What Is Leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection caused by the bacteria Leptospira, which is found in the urine of infected animals, particularly rodents. Humans can contract the disease through direct contact with contaminated water, soil, or food. The infection is most common in tropical and subtropical regions, especially after heavy rainfall or flooding, as the bacteria thrive in warm and moist environments.
