Zoonosis from “One Health”: Ethical Reflections on its Relevance
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Throughout Humankind history, has had to face several zoonotic diseases, which make them one of the most persistent health concern for societies, health systems and, specifically, people's lives. Due the scientific, technological and research advances, it is now known that around 60% of the emerging infectious diseases reported in the world come from animals, both wild and domestic, and an increase in the last decades have been observed have been detected. From 30 new human pathogens, 75% have their origin in animals, hence the growing interest in these diseases globally. In the response to emerging and non-emerging zoonotic diseases, it is necessary to adopt a multidisciplinary and integrated approach; which demands the adoption of the “One Health” approach that recognizes the interdependence between human, animal and environmental health. The constraint of used the term approach has stated ethical content as it comprises a process of assessment and provides the reasons to evaluate why human activities and their effects on ecosystems are good or bad, fair or unfair; since the decisions made by people and institutions create conditions conducive to the appearance and spread of such diseases. Through an approach, given the breadth of the topic to be discussed, We aimed to reflect on the ethical reasons that underpin the relevance of the “One Health” approach to zoonotic diseases.
