Biomechanical and biochemical investigation of erythrocytes in late stage human leptospirosis [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira, which can cause lipid changes in the erythrocyte membrane. Optical tweezers were used to characterize rheological changes in erythrocytes from patients with leptospirosis in ...

Putting Rodents at the Center of One Health Programs: A Narrative Synthesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Rodents link human, animal, and environmental health across diverse ecosystems. Rodent diversity underpins both zoonotic disease risk and ecosystem function. Environmental change reshapes rodent communities and spillover dynamics. Rodents act as reservoirs, amplifiers, and sentinels of emerging pathogens.

Drivers of Host–Pathogen Community Assemblages in European Forests and Urban Green Spaces

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite advances in understanding infectious diseases, the persistence and re‐emergence of wildlife pathogens continue to raise public and veterinary health concerns. This study investigates the relationship between biodiversity and rodent‐borne diseases in Europe, focusing on habitat alterations and their impact on rodent diversity.

Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

Leptospira infection complicated by demyelinating disease: A case report

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, found worldwide, that is caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. People can be infected with Leptospira if they come in direct contact with the urine of an infected animal.

Epidemiology of reported cases of leptospirosis in the EU/EEA, 2010 to 2021

Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin
Background Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by bacteria of the genus Leptospira. Humans are infected by exposure to animal urine or urine-contaminated environments.

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

USING GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATING THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SOCIOENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AND THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF LEPTOSPIROSIS IN SAO PAULO, BRAZIL

European Journal of Geography, 2019
Leptospirosis is a disease that is caused by the Leptospira bacteria. Transmission occurs via contact with water and mud that has been contaminated by the rodent’s urine. High incidence rates occur during wet seasons. The aim of this research was to use

Eco‐Epidemiological Study of Seropositivity Against Rickettsia and Leptospira Agents in Rural Areas of Urabá, Colombia

Tropical Medicine &International Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Rickettsioses and leptospirosis are infectious diseases often underdiagnosed due to limited knowledge about their epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical aspects. Objectives To characterize the seroprevalence and seroincidence of Rickettsia and Leptospira agents and determine their associated factors in rural areas of Urabá ...
