Geospatial analysis of leptospirosis clusters and risk factors in two provinces of the Dominican Republic

Our findings confirm the clustered spatial pattern of leptospirosis and highlight that transmission drivers vary by province. While both provinces show higher transmission in impoverished areas, modifiable factors differ, requiring tailored public health interventions.

Abstract

Our findings confirm the clustered spatial pattern of leptospirosis and highlight that transmission drivers vary by province. While both provinces show higher transmission in impoverished areas, modifiable factors differ, requiring tailored public health interventions.
