Operationalizing regional One Health initiatives in Southeast Asia: Ways forward

4/28/2025 2:25:48 PM

Operationalizing One Health initiatives that link human, animal, and environmental health at the regional level is key for jointly addressing infectious diseases that can cross borders. This work is urgently needed in Southeast Asia, a recognized hotspot for emerging animal and human infectious diseases that have the potential to spread globally. As such, our objective is to identify action items to advance regional One Health efforts in Southeast Asia. We organized a 1.5-day workshop that convened 34 experts from government, national research institutes, universities, and international organizations spanning seven countries in Southeast Asia. Group discussions and prioritization exercises were conducted which led to 12 action items, serving as ideas for resourcing, operationalizing, and implementing One Health efforts in Southeast Asia. Participants also emphasized the importance of sustained funding, a collective voice, and a willingness among members to be bold in their collective efforts. Given the heightened focus on zoonotic risks in Southeast Asia, harnessing this momentum by operationalizing regional efforts could establish a solid foundation to draw on when facing future global health threats.

Effectiveness of a School-Based Health Education Intervention on Soil-Transmitted Helminth Prevention Among Primary School Pupils in Lao PDR

3/17/2025 9:50:33 AM

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are among the most common parasitic infections worldwide but remain underappreciated in certain regions, including Laos PDR. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a 1-year health education intervention on improving knowledge and practices related to STH prevention among grades 4 and 5 primary school pupils in Xay District, Udomxay Province, Laos in 2023

Challenges and opportunities for AMR research in the ASEAN following the One Health approach

3/5/2025 9:20:32 AM

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has emerged as a significant global challenge and Southeast Asia with rapid economic and population growth faces substantial challenge in dealing with emerging infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance. Here we present the recommendations of a workshop that explored the challenges and opportunities for One Health approach towards AMR research in three countries of AEAN, namely, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

An overview of human helminthioses in Vietnam: Their prevention, control and lessons learnt

11/12/2022 9:22:54 AM

In Vietnam, helminthioses remain a major threat to public health and contribute to the maintenance of poverty in highly endemic regions. Through increased awareness of the damaging effects caused by helminthioses, the Vietnamese government has implemented many national programs over the past 30 years for the prevention and control of the most important helminthioses, such as, lymphatic filariasis, soil transmitted helminths, food borne zoonotic helminths, and others. Various control strategies have been applied to reduce or eliminate these worms, e.g. mass drug administration, economic development, control of vectors or intermediate hosts, public health interventions through education, proper composting procedures for excreta potentially containing helminth eggs, and the expansion of food supply chains and improved technologies for the production and inspection of food products. These control measures have resulted in a significant reduction in the distribution and transmission of helminth infections and have improved the overall living conditions and health outcomes of the Vietnamese citizens. However, the persistence of several helminth diseases continues in some endemic areas, especially where poverty is widespread and local traditions include the consumption of raw foods, especially fish and meats. This manuscript provides an overview of the helminth infection prevention and control programs conducted in Vietnam, their achieved results, learned lessons, and future works.
