Artificial Irrigation Impacts the Seasonal Occurrence of Pathogenic Leptospira in Its Wild Reservoirs in a Mediterranean Environment. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Background Human activities play a significant role in the emergence of infectious diseases. We aimed to test whether artificial irrigation affects the occurrence of a zoonotic bacteria sensitive to desiccation, pathogenic Leptospira species (pathoLep), in micromammals inhabiting Mediterranean ecosystems.

Bayesian Estimation of True Prevalence and Associated Risk Factors for Leptospira spp. Among Slaughterhouse Workers and Slaughtered Cattle in the Bahr El Ghazal Region of South Sudan. [PDF]

Zoonoses Public Health
ABSTRACT Introduction Leptospirosis is a major but under‐reported zoonotic disease, and epidemiological data from South Sudan remain limited. This study estimated the true prevalence of Leptospira spp. exposure and identified associated risk factors among slaughterhouse workers and slaughtered cattle in Western Bahr El Ghazal. Methods A cross‐sectional

Macrophages and Galectin 3 Control Bacterial Burden in Acute and Subacute Murine Leptospirosis That Determines Chronic Kidney Fibrosis [PDF]

, 2018
Previous studies have suggested that macrophages may contribute to acute Leptospira dissemination, as well as having a major role in kidney fibrosis. Our aim was to characterize the role of macrophages and galectin 3 (Gal-3) on the survival, clinical ...

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Risk factors for human acute leptospirosis in northern Tanzania [PDF]

, 2018
Introduction: Leptospirosis is a major cause of febrile illness in Africa but little is known about risk factors for human infection. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate risk factors for acute leptospirosis and Leptospira ...

Comparison of the estimated incidence of acute leptospirosis in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania between 2007-08 and 2012-14 [PDF]

, 2016
Background: The sole report of annual leptospirosis incidence in continental Africa of 75–102 cases per 100,000 population is from a study performed in August 2007 through September 2008 in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. To evaluate the stability
