One Health connects three main health elements: humans, animals, and the environment. Protists influence all three, but their role in the overall One Health framework has been widely overlooked. Here, we highlight the key characteristics that make protists integral to the One Health framework and provide examples on the negative and positive effects of protists on each element. Most importantly, we emphasize how protists connect all One Health elements. Finally, we discuss how protists can be leveraged to enhance One Health. In conclusion, the vast diversity (phylogenetical, functional, and morphological) of protists is key in shaping One Health and can be targeted to improve individual One Health elements and their connections.
“同一健康”连接了三个主要的健康要素：人类、动物和环境。原生生物对这三个要素都有影响，但其在整体“同一健康”框架中的作用却一直被广泛忽视。在此，我们强调了使原生生物成为“同一健康”框架不可或缺部分的关键特征，并举例说明了原生生物对每个要素的负面影响和正面影响。最重要的是，我们强调了原生生物如何连接“同一健康”的所有要素。最后，我们讨论了如何利用原生生物来加强“同一健康”。总之，原生生物的巨大多样性（系统发育、功能和形态方面）是塑造“同一健康”的关键，并且可以针对其来改善各个“同一健康”要素及其联系。
