Abstract excerpt

Introduction. Leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease globally, which is most prevalent in tropical regions. This disease is endemic in Sri Lanka, where the complex ecology of Leptospira spp., reservoir animals and environmental and occupational factors has resulted in a public health problem.Gap Statement. Although genomic analysis of Leptospira isolates has recently revealed the diversity of Leptospira...
