Leptospirosis is an infectious disease spread by contaminated water.
Leptospirosis is an infection caused by a group of bacteria called Leptospira. It is often mild but can be fatal. It is a zoonotic infection, which means it spreads between animals and people. Many mammals can be reservoirs for leptospirosis, but rats are the most common source of human infection.
Leptospirosis causes disease in humans around the world, particularly in warmer climates and developing countries with poor housing and sanitation, but also in developed countries among outdoor recreation enthusiasts, after extreme weather events, and in certain occupations.
