| dc.description | Since Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae was first demonstrated as the cause of Weil's Disease in Japan in 1914, over 130 serotypes have been identified and Leptospirosis in man or animals has been caused by most of them. The spread of infection in each case is along a similar path. An animal , frequently a rat or other rodent serves as the host , often suffering little from the infection, but shedding Leptospira in his urine for a long time. In stagnant water or wet soil contaminated by urine, the Leptospires survive for long periods (sometimes months) and if during this period they come in contact with human skin, or mucous membranes of the eyes or nasopharynx, they may invade the blood stream and cause infection. | en_GB |
