Abstract
This study assesses the effectiveness of the One Health System in preventing Streptococcus suis infections in Health Zone 2. Utilizing an exploratory sequential mixed-method approach, the research integrates in-depth interviews with affected individuals and specialists with a survey of 375 disease control practitioners. Analysis revealed a comprehensive set of factors critical to infection prevention, broadly categorized under human, swine, and environmental domains. Significant human-related factors include hygiene practices among swine workers and the influence of behaviors and personal beliefs on disease risk. In the swine domain, management practices before slaughter and during raising significantly impact safety measures against Streptococcus suis. Environmental factors such as sanitation and local regulations also play crucial roles in disease prevention. These findings suggest that targeted improvements across these domains can considerably enhance prevention strategies. The study underscores the need for a dynamic, adaptable prevention model and proposes longitudinal research to further investigate these strategies across more diverse geographic areas.
