Resumen
Leptospirosis is a disease endemic to countries with subtropical and tropical climates. It affects people working with animals or outdoors in places with large accumulations of water, such as rice fields or after extreme weather events. Leptospirosis is most common in rural areas of Ecuador, but limited information is known about the epidemiology of the disease in these areas. Our study was conducted in a rural community located in the province of Manabí, on the coast of Ecuador. Para acceder a la videoconferencia completa, hacer clic en "Enlace externo".
