Freshwater risk
This bacterium is a zoonosis usually acquired through exposure to river or lake water contaminated by the urine of rodents or other infected animals. Leptospirosis is observed in many countries around the world and usually presents as a severe febrile state, often with kidney and liver involvement. Due to the severity of this disease, medical consultation for antibiotic treatment is necessary.
