Ecosystem Health, Conservation Medicine, EcoHealth, One Health, Planetary Health and GeoHealth are inter-related disciplines that underpin a shared understanding of the functional prerequisites of health, sustainable vitality and wellbeing. All of these are based on recognition that health interconnects species across the planet, and they offer ways to more effectively tackle complex real-world challenges. Herein we present a bibliometric analysis to document usage of a subset of such terms by journals over time. We also provide examples of parasitic and vector-borne diseases, including malaria, toxoplasmosis, baylisascariasis, and Lyme disease. These and many other diseases have persisted, emerged or re-emerged, and caused great harm to human and animal populations in developed and low income, biodiverse nations around the world, largely because of societal drivers that undermined natural processes of disease prevention and control, which had developed through co-evolution over millennia. Shortcomings in addressing drivers has arisen from a lack or coordinated efforts among researchers, health stewards, societies at large, and governments. Fortunately, specialists collaborating under transdisciplinary and socio-ecological health umbrellas are increasingly integrating established and new techniques for disease modeling, prediction, diagnosis, treatment, control, and prevention. Such approaches often emphasize conservation of biodiversity for health protection, and they provide novel opportunities to increase the efficiency and probability of success.
生态系统健康、保护医学、生态健康、同一健康、行星健康和地球健康是相互关联的学科，它们构成了对健康、可持续活力和幸福的功能前提条件的共同理解。所有这些都基于这样一种认识，即健康将地球上的物种相互联系起来，并且它们提供了更有效地应对复杂现实世界挑战的方法。在此，我们进行文献计量分析，以记录期刊对这类术语子集的使用随时间的变化情况。我们还提供了寄生虫病和媒介传播疾病的例子，包括疟疾、弓形虫病、贝利斯蛔虫病和莱姆病。这些疾病以及许多其他疾病持续存在、出现或再次出现，并对世界各地发达和低收入、生物多样性丰富国家的人类和动物种群造成了巨大危害，这主要是由于社会驱动因素破坏了通过数千年共同进化形成的疾病预防和控制的自然过程。在应对这些驱动因素方面存在不足，原因是研究人员、健康管理者、广大社会和政府之间缺乏协调努力。幸运的是，在跨学科和社会生态健康框架下合作的专家们越来越多地将成熟的和新的疾病建模、预测、诊断、治疗、控制和预防技术整合起来。这些方法通常强调保护生物多样性以保护健康，并且它们提供了提高效率和成功概率的新机会。
