Leptospirosis under the bibliometrics radar: Evidence for a vicious circle of neglect

Abstract

Leptospirosis, a paradigm of a One Health disease, mostly imposes its high burden on vulnerable farmers or poor urban active young males in tropical and subtropical regions. Based on the environmental and climatic determinants of leptospirosis, there is strong evidence to suggest that this high burden will increase further in the future, as a consequence of climate change.
