Isolation of Leptospira kmetyi from residential areas of patients with leptospirosis in Kelantan, Malaysia

Environmental sampling provides important information that enhances the understanding of the leptospiral human –environment–animal relationship. Several studies have described the distribution of Leptospira in the environment. However, more targeted sites, that is, areas surrounding leptospirosis patients’ houses, remain under-explored. Therefore, this study aims to detect the presence of Leptospira sp p. in the residential areas of patients with leptospirosis.
