Introduction and background
In the past decade, much attention has been paid to the One Health concept as a means of comprehensively addressing global health challenges in a complex world. One Health underscores the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health and promotes a multidisciplinary approach to issues such as zoonotic diseases, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), food safety, environmental pollution, and the effects of climate change on health systems [1].
The One Health approach emerged in response to the potential risk to human and animal health posed by an increased circulation of infectious agents, such as the global rise in zoonotic diseases [2]. One Health has been applied in diverse contexts, each with unique challenges and opportunities. For example, in India, the concept is still in its infancy and remains difficult to implement due to the lack of a legal framework, poor coordination among involved agencies, and insufficient surveillance mechanisms for animal diseases. On the other hand, in countries like the Netherlands, One Health has been successfully integrated into public health policy, with strong collaboration between human, animal, and environmental health sectors. The Dutch approach has effectively addressed zoonotic diseases, such as avian influenza, through coordinated surveillance, rapid response systems, and public health interventions [3].
The One Health approach has been adopted at various levels worldwide, evolving into a quadripartite collaboration among the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the WHO, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This alliance, particularly active in the Asia-Pacific region, has been instrumental in advancing interagency coordination on zoonotic diseases and AMR [4]. This approach has also been integrated into policies targeted at tackling AMR in Western Europe by increasing multidisciplinary research into zoonotic diseases [5]. Environmental health often contributes crucially but is very frequently the most overlooked part of the One Health triad. Dash S and Rath A have insisted on addressing environmental factors, which include pollution and ecosystem degradations, that act as carriers for infectious diseases and increase the threat of AMR [6]. One Health strategies need to integrate measures for environmental health if truly sustainable health outcomes are to be achieved.
This wide acceptance and success would be guaranteed by the inclusion of One Health principles not only in veterinary curricula, as recommended by the WOAH, but also across broader educational programs, including those for health professionals such as doctors, veterinarians, public health practitioners, and environmental scientists. Expanding One Health education to medical schools and other health-related fields, as well as incorporating its concepts at earlier educational stages, could further enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and health outcomes. Machalaba C et al. demonstrated that integrating One Health principles into medical education and clinical practice improves the efficient utilization of resources, resulting in better health outcomes at both local and global levels [7]. Moreover, increasing the approach and making it more inclusive and expansive, including diverse knowledge systems such as those of Indigenous peoples, has been identified as a prerequisite to the evolution and success of One Health [8]. The approach provides an integrated framework for responding to global health challenges through multi-sectoral collaboration. However, it must overcome significant hurdles related to resource constraints, lack of awareness, and poor coordination among all stakeholders [9-10]. If environmental health is further integrated into the One Health approach and educational efforts are expanded, then this will lay very firm ground for a global health strategy: that health systems shall be more sustainable and resilient.
Bibliometric analysis is one of the quantitative methods for identifying influences in research and tendencies by examining publication, citation, and collaboration patterns in networks [11-15]. Two important tools for performing tasks associated with this are VOSviewer and Biblioshiny for RStudio [16-17]. VOSviewer excels at generating and visualizing bibliometric networks such as co-authorship and citation networks; it aids researchers in discovering relations and trends within large datasets [18-21]. Biblioshiny is a web-based application of the Bibliometrix package in RStudio, easy to use, and simplifies the analysis of trends in publications and citation patterns without programming skills [22-26]. In combination, these tools allow for the realization of full analysis, intuitively visualized, of scientific literature regarding influential works and emerging research areas.
The objectives of the paper include delving into details of the 'One Health' concept and exploring why the approach represents an integrative solution that links health for humans, animals, and the environmental ecology. This level of challenge is further epitomized in the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex health challenges, zoonotic diseases, food insecurity, and climate change. Furthermore, this paper aims to promote a full-scale bibliometric assessment of 'One Health' research by intellectually mapping the key contributors in the field and its emerging trends. This integrated study maps the intellectual structure of One Health for research on a subject domain that lacks prior mapping, shedding light on the gaps and future directions for researchers and policymakers to address complex health problems spanning the human, animal, and environmental domains.

Discussion
The "One Health" approach, as reflected in the bibliometric analysis, underscores the increasing recognition of the interconnectedness between human, animal, and environmental health. The increase in publication output over recent years shows that globally, there is an increasing awareness of the need for interdisciplinary collaboration on health challenges that transcend traditional boundaries. The thematic evolution underway in "One Health" research, from an infectious disease and antibiotic resistance focus to broader public health concerns and environmental sustainability, demonstrates the dynamic nature of the field. At the same time, some topics' highest dominance, the case of zoonotic diseases and AMR, confirms their ability to remain relevant for the global health agenda. This also shows the strong contribution from countries like the USA, the UK, and Brazil, thus highlighting high international collaboration, which has been considered a very important ingredient in tackling the complexities and global nature of health issues.
Research gaps and future directions
Although there has been considerable growth in 'One Health' research, several significant gaps remain. Beyond zoonotic diseases and AMR, critical areas such as the impact of climate change on emerging diseases and the health of humans, animals, and plants are underexplored. Additionally, the role of behavior and belief systems in shaping environmental health and disease transmission patterns needs further investigation. The influence of production systems on the economic and health outcomes of societies is another area requiring more research attention. Moreover, there is a growing need to develop robust frameworks for evaluating health intervention tools within the scope of the One Health approach. Addressing these gaps will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the interconnected health challenges facing our world.
Practical implications
The findings from this bibliometric analysis have several practical implications for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in the 'One Health' field. Increasing research trends underscore the rationale for continued investments in specific 'One Health' initiatives, particularly those aimed at fostering interdisciplinarity in zoonotic disease control, AMR management, and climate change-related health interventions. Policymakers at national and international levels need to consider integrating "One Health" principles into national and international health strategies in areas like disease surveillance, environmental protection, and biosecurity. For researchers, the analysis highlights the importance of expanding research into underexplored areas like environmental health and the effects of climate change. For practitioners, especially those involved in public health, veterinary medicine, and environmental science, these findings provide insights into how to work toward more holistic conceptualizations of health that actually get to the roots of health problems and not just their symptoms. Further, the global dimension of "One Health" research necessitates international collaboration and sharing of knowledge to decisively deal with health challenges across national borders.
Conclusions
