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.

Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) as a reservoir for Leptospira spp.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Leptospira spp. are re-emerging zoonotic pathogens. Previous research has found that Blanding's turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) experimentally infected with Leptospira interrogans shed leptospires in their urine, suggesting that they could play a role in ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Estimating Environmental Transmission Risk From Host Movement Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We present a comparative modeling framework that integrates host movement, pathogen persistence, and behavior to quantify environmentally mediated transmission. Using wild pig GPS data and SEIR simulations, we show that contact definitions significantly alter transmission dynamics, highlighting the importance of mechanistically defining indirect ...
