Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Leptospira genus can affect many animals, including dogs, horses, cattle, pigs, cats, goats, sheep, rabbits and especially rodents, which excrete them in their urine. It is known as \u201crat disease\u201d.<\/p>\n

The bacteria responsible for leptospirosis, called leptospires, can survive in a warm, humid environment for months. The disease can be contracted through contact with water or soil contaminated by rodent urine. Bacteria can enter the body through cuts, scratches, the eyes or mouth.<\/p>\n

Typical symptoms of leptospirosis include high fever with chills, headaches, muscle and joint pain. If not treated in time, the disease can develop into serious complications such as kidney, liver or lung disease.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to observe the rules of hygiene, especially regular hand-washing and avoiding contact with potentially contaminated water or soil.<\/p>\n

You should also wear gloves, goggles and boots during risky activities, and carefully wash cans and fruit and vegetables before use.<\/p>\n

When storing food, put it in closed containers to avoid contamination.<\/p>\n
