Leptospirosis

Estimated Effects of Climate Variables on Transmission of Malaria, Dengue and Leptospirosis within Georgetown, Guyana

DOI:

10.7727/wimj.2017.118

Pages:

Synopsis:

The study suggest a connection between climate variable and vector borne disease. The study showed a positive correlation between climate variables and vector borne diseases like malaria, leptospirosis and dengue.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze meteorological data (temperature, rainfall and relative humidity) and vector borne diseases (malaria, dengue and leptospirosis) to determine trends that may exist between and among variables within the Georgetown area.

Synopsis:

In this study was investigated the place of routinely used biochemical tests in the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Some parameters amenable to routine use are able to differentiate the disease from other cases with similar clinical and laboratory findings.

Issue:

Vol 59, issue 1 (2010)

Pages:

14–9

Synopsis:

The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (15.7%), Leptospira spp. (0.7%) and Brucella abortus (0.0%) was determined in sugarcane workers in Trinidad and Tobago but the risk factors studied did not significantly affect infection.
