Abstract:

With the acceleration of globalization, increased migration, the rapid development of international trade and tourism, and the intensified environmental changes, complex health problems and the resulting public crises frequently occur, which population health at serious risk as well as the animals and plants. People became aware of the close connections between human health, animal health, and the ecological system, from which the new concept and connotation of health have emerged. Under the guidance of this new concept, starting from a holistic view of “human-animal-environment” health, and with multi-institutional, interdisciplinary, and cross-regional collaboration, people began to use the theory of One Health to solve complicated health problems. In this paper, we systematically expound the One Health concept from three levels: the origin, connotation and prospect, and propose a framework of One Health connotation system to explore the ways to achieve One Health and predict the future direction of One Health.

Key words: One Health, One Health science, One Health governance, Human and natural life community
