Abstract/Summary

Although One Health and biosecurity both aim to protect the health of people, animals, and ecosystems from biological hazards, the two fields remain heavily siloed across distinct policy and research domains. One Health has yet to fully integrate environmental perspectives, especially biological invasions, into its workplan, whereas biosecurity lacks an effective inclusion of the social and health sciences, further hindering collaboration. One Biosecurity offers a vital interdisciplinary framework that bridges human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health sectors, fostering a stronger connection between biosecurity and One Health. This comprehensive approach spans the entire biosecurity continuum, from pre-border intelligence scans to border inspections and post-border incursion management, enabling more effective responses to the threats posed by biological invasions. By unifying these efforts, One Biosecurity will engage a broader group of multilateral organizations, bring together diverse stakeholders, and implement balanced strategies that better safeguard human health, agriculture production systems, and the natural environment.
