A One Health Approach to Investigating Leptospira Serogroups and Their Spatial Distributions among Humans and Animals in...
Paraiba ecoregion, and 81% of the animal cases in the Savannah ecoregion. Identifying and mapping the serogroups circulating using the One Health approach is the first step for further understanding the distribution of the disease in the state. This study has the potential to aid in guiding public health and agricultural practices, furthering the n...
Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Health Beliefs toward Leptospirosis among Urban and Rural Communities in Northeaster...
...
however, this attitude cannot be transformed into practice as the number of people with satisfactory practice habits is much lower compared to those with positive attitudes. As for the belief domain, the communities must have positive beliefs to perceive the threat of the disease. Conclusions: Our current health program on preventing leptospirosis ...
Caracterização do microtranscriptoma de macrófagos infectados por cepas saprófita, atenuada ou virulenta de Leptospira s...
Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis of global importance, caused by Leptospira. The incidence of disease leading to one million severe cases and 60,000 deaths per year. Despite considerable advances in research, much is yet to be discovered about disease pathogenicity. The influence of epigenetic mechanisms, particularly RNA-mediated post-transcr...
Climate Change and Water-Related Infectious Diseases
Background: Water-related, including waterborne, diseases remain important sources of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but particularly in developing countries. The potential for changes in disease associated with predicted anthropogenic climate changes make water-related diseases a target for prevention. Methods: We provide an overview of eviden...
Leptospirosis as Cause of Febrile Icteric Illness, Burkina Faso
...
Patients in Burkina Faso who sought medical attention for febrile jaundice were tested for leptospirosis. We confirmed leptospirosis in 27 (3.46%) of 781 patients: 23 (2.94%) tested positive using serologic assays and 4 (0.51%) using LipL32 PCR. We further presumed leptospirosis in 16 (2.82%) IgM-positive specimens.
