Seroprevalence of seven climate-sensitive zoonoses in Greenland and northern Sweden (1998–2017): High antibody prevalence against Rickettsia and Leptospira, with Leptospira possibly linked to global warming
This first report on human <i>Leptospira</i> infection in Greenland highlights rising seroprevalence, possibly linked to contaminated water and global warming. Findings emphasize widespread <i>Rickettsia</i> exposure in northern regions and tick-borne pathogens in Sweden, underscoring the need for updated public health data to inform public health planning.
