Identification of Species in Environmental Soil of Urban Settlements in Cambodia.

Leptospirosis represents a major public health threat in Cambodia. To help establish preventive strategies for leptospirosis, we isolated and identified from soil collected in Phnom Penh and its neighboring province during the dry and rainy seasons. Soil samples were collected from 15 sites in the Phnom Penh metropolitan area and Kandal Province in 2019 and 2020.
