The Journal of Tropical One Health (JTOH) serves as a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health in the tropical region. The tropical world continues to face intersecting health threats, including zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, antimicrobial resistance, and climate and environmental health threats. These challenges, compounded by gaps in surveillance, vaccines, therapeutics, and food security, highlight the critical need for One Health approaches that integrate human, animal, and environmental health systems. By publishing high-quality research, reviews, case reports, short communications, and perspectives, JTOH aims to bridge knowledge gaps and support informed decision-making for sustainable One Health solutions in the tropics. With this inaugural issue, we invite the global One Health community to contribute their expertise and innovations to advance integrated approaches that improve health, equity, and resilience across tropical ecosystems.
