infection transmissionLeptospira propagate via urine shedding by carrier animals with chronic renal infestation, particularly rodents. The growing trend of exotic pet ownership may increase the incidence of leptospirosis and lead to a new mode of trans...
In this chapter, we aim to elaborately discuss the distribution/epidemiology, etiology, hosts, mode of transmission, disease process, changeover of the traditional clinical symptoms into the current one, economic importance, modern diagnostic techniques, treatment protocol, antibacterial resistance, ...
there probably is a short window of time when the horse may be shedding organisms in urine. It would be a minor mode of transmission, however, compared with getting the disease from wildlife on the premises. There is a theoretical possibility of transmission ...

Aerosol inhalation of droplet nuclei is a less common mode of entry. Leptospirosis can be an occupational disease (eg, of farmers or sewer and abattoir workers), but in the US, most patients are exposed incidentally during recreational activities (eg, swimming in contaminated fresh water). ...
While some provinces and cities in southern China have made progress in eliminating or interrupting the transmission of Schistosoma haematobium due to improved living conditions, the risk factors that can trigger schistosomiasis outbreaks still persist [11]. Another prevalent zoonotic disease in China is...
Pathogenic leptospires are the bacterial agents of leptospirosis, which is an emerging zoonotic disease that affects both animals and humans worldwide. In this Review, the recent advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, taxonomy, genomics and t
Our findings indicate that Leptospira infection occurs even in years of low rainfall, and may have an important impact among poor rural-based subsistence farmers in Brazil. Additional studies are needed to characterize the mode of transmission in this region....
The risk of infection can be minimized by creating awareness on the source and mode of transmission of the disease, including the use of protective clothing and avoiding swimming in contaminated waters. Moreover, improved diagnostics can also help reduce the suffering and mortalities that follow ...
