Project Overview

onehealthpact.org is the official website for One Health PACT, an interdisciplinary public health research project jointly run by multiple Dutch universities and research institutions, funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Its core goal is to systematically study how environmental and social changes drive the emergence and spread of mosquito-borne viral infectious diseases, help the Netherlands prepare prevention and control measures for potential future mosquito-borne disease outbreaks, and fix information gaps left by fragmented past research.

Core Structure

The project is divided into four research pillars:

• Pillar A conducts a baseline survey of ecosystems across the Netherlands, integrating field surveys and citizen science data to build a monitoring network covering animals, humans, and mosquito vectors.
• Pillar B develops predictive models to analyze risk thresholds for viral outbreaks under four scenarios including climate change and altered water management.
• Pillar C carries out experimental research on viral infection characteristics and pathogenicity to fill knowledge gaps for risk assessment.
• Pillar D integrates findings from all other pillars, develops monitoring tools, vaccine development directions, and prevention and control intervention plans, and ultimately translates results into real-world public health practice.

Access Experience & Review

The website is directly accessible from China, with clear, public content that fully showcases the research team, partner institutions, project progress, and media coverage. It offers high reference value for practitioners in the public health research field. However, this is only an official website for a research project, it does not provide practical services for the general public, it only supports English, and all research focuses on the Netherlands region, so its reference value for general users in China is limited.

Overall, this is a well-organized, clearly structured non-profit scientific research project platform that is a benchmark in the field of interdisciplinary One Health research, and is suitable for researchers in related fields to reference and connect with.
