Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira bacteria, is a major global health threat, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Transmitted through contact with contaminated water, soil or animal tissue, it disproportionately affects populations in highrisk environments. The disease is an ongoing global public health challenge, with climate change and extreme weather events such as floods accelerating its spread and contributing to outbreaks in Asia, Latin America and the Pacific.
