Abstract Background Vector-borne parasitic infectious diseases associated with poverty (referred to as vb-pIDP), such malaria, leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis, African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and onchocerciasis, are highly prevalent in many regions around the world. This study aims characterize recent burdens of changes these vb-pIDP globally provide a comprehensive up-to-date analysis geographical temporal trends. Methods Data on prevalence disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were retrieved from Global Burden Disease, Injuries, Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 for 21 204 countries worldwide, 1990–2021. The age-standardized rate DALYs by age, sex, sociodemographic index (SDI) calculated quantify Correlation was performed examine relationship between SDI. Results Over past 30 years, have generally decreased, some fluctuations. distribution is distinctive. Except other highest low-SDI 2021. Malaria had (2336.8 per 100,000 population, 95% UI: 2122.9, 2612.2 population) (806.0 318.9, 1570.2 among six globally. Moreover, significant declines been observed association an increase SDI . Globally, 0.14% related malaria attributed child underweight, 0.08% stunting. Conclusions DALY rates showed pronounced decreasing trends However, burden remains substantial challenge vector-borne disease control requires effective strategies healthcare systems. findings scientific evidence designing targeted health interventions contribute improving prevention diseases.

The One Health (OH) approach, integrating aspects of human, animal, and environmental health, still lacks robustly quantified insights into its complex relationships. To fill this knowledge gap, we devised a comprehensive assessment scheme for OH to assess progress, synergies, trade-offs, priority targets. From 2000 2020, find evidence global progress toward OH, albeit uneven, with average score rising from 61.6 65.5, driven primarily by better human health although lags. Despite synergies prevalent within between the three dimensions, over half world's countries, mainly low-income ones, incur substantial trade-offs impeding OH's advancement, especially animal health. Our in-depth analysis synergy trade-off networks reveals that maternal, newborn, child are critical synergistic targets, whereas biodiversity land resources dominate trade-offs. We provide key information synergetic uniform development policymaking.
