One Health innovations in tropical disease surveillance for a resilient future

Résumé

Tropical infectious diseases continue to impose a significant burden on global health, particularly in low-resource settings where surveillance systems are often underdeveloped. These regions face increasing risks of disease emergence driven by climate change, rapid urban expansion, and intensified interactions between humans, animals, and the environment. This study explores recent innovations in tropical disease surveillance using a One Health approach, emphasizing cross-sector integration to improve early detection and response. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, mobile health platforms, environmental biosensors, and genomic sequencing are increasingly enabling faster and more scalable disease detection. Equally important is the meaningful involvement of local communities, particularly in ecologically sensitive tropical regions, in the development of context-specific surveillance strategies. This study highlights the critical need for interdisciplinary education, real-time data sharing, and policy support to build system-wide resilience. Embedding innovation within a holistic and collaborative One Health framework offers a robust path toward addressing the complexity of tropical diseases and strengthening global preparedness for future pandemics. In an era marked by emerging zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and ecological disruption, the urgency for adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable surveillance systems has never been greater.
