• Global Morbidity and Mortality of Leptospirosis: A Systematic Review (2015, background): “Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease that occurs in diverse epidemiological settings but imparts its greatest burden on resource-poor populations [1–6].”
• Leptospira and leptospirosis. (2001, neutral): “Several PCR protocols for detection of leptospiral DNA in clinical material have been developed since the 1990s; most of them reported high sensitivity.”
• Leptospirosis in Humans (2015, positive): “However, the results justify further attempts to understand the role of amphibians in maintaining leptospires in nature (Adler and de la Peña-Moctezuma 2010; Bharti et al. 2003; Hartskeerl et al. 2011; Ko et al. 2009; Levett 2001; McBride et al. 2005; Felzemburgh et al. 2014).”
• Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “The maintenance of a genetically diverse group of leptospires in bats suggests that they may be capable of transmitting 108 Jones et al.: Bats as bioindicators leptospirosis to humans, and thus species of public health concern in the tropics (Bharti et al. 2003).”
• Marine Mammals as Sentinel Species for Oceans and Human Health (2011, background): “Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease infecting a broad range of mammalian hosts and is reemerging globally.(12) California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) have experienced recurrent outbreaks of leptospirosis since 1970, and the infection is thought to be enzootic.”
• Rodent-borne diseases and their risks for public health (2009, background): “Although there are some positive reports on the use of antileptospiral vaccines in humans, long-term efficacy studies of vaccines have not been published (Bharti et al. 2003) and many questions remain on virulence factors and pathogenesis (Koizumi and Watanabe 2005).”
