Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis, a significant bacterial disease affecting both humans and animals, is endemic in Palau, but little research has been done on environmental risk factors like weather and animal hosts that contribute to the disease.
- Using environmental DNA metabarcoding, researchers collected water samples from different weather conditions in Palau to analyze the presence and abundance of pathogenic Leptospira.
- The findings indicated that pathogenic Leptospira were more prevalent in water samples collected during and after rainy conditions, especially when flooding occurred, suggesting the need for improved public health measures in the region.
