- Summary:
- This edited volume provides a comprehensive exploration of sustainable, integrated, and innovative approaches to the prevention, monitoring, and management of emerging tropical diseases. With a particular emphasis on building resilient and equitable health systems in the Global South, it critically examines how health, environment, and social systems intersect in addressing infectious disease challenges. The book highlights the policy, institutional, and technological frameworks necessary for both national and international stakeholders to advance sustainable health solutions while confronting barriers in diagnostics, treatment, vaccination, and community-based disease management. A central theme of the volume is the application of One Health and EcoHealth frameworks as transformative tools for integrating human, animal, and environmental health considerations. Through these lenses, the book delves into strategies for strengthening disease surveillance systems, improving public health infrastructure, enhancing environmental sustainability, and promoting livelihood security. Case studies and evidence-driven analyses illustrate how innovative, participatory, and inclusive approaches can reshape public health interventions to ensure long-term resilience and equity. Bringing together a diverse team of global experts and practitioners, this book serves as a vital reference for public health professionals, environmental scientists, healthcare practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and students. It aims to inspire action-oriented research, informed policy decisions, and community engagement toward achieving sustainable health outcomes across different regions, especially those disproportionately affected by tropical diseases.
