Recent evolutions of natural foci of leptospirosis and small mammal communities (rodentia, insectivora) in the Republic of Moldova

Introduction. Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by microorganisms of the genus Leptospira with a global spread. The main reservoir of leptospires are the small mammals, which survive after infection, spreading the causative agent in the environment with urine. Material and methods. The studied wer...
