“…Each year, zoonotic leptospirosis infections may result in approximately 1 million cases, with a mortality rate of around 6.86%, leading to approximately 60,000 deaths worldwide, as reported by Costa et al (2015) , Bradley and Lockaby (2023) , and Shirzad et al (2023) . In accordance with the results reported by Costa et al (2015) , the major group of human hosts both at infection and at death were adult men aged between 20 and 49 years.…”
