Human Leptospirosis on Reunion Island, Indian Ocean: Are Rodents the (Only) Ones to Blame?
BACKGROUND Although leptospirosis is a zoonosis of major concern on tropical islands, the molecular epidemiology of the disease aiming at linking human cases to specific animal reservoirs has been rarely explored within these peculiar ecosystems. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Five species of wild small mammals (n = 995) as well as domestic animals (n = 101) were screened for Leptospira infec...
متن کاملSeasonality of Human Leptospirosis in Reunion Island (Indian Ocean) and Its Association with Meteorological Data
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is a disease which occurs worldwide but particularly affects tropical areas. Transmission of the disease is dependent on its excretion by reservoir animals and the presence of moist environment which allows the survival of the bacteria. METHODS AND FINDINGS A retrospective study was undertaken to describe seasonal patterns of human leptospirosis cases reported by the ...
متن کاملHuman Leptospirosis on Reunion Island: Past and Current Burden
Since 1953, leptospirosis has been recognized as a public health problem on Reunion Island. In 2004, was implemented a specific surveillance system that included systematic reporting and the realization of environmental investigations around hospitalized cases. Here, we present the synthesis of historical data and the assessment of 9 years of leptospirosis surveillance. From 2004 to 2012, 414 h...
متن کاملBird pollination in an angraecoid orchid on Reunion Island (Mascarene Archipelago, Indian Ocean).
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although numerous angraecoid orchids in Madagascar display typical sphingophilous syndrome (i.e. white, nectariferous, long-spurred flowers, producing a strong scent at the crepuscule that is attractive to moths), three species of Angraecum in Reunion, belonging to the endemic section Hadrangis, have atypical unscented and short-spurred flowers. The aim of the study was to i...
متن کاملEvaluation of Recombinant Proteins Based Indirect ELISA and Microscopic Agglutination Test for Seroprevalence Study of Feline Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is worldwide zoonotic disease that is serious problem in south Indian states and now emerging in North India. The focus these days is to develop recombinant outer membrane protein based Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for seroprevalence of leptospirosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate indirect ELISA based on recombinant LipL41, Loa22, LipL21, LipL32 and OmpL1 prot...
