ResumenLa leptospirosis es una enfermedad de gran importancia en el mundo debido a su componente zoonótico, el objetivo de esta investigación fue realizar una asociación entre la presencia de la enfermedad en animales domésticos, humanos y roedores silvestres en Latinoamérica. Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica haciendo énfasis en reportes asociados a roedores silvestres en los últimos 50 años. Como resultado se pudo establecer que los roedores silvestres seropositivos a la bacteria, en la mayoría de los casos, resultaban negativos en cultivo y los títulos eran bajos en comparación con la seroprevalencia en los animales domésticos, por lo que se deduce que son el principal factor de riesgo. Por tanto, es necesario establecer un control estricto en las explotaciones pecuarias, así como realizar estudios minuciosos, con el fin de disminuir los brotes en humanos e impedir la diseminación de la enfermedad a la fauna silvestre y la propagación de la enfermedad en humanos.Palabras clave: Leptospira, roedores, zoonosis, diagnóstico, reservorio, Latinoamérica. AbstractLeptospirosis is a disease of great importance in the world because of its zoonotic component, the purpose of this research was to establish a relation between the presence of the disease among domestic, human and wild rodents in Latin America. A review of available bibliography was conducted with an emphasis on reports associated with wild rodents in the last 50 years. As a result it was established that wild rodents that were seropositive to the bacteria, in most cases, had negative culture results and titles were low compared to the seroprevalence in pets, it therefore follows that they are 85
