What does this research mean for the field?

Despite the adoption of comprehensive One Health policy frameworks in Nigeria, significant implementation gaps persist in community-level zoonotic disease surveillance due to weak intersectoral coordination, inadequate community engagement, and fragmented data systems. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.SYNTHESIS. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To evaluate community-based zoonotic disease surveillance, One Health collaboration, systems leadership, and implementation gaps in Nigeria.

Overview

Scoping review uncovers fragmented intersectoral coordination in community zoonotic disease surveillance, highlighting persistent barriers to integrated local detection.

Key Points

To evaluate community-based zoonotic disease surveillance, One Health collaboration, systems leadership, and implementation gaps in Nigeria.
Conducted a scoping review guided by Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework and a systems leadership approach.
Searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and institutional databases (NCDC, WHO Afro, FAO) for literature published between 2000 and 2026.
Included 26 documents (14 peer-reviewed articles, 8 policy documents, and 4 technical reports) for data extraction on surveillance characteristics, gaps, and epidemiological indicators.
Recorded surveillance burdens included 922 confirmed Lassa fever cases with 221 deaths (case fatality rate of 24.0%) across 23 states, and 1,000 to 2,000 annual rabies deaths disproportionately impacting children under 15.
Identified low veterinary sector participation, with only 3.6% of veterinarians demonstrating good Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response practice.
Revealed critical gaps involving fragmented intersectoral coordination at local government levels, non-interoperable data systems, and silent mpox transmission.
