Resumen

FAPESB and NIH Fogarty R25 TW009338

The main reservoir for urban leptospirosis is Rattus norvegicus. The rapid increasing of slums human population creates ideal conditions for rat-borne transmission. Although prevention of urban leptospirosis has relied on control of the rat reservoir; studies evaluating the effectiveness of these intervention measures are scarce.
