Mathematical Modeling of Leptospirosis With Misdiagnosis

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic bacterial disease that continues to pose a major public health challenge, particularly in developing countries where it causes substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic losses. A key problem in controlling the disease is misdiagnosis, which delays appropriate treatment and facilitates continued transmission ...

Leptospira in Working Horses From Rural Ecuador: A Neglected Occupational Risk

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Neglected tropical zoonotic diseases such as leptospirosis continue to have a significant impact on animal and human health, especially in low‐income countries due to limitations in surveillance and knowledge gaps to guide mitigation. In this context, equines have the potential to play an important role in the maintenance and transmission of Leptospira

Host‐Driven Genetic Diversity of Leptospira in the Americas: A Continental Perspective

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.
