Abstract

"Protect yourself from Leptospirosis, a potentially deadly zoonotic disease prevalent globally, especially in tropical regions. With climate change increasing risk areas and over 1 million severe cases diagnosed annually worldwide, vaccination is crucial for high-risk professionals and travelers. The SPIROLEPT vaccine offers 99% protection against severe forms caused by serogroups Icterohemorrhagiae and Copenhageni. Recommended for those exposed to contaminated water, it's essential for preventing kidney failure and death. Stay informed, get vaccinated, and reduce your risk."

[...] In France, since August leptospirosis is a reportable disease, which allows for tracking epidemiology and limiting the risks of transmission (cf. annex 1). Human transmission of leptospirosis occurs mainly through skin contact with bacteria present in fresh water and muddy soils contaminated by the urine of infected animals on damaged skin, which explains the seasonality of epidemics (due to good weather, water activities are more frequent) but also the higher incidence in tropical areas due to local climatic and living conditions. [...]

[...] In France, vaccination is recommended for high-risk professionals, as well as for travelers with a high risk of exposure. The vaccine provides protection in 99% of cases against severe and deadly forms of leptospirosis caused by serogroups Icterohemorrhagiae and Copenhageni (the most dangerous for humans and responsible for approximately 30% of leptospirosis cases). Problems Leptospirosis is a little-known disease but tends to progress in metropolitan areas. This progression can be explained by climate change, which can promote areas of stagnant water, but also by the multiplication of 'at-risk' activities (water sports, aquatic leisure activities).
