Abstract
Emerging and re-emerging air and waterborne diseases continue to challenge global public health systems, especially in the context of climate change, urbanization, and globalization. The resurgence of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, Legionnaires’ disease, and tuberculosis, alongside new pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 and novel strains of nor virus, signifies the urgency of robust disease surveillance and response frameworks. These pathogens often exploit environmental vulnerabilities and infrastructural gaps in water sanitation and air quality. This article explores the key factors contributing to the emergence and re-emergence of these infectious diseases, evaluates current global and regional surveillance systems, and presents evidence-based response strategies. Emphasis is placed on integrating early warning systems, improving intersectoral collaboration, and strengthening laboratory diagnostic capacities. Innovative approaches such as One Health and digital surveillance are also discussed to provide a comprehensive strategy for managing the threats posed by air and waterborne diseases.
