Background Despite the increasing focus on strengthening One Health capacity building on global level, challenges remain in devising and implementing real-world interventions particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Recognizing these gaps, the One Health Action Commission (OHAC) was established as an academic community for One Health action with an emphasis on research agenda setting to identify actions for highest *** text This viewpoint describes the agenda of, and motivation for, the recently formed OHAC. Recognizing the urgent need for evidence to support the formulation of necessary action plans, OHAC advocates the adoption of both bottom-up and top-down approaches to identify the current gaps in combating zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, addressing food safety, and to enhance capacity building for context-sensitive One Health *** By promoting broader engagement and connection of multidisciplinary stakeholders, OHAC envisions a collaborative global platform for the generation of innovative One Health knowledge, distilled practical experience and actionable policy advice, guided by strong ethical principles of One Health.

<正>Thelazia callipaeda (Spirurida, Thelaziidae) eyeworm infects dogs, cats, foxes, rabbits, and humans. T. callipaeda lives in the eyes, under the nictitating membrane, where female nematodes release first stage larvae which are ingested via lachrymal secretion by intermediate hosts (fruit fly Amiota Okadai) feeding on the ocular discharge of animals. Human thelaziosis (HT) is diffused in poor socio-economic settings in many Asian countries, mostly in China, and it is characterized by a range of subclinical to clinical symptoms (such as epiphora, conjunctivitis, keratitis, excessive lacrimation, corneal opacity and ulcers). Knowledge on HT are fragmentary and mainly limited to clinical case reports. About 246 human cases of thelaziosis have been described in 21 provinces till 1990 and 355 cases have been reported till 2003 in Shandong, Hubei, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Henan provinces . Recently, another 15 new cases were reported from middle China, so the total number of human thelaziosis reached up to 370 in China. The present work reviews all the reports of HT in far eastern countries, comprised new recent cases, and provides insights into the life cycle of T. callipaeda in the definitive hosts and vectors along with its diagnosis and control.
