Who are the reservoirs of this bacteria?
  • Although commonly referred to as rat fever,
    leptospirosis can be transmitted by various
    animals including cattle, buffaloes, horses,
    sheep, goats, pigs, dogs, and rodents. All
    mammalian species can harbor leptospires in their
    kidneys and act as a source of infection for
    humans and other animals. Get the IIT coaching in
    India.Rodents, particularly, are the primary
    carriers of leptospirosis and can shed leptospira
    throughout their lifespan without showing
    clinical symptoms. Pigs and cattle, in a carrier
    state, can excrete significant amounts of
    leptospires and pose a risk for human infection.
