Background Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution. Case presentation We describe and discuss the clinical course of a leptospirosis outbreak in a running club called the hash house harriers on Guam. Conclusions Leptospirosis is a potentialy life threatening disease, and has had a reemergence given the popularity of travel adventure sports, teams, and clubs...

Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal zoonotic infection and often neglected due to lack of knowledge. As an occupational disease, it has become global concern its disease burden in endemic countries rural areas. The objective the study was assess effectiveness educational intervention for knowledge on minimizing delays seeking treatment leptospirosis among farmers Monaragala District, Sri Lanka...

Leptospirosis is recognized as an important zoonosis in tropical regions well as an important animal disease with substantial loss in production. In this study, the model for the transmission of the Leptospirosis disease to human population are discussed. Model is described the vector population dynamics and the Leptospirosis transmission to the human population are discussed. Local analysis of...

Dr. Katharine Lunn: Over the last 10 years, the typical leptospirosis case that we have seen at the University of Wisconsin is a dog in acute renal failure. Case reports from Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin all suggest the same: Acute renal failure is now the most commonly reported presentation of canine leptospirosis. These reports document that the clinic...

Leptospirosis is an important cause of seasonal outbreaks in New Caledonia and the tropics. Using time series derived from high-quality laboratory-based surveillance from 2000-2012, we evaluated whether climatic factors, including El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and meteorological conditions allow for the prediction of leptospirosis outbreaks in New Caledonia. We found that La Niña periods ...

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne neglected tropical disease. JE mostly found in rural areas where people usually keep cattle at home for their needs. Cattle households reduce virus infections since they distract vectors and act as dead-end host the virus. However, presence of introduces risk leptospirosis humans. Leptospirosis bacterial disease that spreads through direct or indir...

Leptospirosis can present with severe cases such as polymyositis, peripheral neuropathy, and rarely, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). This paper reports a case who presented dysarthria GBS. A female patient complaints of weakness, dizziness, diarrhea, dysarthric. Her assessments included muscle strength globally 4/5 deep tendon reflexes hypoactive. An electromyographic examination was performed t...

leptospirosis is one of the most prevalent zoonotic diseases worldwide. currently, multivalent whole-cell leptospiral vaccines can induce protection against leptospirosis. therefore, preparation and formulation of new generations of vaccines that can stimulate long-term immunity for leptospirosis control are essential. the aim of this study was to prepare and characterize alginate microspheres ...

BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonosis causedby Leptospira interrogans. Leptospirosis results in decreasedmilk production, abortion, stillbirth, infertility and mortality,which causes financial loss in the cattle industry. OBJECTIVES:The aim of this research was to perform a serological andbacteriological study of leptospirosis in 6 industrial dairy herdsand 3 feedlots with previous ...

Background.  In Switzerland, leptospirosis is still considered as a travel-associated disease. After the surprising diagnosis of leptospirosis in a patient who was initially suspected as having primary human immunodeficiency virus infection, we recognized that acquisition of leptospirosis occurred through recreational activities and we identified additional affected individuals. Methods.  Detai...
