Abstract：Nearly 75% of the emerging and recurrent infectious diseases detected in the last decade are caused by zoonosis, and most of these infective agents have the ability to cross boundaries between humans and animals. Foodborne zoonosis can cause many serious food safety problems. As global communication becomes more and more frequent, infection spread becomes faster in speed and wider in scope. It is difficult to prevent and control zoonosis effectively by using traditional and single strategy. The One Health concept is based on joint efforts of multiple subjects, departments and regions to achieve a best situation for humans, animals, and the environment. This strategy will bring new ideas to the control of infectious diseases, and has been successfully applied in some countries and regions. Taking an international perspective, the authors will explain the One Health concept and enumerate some application examples briefly in this review.
