Prioritization of zoonotic diseases in Bhutan through a One Health framework.
Article in One health outlook, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundZoonotic diseases pose an increasing threat to human, animal and environmental health, and identifying the zoonoses of greatest public health concern is key to address them effectively. Despite high ongoing risks from zoonotic diseases, Bhutan has never conducted a zoonotic disease prioritization exercise. Therefore, the present study aimed to prioritize the top 10 zoonotic diseases in Bhutan and develop action plans to support targeted resource allocation, coordinated surveillance, and strategic planning through the One Health framework.
methodsThe current study used a literature review of peer-reviewed publications and grey literature, expert knowledge, followed by a workshop to prioritize zoonoses in Bhutan. The workshop was convened in April 2024, and 42 participants from 20 different organizations from human, animal, wildlife, environmental, and food safety sectors participated in the workshop. Zoonotic disease prioritization was conducted using a mixed-method approach that combined an expert consensus approach with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention One Health Zoonotic Disease Prioritization (OHZDP) tool.
resultsThe initial literature review listed 55 zoonotic diseases for prioritization in the country. The workshop prioritized the top 10 zoonotic diseases viz., Rabies; Influenza A H5N1; Leptospirosis; Brucellosis; Escherichia coli infections; Dengue; Scrub Typhus; Bovine tuberculosis; Anthrax; and Salmonellosis. Joint action areas for the top five zoonotic diseases were developed to effectively address each disease through the One Health approach in the country.
conclusionThe prioritized zoonoses in Bhutan should be used for strengthening One Health coordination. Key recommendations from the OHZDP workshop emphasized strengthening disease surveillance, building laboratory diagnostic capacity, enhancing intersectoral collaboration, and developing a harmonized, interoperable system for information sharing and reporting. These measures aim to improve real-time data exchange, facilitate joint outbreak investigations, and support evidence-based decision-making for the prevention and control of zoonotic diseases.
