In this IDCC Webinar Series presentation, Dr. Vett Lloyd and Samantha Bishop of Mount Allison University will review the research they are undertaking to assess the prevalence of leptospirosis in New Brunswick. Leptospirosis is a serious disease that is spread from exposure to water or soil contaminated by urine from infected wildlife and domestic animals. Many of these reservoir animals are expanding their traditional habitats under the influence of climate change. The presentation will describe the distribution of leptospires across the province and the necessity of continuous monitoring to protect the wellbeing of humans, companion, agricultural and wild animals.
