    الوصف: Background: After the transition from socialism to a market economy in 1990, human brucellosis re-emerged in Mongolia. The aim of our study was to estimate a representative seroprevalence of Brucella spp. and to determine risk factors for brucellosis seropositivity among rural people. Methods: A cross-sectional study with multistage random selection was conducted in eight provinces of Mongolia. Study participants were interviewed using a questionnaire to obtain their brucellosis history, current symptoms and likely risk factors. Blood samples were drawn to determine brucellosis seroprevalence. Results: A total of 2856 randomly selected rural people aged four to 90 years were enrolled in the study. The seroprevalence of Brucella spp. was 11.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 10.0–12.1), ranging between 2.3% and 22.6% in the eight provinces; 39.2% (n = 609) of nomadic camps had at least one seropositive participant. Risk factors associated with brucellosis seropositivity were being older than 45 years (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 6.9, 95% CI = 5.1–8.7) and being a veterinarian (AOR = 2.8, 95% CI = 1.5–5.0). Conclusion: Our study confirms that human brucellosis seroprevalence among rural people in Mongolia is high. Human brucellosis can be effectively controlled if high-coverage livestock mass vaccination is implemented with a coverage survey after the vaccinations to ensure completeness. This mass vaccination should be accompanied by public awareness and educational programmes.

    الوصف: The One Health approach recognizes that the interconnectedness of human, animal and environmental health, emphasizing collaboration sectors, disciplines and communities to address threats and foster overall well-being. Particularly relevant in Africa due to its diverse climates, weak health systems and the interactions between humans and wildlife, the approach aims to ensure sustainable and better health outcomes. Over the past decade, the One Health approach has been operationalized at different levels and regions of Africa. However, what is currently missing is an overview of factors facilitating or inhibiting operationalization as well as the existing evidence base including which areas have been researched, in which countries, for which specific factors or levels, and where major gaps in knowledge remain. To bridge this gap, a systematic mapping will be conducted by compiling existing evidence of One Health operationalization in Africa. We will conduct a comprehensive search of literature from ... : الملخص يقر نهج الصحة الواحدة بأن الترابط بين صحة الإنسان والحيوان والبيئة، مع التركيز على قطاعات التعاون والتخصصات والمجتمعات للتصدي للتهديدات وتعزيز الرفاه العام. ويهدف هذا النهج، الذي يتسم بأهمية خاصة في أفريقيا بسبب مناخها المتنوع ونظمها الصحية الضعيفة والتفاعلات بين البشر والحياة البرية، إلى ضمان نتائج صحية مستدامة وأفضل. على مدى العقد الماضي، تم تفعيل نهج الصحة الواحدة على مستويات ومناطق مختلفة من أفريقيا. ومع ذلك، فإن ما ينقص حاليًا هو نظرة عامة على العوامل التي تسهل أو تمنع التفعيل بالإضافة إلى قاعدة الأدلة الحالية بما في ذلك المجالات التي تم البحث فيها، والبلدان التي توجد فيها عوامل أو مستويات محددة، وحيث لا تزال هناك فجوات كبيرة في المعرفة. لسد هذه الفجوة، سيتم إجراء مسح منهجي من خلال تجميع الأدلة الموجودة على تفعيل One Health في أفريقيا. سنجري بحثًا شاملاً عن الأدبيات من قواعد البيانات الببليوغرافية والمواقع الإلكترونية التنظيمية وباحث جوجل. في مرحلة العنوان والملخص، سيتم فحص المقالات للتأكد من أهليتها مقابل معايير محددة مسبقًا. سنقوم بفحص مجموعة فرعية واحدة أو أكثر من السجلات ذات الصلة واستخدامها ...
