A systematic review of waterborne and water-related disease in animal populations of Florida from 1999-2019.

<h4>Background</h4>Florida's waters are a reservoir for a host of pathogens and toxins. Many of these microorganisms cause water-related diseases in people that are reportable to the Florida Department of Health. Our objective in this review was to ascertain which water-related path...

For inclusion, peer-reviewed journal articles were to be written in English, published between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2019, and contain primary research findings documenting at least one of the water-related pathogens or toxins of interest in an animal population within Florida during this same time frame.<h4>Results</h4>Of over eight thousand initial search results, 65 studies were included for final analysis.
