Abstract

Zoonotic diseases are infections that are transmitted from animals to humans, posing a significant threat to global health. These diseases account for a substantial portion of emerging infectious diseases and represent a complex intersection of human and animal health. This article explores the relationship between zoonotic diseases, their transmission, and the role of public health systems in addressing these challenges. It also emphasizes the importance of One Health, an integrated approach that connects human, animal, and environmental health sectors to control and prevent zoonotic outbreaks. Pakistan, with its diverse ecosystems and rich animal biodiversity, is a hotspot for zoonotic diseases. Effective strategies are needed to bridge human and animal health to prevent and mitigate these diseases' impacts
