Abstract Islands play a central role in understanding the ecological and evolutionary processes that shape life but are rarely used to untangle human, animal, environmental health. Islands, with their discrete human animal populations, often well-studied networks, serve as ideal natural laboratories for exploring complex relationships health across biomes. Relatively long coastlines and, some cases, low lying topography also make islands sentinels climate change. In this article, we examine potential of valuable research locations One Health nexus. By delving into challenges faced island settings, provide insights researchers policymakers aiming globally promote apply principles. Ultimately, recognizing interconnected humans, animals, environment on contributes efforts aimed at promoting global sustainability.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are hot spots for the acquisition and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This regional-based study quantified antibiotic genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), bacteria in hospital community-derived wastewater receiving environments, using high-throughput qPCR (HT-qPCR). is first to apply Resistomap's Antibiotic Resistance Gene Index (ARGI) as a standardised metric find overall AMR level across different WWTPs. ARGI WWTPs ranged from 2.0 2.3, indicating higher relative ARG levels than mean European 2.0, but lower global 2.4. The highest diversity abundance ARGs were observed untreated community wastewater. reduction total during (0.2- 2 logs) (0.3-1.5 varied spatio-temporally Despite decrease bacterial treated effluents, substantial loads still released into environments. Notably, coastal sediments comparable those wastewater, most shared between highlighting impact discharge on these ecosystems. Sewage outfall exposure increased shellfish, emphasising risks shellfish hygiene. provides evidence inform policymaking, advanced methods combined sewer overflow (CSO) management mitigate release, protecting water users food chain.
