| [leptospirosis and environment. study of 2 major foci in new caledonia]. | a study of human and animal leptospirosis was carried out in new caledonia's two most important focuses. this survey showed an annual incidence in the human population of 8.8 p. thousand in the nera basin and 0.88 p. thousand in the coulée basin. male adults with agricultural and livestock occupations are the most exposed, especially from march to may, the end of the hot season. frequent contacts with fresh water and animals, and the failure to use of gloves and boots, significantly increase the ... | 1988 | 3231845 |

| risk factors and predictors of severe leptospirosis in new caledonia. | leptospirosis is a major public health concern in new caledonia (nc) and in other tropical countries. severe manifestations of the disease are estimated to occur in 5-15% of all human infections worldwide and factors associated with these forms are poorly understood. our objectives were to identify risk factors and predictors of severe forms of leptospirosis in adults. | 2013 | 23326614 |
| seeking the environmental source of leptospirosis reveals durable bacterial viability in river soils. | leptospirosis is an important re-emerging infectious disease that affects humans worldwide. infection occurs from indirect environment-mediated exposure to pathogenic leptospires through contaminated watered environments. the ability of pathogenic leptospires to persist in the aqueous environment is a key factor in transmission to new hosts. hence, an effort was made to detect pathogenic leptospires in complex environmental samples, to genotype positive samples and to assess leptospiral viabilit ... | 2017 | 28241042 |
