- - Leptospirosis is a disease caused by bacteria from the Leptospira genus, and it is a significant health issue in Palau, where it's endemic; however, there's a lack of detailed information on its specific strains.
- - In a study, researchers isolated these bacteria from symptomatic dogs and healthy pigs, identifying several strains, with a notable detection of antibodies against the bacteria in both animals; however, one strain's serogroup was undetermined.
- - The study revealed a high occurrence of the disease in both dogs (14.4%) and pigs (20%), identified new genetic types of Leptospira, and suggested further research is needed to understand the potential risks of disease transmission to humans from these
