Pathogenic Leptospira Infections in Hubei Province, Central China

Microorganisms, 2022
Leptospirosis is an important zoonosis that is caused by pathogenic Leptospira, which is considered to be a re-emerging infectious disease in many countries. Rodents are the most important reservoirs for both human and animal infection.

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 ...

The oxidative stress response of pathogenic Leptospira is controlled by two peroxide stress regulators which putatively cooperate in controlling virulence.

PLoS Pathogens, 2021
Pathogenic Leptospira are the causative agents of leptospirosis, the most widespread zoonotic infectious disease. Leptospirosis is a potentially severe and life-threatening emerging disease with highest burden in sub-tropical areas and impoverished ...

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 ...

Lateral-Flow Assay for Rapid Serodiagnosis of Human Leptospirosis [PDF]

, 2001
An assay device for the rapid detection of Leptospira-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human sera is presented. The sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (93.6%) of the assay compared well (91.9% agreement) with those of an IgM enzyme-linked ...

First Reported Case of Fulminant Weil's Disease in South Khorasan, Eastern Iran: Diagnostic Challenges in a Non‐Endemic Region and Implications for Military Deployment

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Weil's disease should be considered even in non‐endemic regions when compatible clinical findings are accompanied by relevant exposure history. This case is epidemiologically notable as the first documented report from South Khorasan Province, highlighting the diagnostic challenges of leptospirosis in non‐endemic settings and the potential ...
