Approximately 75% of new emerging and re-emerging disease pathogens are zoonotic: 60% spread from domestic and wild animals, and 80% are of concern regarding bioterrorism. For the past 20 years, the world has faced several zoonotic disease outbreaks. Some zoonoses can cause recurring outbreaks, such as Ebola virus disease, salmonellosis, Marburg disease, rabies and anthrax. Still others, such as the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19, have the potential to cause worldwide pandemics. The high risk of emerging and reemerging disease spillover and burden has been increased by extensive interactions among animals, humans and ecosystems. Hence, this complex health threat strongly requires a multi-sectoral collaboration known as the One Health approach. This article discusses recent scientific policies, initiatives, best practices, systems and challenges in One Health. The critical rapid review method was used, with a particular emphasis on available and recent global information. Literature found in Google Scholar and PubMed, and data publicly available on the websites of major global, regional and national organizations were included.

Moreover, HIV-TB coinfection leads to difficulties in diagnosis.

However, these methods cannot diagnose TB in an accurate and timely manner, thus increasing the rates of HIV-associated morbidity and mortality in patients with TB. Hence, a considerable need exists for better diagnostic tools for patients with HIV-TB coinfection. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a novel detection platform widely used to assess infectious disease, antimicrobial resistance, the microbiome and human host gene expression. Herein, we summarize the advantages of mNGS for infectious disease diagnostics. We then assess the efficiency of mNGS in the detection of M. tuberculosis in different specimens and several cases of HIV-TB coinfection.
