The goals of the data collection are to characterize the epidemiology of canine leptospirosis in Puerto Rico, assess the applicability of canine Leptospira vaccines used in the island, and determine potential rodent, livestock, and wildlife reservoirs for leptospirosis. Findings will be used to develop recommendations for the prevention of leptospirosis in dogs, focus human surveillance efforts, and guide further investigations on leptospirosis in Puerto Rico.
In the next two years, several leptospirosis surveillance and research activities in humans, animals and the environment will be developed in Puerto Rico by the CDC and other federal and non-government agencies. The approval of this reinstatement and continuation of information collection for canine leptospirosis will contribute to this One Health understanding of leptospirosis in Puerto Rico.
