Abstract

Zoonotic diseases, infections that can be transmitted between animals and humans, represent a growing public 
health concern worldwide. The rise in global travel, climate change, and human encroachment on wildlife habitats 
have led to increased interactions between humans, animals, and the environment, thereby facilitating the spread of 
these diseases. This paper explores the various factors contributing to the emergence and transmission of zoonotic 
diseases, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. The role of biodiversity, 
deforestation, and agricultural practices in facilitating disease spillover is discussed, as well as the importance of a 
One Health approach in controlling and preventing zoonotic outbreaks. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and 
enhanced surveillance systems, society can mitigate the risks posed by zoonotic diseases and protect both human 
and animal health.
