Multi-year literature data as well as materials of the Reference centre of monitoring of natural foci infections of Irkutsk Research Institute of Plague Control of Siberia and the Far East regarding epidemiology, epizootology and laboratory diagnostics of leptospiroses in Siberia and the Far East are analyzed and summarized in the review. Situation on leptospiroses in the region has changed significantly. In 50 - 70s of the 20th century diseases were registered ubiquitously in the form of outbreaks, group and single cases. Currently a low level of sporadic morbidity is noted in separate subjects of the Russian Federation. The contemporary state of the problem remains insufficiently clear, this demands the expansion of studies, creation of modern databases, as well as introduction into the practice of highly sensitive methods of express diagnostics in a complex with bacteriologic and serologic methods.

The global priorities in the field of infectious diseases are constantly changing. While emerging viral infections have regularly dominated public health attention, which has only intensified after the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous bacterial diseases have previously caused, and continue to cause, significant morbidity and mortality-deserving equal attention. Three potentially life-threatening endemic bacterial diseases (leptospirosis, melioidosis, and rickettsioses) are a huge public health concern especially in low- and middle-income countries.

Background: Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic , primarily transmitted to humans through contact with water or soil contaminated by the bacteria. It is globally distributed, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions. While prior studies have examined the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of leptospirosis, few have explored trends and emerging topics in the field.

The black rat Rattus rattus is an exotic and synanthropic rodent prominent in Brazil and with high adaptation to urban areas. The species have an omnivorous diet feed on human food resources, potentially becoming infected and spreading infectious agents that cause zoonoses such as leptospirosis, leishmaniosis, Chagas disease, and toxoplasmosis, which are significant public health concerns in the country. We analyzed the epidemiologic profile of R.
