  Evaluation Summary:

  Leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease with a major global health impact. Although the role of rats as hosts is well known, it is less clear how important the fine-scale local and simultaneous presence of infected rats is relative to contact with water that could have been contaminated by rats elsewhere, or some time in the past. This study leverages a fine-scaled spatial dataset on human infection data and rat abundance to address this question, using a carefully developed statistical model that incorporates key variables and takes into account spatial variation. The models show that 'rattiness', a proxy for local rat abundance, might be an important driver of human infection risk, suggesting that rodent control measures might be an avenue for lowering the risk of infection with Leptospira bacteria.
