Serological Survey of Leptospira spp. in Livestock and Rodents from Different Settlements in the Kilombero Wetland, Tanzania

This study demonstrates the presence of anti-<i>Leptospira</i> antibodies in rodents and livestock related to occupational activities in human settlements. It further demonstrates that wild animals (rodents) and livestock are reservoirs of <i>Leptospira</i> and are important in the epidemiology of leptospirosis. Management and control strategies should target both rodents and livestock.
