Abstract: With the high development of science and technology across the world today, many classic infectious diseases have not disappeared. Contrarily, there are frequent outbreaks of certain emerging infectious diseases, and the prevalence of many “civilization-related diseases” is gradually increasing. It is gradually recognized that human health is closely related to animals and microorganisms as well as diverse ecology of the earth’s environment. Therefore, scholars have put forward the concept of “One Health”, with an attempt to find an effective way to overcome many infectious diseases including zoonosis from the perspective of human-animal-environment interaction. This paper aims at discussing and analyzing the proposal and connotation of “One Health”, connection between “One Health”and the concept of “Big Health” in China, and the Chinese translation of “One Health”, in order to provide reference for the practice of “One Health”.
