Leptospirosis is an animal infection caused by Leptospira bacteria that can be transmitted from animals to humans. People can become infected through contact with water, soil, or food contaminated by the urine of infected animals, or by inhaling droplets in polluted air. Prevention methods include rodent control, avoiding exposure to contaminated water, protecting at-risk workers, vaccinating livestock and pets, and proper waste disposal.
