It is also regarded as one of the most serious endemic disease in China. This study aimed to investigate the spatial correlation and determinants of this disease. Monitoring data of children and possible influencing factors were collected from 37 KBD regions in Gansu Province. The spatial autocorrelation method was used to describe the spatial aggregation of KBD, and the spatial regression analysis was used to explore the natural environment and socioeconomic factors influencing KBD incidence. The results showed that the X-ray detection rate of KBD demonstrated a significant negative spatial correlation, with Kangle county and its neighboring areas located in southcenter of Gansu Province were hot spots of KBD. The spatial lag model revealed that rainfall, the proportion of afforestation in cultivated land, and population density had negative effects on the X-ray detection rate of KBD. The prevalence of KBD in Gansu Province is determined by a combination of natural environment and socioeconomic factors. Precision prevention and control should be implemented by the specific conditions of each diseased region.</p>","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":"410-420"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study maps the evolution, geographic distribution, collaborative structure, and thematic fronts of SDG 3-related research published between 2015 and 2023 using a bibliometric network approach. The analysis is based on 10,676 Scopus-indexed publications, with country-level patterns cross-validated using Web of Science data to assess the robustness of geographic findings. Results reveal sustained and accelerating growth in SDG 3 research, particularly after 2019. Research output and collaboration networks remain concentrated in high-income countries, most notably the USA and the UK, while many low- and middle-income countries remain underrepresented in indexed literature. India emerges as a key bridging actor within international collaboration networks, while China exhibits substantial collaboration strength and sustained publication output, together reflecting evolving patterns of global research connectivity. Thematic mapping identifies four principal research clusters: (1) health systems and governance; (2) sustainable development and well-being; (3) technological and circular innovation in healthcare; and (4) climate- and ecosystem-related health risks. Emerging paradigms such as One (Digital) Health, Circular Health, and HealthCare 5.0 reflect a broader shift toward integrative, sustainability-oriented health frameworks that position health within interconnected ecological, technological, and governance systems. The study provides insights for researchers and policymakers while acknowledging limitations related to database coverage and reliance on SDG-specific terminology in the search strategy.</p>","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":"421-444"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147678406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, South Asia, which is particularly vulnerable to climate change, lacks sufficient data in this regard, especially the highly biodiverse region of Northeast India. This region is particularly susceptible to emerging infectious diseases and has been identified as a hotspot for both biodiversity and zoonotic diseases. In this review, we emphasize Northeast India's rich biological diversity, high anthropogenic pressures, and environmental changes, which make it an important location for surveillance and monitoring of factors that promote spillover of zoonotic infectious diseases.

In several Canadian peri-urban nature parks, these pressures contribute to ecological imbalances, including overabundant white-tailed deer populations and emerging tick-borne diseases. Wildlife management interventions can have different purposes such as biodiversity conservation and protection of animal health or human health, but the acceptability of some of them, like culling, can be controversial. This qualitative study explored factors influencing the acceptability of such interventions. Seven focus groups were conducted, involving 22 park users from six peri-urban nature parks in southeastern Québec, Canada. Discussions explored perceptions of current and potential wildlife interventions. Findings revealed that emotional connections to the park and its wildlife, concern for animal welfare, awareness of links between biodiversity, health and human behaviors, trust in science and management authorities, and transparent communication all influence acceptability. Participants showed a strong understanding of ecological issues and their connections to emerging health risks. Fostering understanding among the public and decision-makers, particularly regarding links between ecosystem imbalances and health, is crucial to improving the acceptability of wildlife interventions in peri-urban nature parks. Building on existing public awareness through transparent communication and proactive engagement by managers and scientists remains essential to building trust and supporting effective wildlife management to protect biodiversity and human and animal health.</p>","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148820118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to (1) assess a representative sample of peer-reviewed and newspaper articles in the United States (U.S.) for One Health coverage and (2) highlight locally based cases that exemplify One Health approaches. We conducted a systematic search of peer-reviewed literature and local newspaper reports for articles published from January 2010 to May 2024 for references to human, other animal, and environmental health domains and community engagement and developed a rubric to score returned articles for relevant terms. We also describe three case examples of local One Health applications known to the authors from personal and professional experience. (1) The peer-reviewed literature returned no articles about local One Health. A separate descriptive analysis was performed on newspaper articles. Out of a sample of 350 of the 2634 newspaper articles returned, 37 did not meet inclusion criteria, and only 8 (2.6%) articles met our One Health criteria. (2) All three cases qualified as One Health initiatives but were not named as such. Local newspaper coverage of health issues in the U.S. is largely confined to one and sometimes two of the three domains. Given the many local decisions that are made about land use, environmental health, disaster planning, conservation, and disease prevention and control, this may represent missed opportunities for decision-makers to achieve shared health goals.</p>","PeriodicalId":51027,"journal":{"name":"Ecohealth","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148680998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
