Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold><italic> Rattus</italic> spp. are frequently implicated as key reservoir hosts for leptospirosis, one of the most common, but neglected, bacterial zoonoses in the world. Although leptospirosis is predicted to be a significant public health threat in Africa, studies from the continent are limited. <bold>Methods:</bold> <italic>Rattus</italic> spp. (<italic>n</ital...
