Geospatial mapping and risk factor analysis of Leptospira interrogans serovar Canicola Portland Vere in backyard cattle in Chiapas, Mexico
This study highlights a high burden of <i>Leptospira interrogans</i> serovar Canicola Portland Vere in backyard cattle of central Chiapas. Key risk factors include specific breeding methods, water sources, age, and breed. The integration of serological surveillance, spatial mapping, and statistical modeling proved effective in identifying epidemiological hotspots and informing future One Health-based prevention strategies. The findings emphasize the need for enhanced disease surveillance, targeted control programs, and public health interventions tailored to small-scale cattle systems in tropical regions.
