BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis (caused by Leptospira, a bacterium) and hantavirus disease (caused by hantavirus, a virus) are important zoonoses with rodents as main reservoirs. In this study, we investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of Leptospira and hantavirus in rodents from rural Lanxi City, Zhejiang Province. Rodents showed a higher Leptospira carriage rate than the national average. All hantavirus...
