Zoonotic diseases are infections that are transmitted from animals to humans, often through direct contact, food, water, or vectors like mosquitoes.

Climate change can alter the distribution of disease vectors like mosquitoes, increasing the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.

AMR develops when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of medications, making infections harder to treat and posing a significant threat to global health.

The One Health approach integrates human, animal, and environmental health to prevent and control diseases by recognizing their interconnectedness.

Effective prevention includes monitoring and controlling animal reservoirs, promoting hygiene, vaccinating populations, and educating the public on safe practices.
