Calls for leptospirosis vaccination after California outbreak study
Original: Leptospirosis vaccine call after California outbreak study
A study of a leptospirosis outbreak in California has prompted calls for wider vaccination, according to a report in the veterinary press. Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease that can affect both animals and humans, often spread through water contaminated by infected urine. Details of the outbreak's scale and the study's findings have not been further specified in the available reporting.
Why now: New research linking a California outbreak to the disease has renewed debate about whether leptospirosis vaccination should be expanded.
