Existing surveillance approaches are often reactive, fragmented, and dependent on manual analysis, limiting timely public health responses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study presents TransmiRisk-AI, an agentic AI-driven surveillance framework designed to support automated zoonotic disease risk monitoring and decision-making. The framework integrates a hybrid risk scoring model with a multi-agent architecture comprising data ingestion, risk assessment, alert generation, execution, logging, and orchestration agents. These agents collaboratively automate data collection, preprocessing, risk evaluation, outbreak monitoring, and alert dissemination. To enhance situational awareness, the system incorporates outbreak intelligence from WHO Disease Outbreak News and dynamically updates disease risk profiles based on outbreak recency, frequency, and severity. An interactive Streamlit dashboard provides transparent visualization of risk categories, outbreak trends, and system activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Case studies involving the Nipah virus and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever demonstrate the framework's ability to adapt to evolving epidemiological conditions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TransmiRisk-AI offers a scalable and interpretable digital health solution that supports proactive surveillance and timely decision-making within a One Health context.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fdgth.2026.1915858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T06:06:22Z","timestamp":1790748382000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["TransmiRisk-AI: an agentic AI-based risk assessment framework for zoonotic diseases using integrated surveillance data"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Ramya","family":"Jeyachandran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology","place":["Chennai, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rama Parvathy","family":"Lakshmanan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology","place":["Chennai, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1079\/cabionehealth.2023.0012","article-title":"A one health look into the emergence of zoonotic viruses at the human-animal-environment interface","volume":"2","author":"Mohamed","year":"2023","journal-title":"CABI One Health"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1141483","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1141483","article-title":"Emerging and re-emerging zoonotic viral diseases in Southeast Asia: one health challenge","volume":"11","author":"Saba Villarroel","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front.
