Abstract
Zoonotic diseases transmitted through air and water present significant public health threats, particularly in regions with dense human-animal-environment interactions. The complexity of these diseases necessitates a holistic and interdisciplinary response. The "One Health" approach integrates human, animal, and environmental health sectors to develop coordinated strategies for monitoring, controlling, and preventing zoonoses. This article explores the rising incidence of air and waterborne zoonotic diseases such as leptospirosis, brucellosis, avian influenza, and Q fever. It discusses the environmental drivers, microbial agents, socio-economic impacts, and epidemiological trends associated with these diseases. Furthermore, the article delves into the strengths of the One Health approach in early detection, risk assessment, and coordinated response systems, emphasizing intersectoral collaboration, data sharing, and community involvement. Implementing One Health principles is critical to breaking the chain of zoonotic transmission and safeguarding global health security
