One Health has gained a remarkable profile in the animal and public health communities, in part owing to the pressing issues of emerging infectious diseases of wildlife origin. Wildlife parasitology can offer insights into One Health, and likewise One Health can provide justification to study and act on wildlife parasites. But how do we decide which wildlife parasites are One Health issues? We explore toxoplasmosis in wildlife in the Canadian Arctic as an example of a parasite that poses a risk to human health, and that also has potential to adversely affect wildlife populations of conservation concern and importance for food security and cultural well-being. This One Health framework can help communities, researchers, and policymakers prioritize issues for action in a resource-limited world.
“同一健康”理念在动物和公共卫生领域已备受瞩目,部分原因在于源自野生动物的新发传染病所带来的紧迫问题。野生动物寄生虫学可为“同一健康”理念提供见解,同样,“同一健康”理念也可为研究野生动物寄生虫并采取相应行动提供依据。但我们如何确定哪些野生动物寄生虫属于“同一健康”问题呢?我们以加拿大北极地区野生动物的弓形虫病为例进行探讨,这种寄生虫对人类健康构成风险,同时也有可能对具有保护意义、关乎粮食安全和文化福祉的野生动物种群产生不利影响。这一“同一健康”框架有助于社区组织、研究人员和政策制定者在资源有限的世界中确定需优先采取行动的问题。
