Geographical and occupational aspects of leptospirosis in the coffee-triangle region of Colombia, 2007-2011.
CONCLUSION: one of the 53 municipalities contributed with almost a quarter of the cases. Agriculture was significantly associated with the incidence. Use of GIS-based epidemiological maps allow to focus actions in prevention and control for risk zones for leptospirosis which still represents a significant issue in the region and Colombia, particularly in agriculture workers.
