# One Health Climate Surveillance in Sub-Saharan Africa

## Abstract

Synthetic dataset modelling zoonotic disease emergence, One Health surveillance, and climate-driven spillover risk across three ecological scenarios in SSA. Climate change, deforestation, and land-use change are major drivers of zoonotic spillover. 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, and Africa bears a disproportionate burden.

### Scenarios

- **Zoonotic Hotspot Forest**: Congo Basin / West African forest-edge communities with high wildlife contact.
- **Pastoral Livestock Interface**: East African pastoralist zones with dense livestock-wildlife overlap.
- **Urban Peri-Urban Market**: Cities with live animal markets and informal food chains.

## Parameterization Evidence

| Parameter | Value | Source | Year |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 75% of EIDs are zoonotic | Spillover burden | Jones et al., Nature | 2008 |
| Deforestation increases spillover risk 2-5x | Land-use driver | Allen et al., Nature | 2017 |
| RVF linked to flooding/El Niño in East Africa | Climate-disease nexus | Anyamba et al. | 2019 |
| One Health platforms in <25% of African countries | Surveillance gap | WHO JEE | 2022 |
