Leptospirosis is an emerging public health problem in Thailand especially Si Sa Ket. The aims of this study were to determine the leptospirosis incidence and factors of death among leptospirosis patients in Si Sa Ket. This study was performed during 2010-2019 from the 506-surveillance report of leptospirosis to the Sisaket Provincial Public Health Office and the National Disease Surveillance System, Bureau of Epidemiology, Ministry of Public Health, Thailand. The data was using the definition of leptospirosis patient for disease surveillance. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate factors of death. A total of 3,988 cases were reported from 22 districts, mainly in rural settings. The incidence rate for leptospirosis was 27.15 per 100,000 population. The dramatic phenomenal of epidemiological characteristics of leptospirosis in Si Sa Ket include a peak incidence in August and October in association with the rainy season. Seventy-four point eight percent of subjects were male, 24.5% were aged 45-54 years and 78.3% were agricultural workers. A total number of 86 deaths were registered in 19 districts. Mortality was higher in males (80.2%). The fatality rate was 2.16%. Significant factors of death found on multiple logistic regression analysis were agricultural workers (Adjusted OR=2.51, 95% CI: 1.15-5.49) and the duration of seeking for medical care >3 days after onset (Adjusted OR=2.45, 95% CI: 1.30-4.61). To reduce the burden disease, the promotion of preventive health behavior, early recognition and treatment of patients have been shown to reduce the severity of illness and death.

This study describes changes in the prevalence of Leptospira interrogans infections among small mammals, including rats and larger domestic and wild mammals in Lviv Oblast, a region in western Ukraine from 2001–2015, using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). A total of 439,948 domestic or wild animals were tested. We found the prevalence of Leptospira interrogans exposure varied among tested species and changed over the time. Infection was significantly less common in domestic animals, than in wild rodents. In swine the overall seroprevalence was 0.51%, while in cattle it was 0.19%. In dogs it was higher—2.75%. After 2006, evidence of infection was only observed in swine among domestic animals. The prevalence among large wild animals (0.25%) was similar to that among domestic animals. Among small mammals and rats, seroprevalence was most commonly observed among Rattus norvegicus (18.44%) and it was less common among other wild small mammals (8.74%). There were two dominant serogroups among large wild and domestic animals–L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. hebdomadis while among wild small mammals the two most common were L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. grippotyphosa. Wild animals with antibodies were found throughout the entire oblast.

We tested small mammal (SM) community response to the influence of seasonal floods and habitat transformation in a temporal zone meadow (west Lithuania). The habitat transitioned from a natural flooded meadow in 2008-2012 to a mowed and pastured area in 2020. SM were trapped in late summer to autumn using lines of 25 traps (145 in total), the number of trapping sessions being one or several per year. We tested the hypotheses that: (1) any reaction to the multiple disturbances is species-specific, that is, the relative abundance of SM species and their proportion in the community differs with respect to the flood magnitude and habitat transformation, and (2) at the guild level, disturbances favor habitat generalists, thereby changing the characteristics of SM community. The average relative density of SM was 20.25 individuals per 100 trap nights (range 7.56-40.67), with 4-year-long cyclical changes of density observed. In separate years, we recorded from 4 to 9 species; Shannon's diversity index varied from 0.46 to 2.19, with expressed change of the dominant species. Habitat generalist species were favored, while habitat specialists were disadvantaged. As the meadow transformation progressed, unfavored states in the SM community prevailed, with excessive numbers of granivore and herbivore species present. Our study suggests that multiple disturbances may lead to an increase in relative abundance, species richness, and diversity within the SM assemblages.
