global approach relying on the concept of One Health should be implemented to curb such a burden [23,26,32]. Success in this program depends on cooperation between institutions and agencies within countries and collaboration with neighboring countries [26].…”

One health approach to tackle brucellosis: a systematic review

Background Brucellosis is the most significant and common bacterial zoonosis and is recognized as a re-emerging and neglected disease. Tackling zoonosis is very important for the health and the economy. One Health is an approach characterized by the integration of human and animal health, plants, and ecosystems and encourages joining local, national, and global multidisciplinary efforts to achieve optimal levels of health and collaboration among different disciplines to address complex health problems. Objectives The present study aimed to review published scientific literature related to the use of the One Health approach to tackle human brucellosis. Methods Web of Science (WoS), PubMed, Scopus, The Cochrane Library, and Embase databases were searched from inception until 30 January 2020. The reference lists of all relevant papers were hand-searched. Two authors extracted data from published studies independently. The Joanna Briggs Institute tool was used to assess the quality of studies. Results Of 2297 studies, 10 studies were deemed eligible, which were conducted between 2013 and 2019. Studies were performed in Uganda, Malta, Serbia, Greece, Mongolia, Azerbaijan, Israel, India, Ethiopia, and the USA. All studies suggested that brucellosis is still a major public health problem and that the most important aspect of the One Health approach is the interdependence of humans, ecosystems, and animals .Some studies have focused on livestock vaccination as the most effective way to prevent disease, and others have focused on the biology of Brucella infection and its transmission patterns. Some studies have pointed to the effectiveness of the One Health approach in all the phases of disease management as well as to its role in reducing health costs. Conclusion The success of the approach depends on the willingness of the decision-makers to implement the necessary policies. Due to the heterogeneity of current practices, and organizations involved in One Health approach-based programs, it will be incomplete without proper planning. To better implement the approach, strategies should be appraised and disseminated by experts and relevant stakeholders.
