Effects of Culling onLeptospira interrogansCarriage by Rats [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
We found that lethal, urban rat control is associated with a significant increase in the odds that surviving rats carry Leptospira interrogans. Our results suggest that human interventions have the potential to affect and even increase the prevalence of zoonotic pathogens within rat populations.

Genome sequence of the saprophyte Leptospira biflexa provides insights into the evolution of Leptospira and the pathogenesis of leptospirosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
Leptospira biflexa is a free-living saprophytic spirochete present in aquatic environments. We determined the genome sequence of L. biflexa, making it the first saprophytic Leptospira to be sequenced. The L.

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 ...

Beyond the Battlefield: Examining Acute Kidney Injury in Yemen's Humanitarian Crisis

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) represents a growing yet under‐recognized public health threat in Yemen, where ongoing conflict has exacerbated vulnerabilities to infectious diseases and waterborne illnesses. Sepsis and severe volume depletion—secondary to diarrheal diseases such as cholera—are leading contributors to AKI incidence ...
