Abstract

Introduction. The primary goal of this article is to raise attentiveness about the critical need for vector-borne disease control in Nigeria in relation to One Health, as well as to examine existing understanding on this subject matter, which is quickly befitting as a valuable resource for public health policymakers and specialists across the country. Globally, there has been an increase in the number of vectors, which has resulted in an increase in vector-borne diseases. Thousands of individuals die every year as a consequence of vector-borne diseases, and there is an urgent need to manage these vectors. Material and methods. The present research used PubMed, ResearchGate, WHO and other online databases with the following keywords “Climate change in Nigeria”, “Public health in Nigeria”, “Vector-borne Diseases”, “Nigeria population” and “One Health in Nigeria”. Results. We observed that there has not been an implementation of the One Health approach against Vector-borne diseases in Nigeria. Conclusions. The One Health strategy has the potential to address this issue. One Health is the concept that the health of human is intertwined with that of animals and our collective environment. Malaria is a vector-borne disease that is one of Nigeria's biggest health issues. However, land use changes such as deforestation, mining, and other activities have increased in Nigeria, while climate changes have increased internationally.
尼日利亚在控制病媒传播疾病方面需要实施一种保健办法
介绍。本文的主要目标是提高人们对尼日利亚与“同一个健康”相关的病媒传播疾病控制的迫切需要的关注,并审查对这一主题的现有理解,这很快就适合作为全国公共卫生政策制定者和专家的宝贵资源。在全球范围内,病媒数量增加,导致病媒传播疾病增加。每年有数千人死于病媒传播的疾病,迫切需要对这些病媒进行管理。材料和方法。本研究使用PubMed、ResearchGate、WHO等在线数据库,关键词为“尼日利亚的气候变化”、“尼日利亚的公共卫生”、“媒介传播疾病”、“尼日利亚人口”和“尼日利亚的一个健康”。结果。我们注意到,尼日利亚尚未实施针对病媒传播疾病的“同一个健康”方针。结论。“同一个健康”战略有可能解决这一问题。“同一个健康”的概念是人类的健康与动物的健康和我们的集体环境交织在一起。疟疾是一种媒介传播的疾病,是尼日利亚最大的健康问题之一。然而,在尼日利亚,森林砍伐、采矿和其他活动等土地利用变化有所增加,而全球气候变化也在加剧。
