Divergent lineages of pathogenic Leptospira species are widespread and persisting in the environment in Puerto Rico, USA

2021-11-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Leptospirosis, caused by Leptospira bacteria, is a common zoonosis worldwide more prevalent in the tropics. Reservoir species and risk factors have been identified but surveys for environmental sources of leptospirosis are rare. Furthermore, understanding of environmental Leptospira containing pathogenic genes and possibly capable of causing disease is incomplete and could result in some pathog...
