Development of One Health-based community surveillance system to study zoonotic diseases: a study protocol.

ABSTRACT: Animals are responsible for a substantial burden of infectious diseases and pose a serious threat to human health, particularly in peri-urban areas where human-animal-environment interfaces are intensified due to rapid urban expansion. This protocol aims to develop a One Health-based community surveillance system to assess the prevalence, transmission dynamics and risk factors associated with brucellosis, leptospirosis and scrub typhus in a peri-urban setting in Odisha, India. We will conduct a prospective mixed-methods cohort study over 3 years in two peri-urban blocks of Khordha district. About 1,293 households and approximately 1,200 animals will be enrolled. Data on disease prevalence, environmental risk factors, and health behaviours will be collected through structured household surv
