Host population structure and rare dispersal events drive leptospirosis transmission patterns among <i>Rattus norvegicus</i> in Boston, Massachusetts, US

2024-06-12

Abstract excerpt

Leptospirosis (caused by pathogenic bacteria in the genus Leptospira ) is prevalent worldwide but more common in tropical and subtropical regions. Transmission can occur following direct exposure to infected urine from reservoir hosts, such as rats, or a urine-contaminated environment, which then can serve as an infection source for additional rats and other mammals, including humans. The brown rat, Rattus norve...
