While whole genome sequencing (WGS) has revealed global genetic diversity of Leptospira spp., large-scale genomic comparisons between human and animal isolates remain limited, and their epidemiological relationships are not fully understood. In this study, we performed WGS on 204 Leptospira isolates...
