Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis is a highly endemic bacterial zoonosis in French Polynesia (FP). Nevertheless, data on the epidemiology of leptospirosis in FP are scarce. We conducted molecular studies on Leptospira isolated from humans and the potential main animal reservoirs in order to identify the most likely sources for human infection. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Wild rats (n = 113), farm pigs (n = 181) and...
