“…We did not find evidence for scrub typhus, which we expected, because O. tsutsugamushi transmission occurs primarily in rural areas ( 11 ). Although SFGR have been reported in Southeast Asia and proof for their presence in Indonesia is accumulating ( 2 , 12 ), these rickettsia were not identified as a cause of AUF in the present study.…”

“…Previous studies have shown that murine typhus is particularly prevalent in tropical port cities where rats are abundant ( 13 , 14 ). In the Indonesian urban situation, R. rattus and R. norvegicus rats are likely to be the main hosts harboring R. typhi –infected X. cheopsis fleas ( 12 , 15 ). These rats are also likely to be the maintenance hosts for pathogenic Leptospira spp.…”

“…Zoonotic TBDs were detected in animals with pathogens such as A. platys, A. marginale, C. burnetti, Borrelia spp., and Rickettsia spp. [175,178,179,181,[183][184][185][186]. Studies on rickettsiosis showed evidence of disease among humans, transmitted by different tick and flea genera [187,188].…”

In this comprehensive review study, we addressed the challenge posed by ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) with growing incidence affecting human and animal health worldwide. Data and perspectives were collected from different countries and regions worldwide, including America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The results updated the current situation with ticks and TBD and how it is perceived by society with information bias and gaps. The study reinforces the importance of multidisciplinary and international collaborations to advance in the surveillance, communication and proposed future directions to address these challenges.

“…Other studies have found that R. rattus and R. norveigus are the primary host of R. typhi infected X. cheopsis fleas in Indonesia, as well as maintenance hosts for Leptospira spp. [129][130][131]. Incidence of leptospirosis increases after the rainy season due to water logging resulting in contact with animal urine, similar to scrub typhus that increases due to the large trombiculid mite population [115].…”

Leptospirosis and Coinfection: Should We Be Concerned?

Pathogenic Leptospira is the causative agent of leptospirosis, an emerging zoonotic disease affecting animals and humans worldwide. The risk of host infection following interaction with environmental sources depends on the ability of Leptospira to persist, survive, and infect the new host to continue the transmission chain. Leptospira may coexist with other pathogens, thus providing a suitable condition for the development of other pathogens, resulting in multi-pathogen infection in humans. Therefore, it is important to better understand the dynamics of transmission by these pathogens. We conducted Boolean searches of several databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, SciELO, and ScienceDirect, to identify relevant published data on Leptospira and coinfection with other pathogenic bacteria. We review the role of the host-microbiota in determining the synanthropic interaction of Leptospira sp. with other bacteria, thus creating a suitable condition for the leptospira to survive and persist successfully. We also discuss the biotic and abiotic factors that amplify the viability of Leptospira in the environment. The coinfection of leptospira with pathogenic bacteria has rarely been reported, potentially contributing to a lack of awareness. Therefore, the occurrence of leptospirosis coinfection may complicate diagnosis, long-lasting examination, and mistreatment that could lead to mortality. Identifying the presence of leptospirosis with other bacteria through metagenomic analysis could reveal possible coinfection. In conclusion, the occurrence of leptospirosis with other diseases should be of concern and may depend on the success of the transmission and severity of individual infections. Medical practitioners may misdiagnose the presence of multiple infections and should be made aware of and receive adequate training on appropriate treatment for leptospirosis patients. Physicians could undertake a more targeted approach for leptospirosis diagnosis by considering other symptoms caused by the coinfected bacteria; thus, more specific treatment could be given.
