Abstract

Background: The pathogenic Leptospira is maintained in renal tubules of certain animals, mostly rodents, and excreted in the urine which can contaminate the environment. It is necessary to detect pathogenic Leptospira in environmental samples. Knowing the survival of Leptospira in the environment (water and soil) can provide an overview of where and how they can be transmitted to humans.

Objective: Therefore, this study aimed to provide a systematic overview of pathogenic Leptospira presence in water and soil environment, the various species of pathogenic Leptospira that are harmful for human, and the ability to survive using a systematic review method.

Methods: The search process used four databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and ProQuest. Furthermore, the articles sought were published from 2000 to July 2021, and 38 were analysed.

Results: The pathogenic Leptospira contamination in water was higher in urban areas, while soil samples were higher in rural areas. Various pathogenic Leptospira detected in the environment were L. alstonii, L. kmetyi, L. noguchii, and L. interrogans. Those pathogenic Leptospira can survive in water at 4-30°C and at pH < 7; in soil, it can survive at a humidity of < 20% and a pH < 6.

Conclusion: Urban and rural areas have the same risk for leptospirosis disease because pathogenic Leptospira (P1).

环境中的致病性钩端螺旋体污染：系统综述。

背景：致病性钩端螺旋体存在于某些动物（主要是啮齿类动物）的肾小管中，并随尿液排出体外，从而污染环境。有必要检测环境样本中的致病性钩端螺旋体。了解钩端螺旋体在环境（水和土壤）中的存活情况，可以大致了解钩端螺旋体在哪里以及如何传播给人类：因此，本研究旨在采用系统综述的方法，系统概述水和土壤环境中存在的致病性钩端螺旋体、对人类有害的各种致病性钩端螺旋体以及它们的生存能力：搜索过程使用了四个数据库：方法：检索过程使用了四个数据库：PubMed、Science Direct、Scopus 和 ProQuest。此外，所搜索的文章发表于 2000 年至 2021 年 7 月，共分析了 38 篇文章：结果：城市地区水样中的钩端螺旋体致病性较高，而农村地区土壤样本中的钩端螺旋体致病性较高。在环境中检测到的各种致病性钩端螺旋体包括 L. alstonii、L. kmetyi、L. noguchii 和 L. interrogans。这些致病性钩端螺旋体可在 4-30 摄氏度、pH 值小于 7 的水中存活；在湿度小于 20%、pH 值小于 6.的土壤中存活：结论：由于致病性钩端螺旋体（P1）的存在，城市和农村地区患钩端螺旋体病的风险相同。

期刊介绍： Infection Ecology & Epidemiology aims to stimulate inter-disciplinary collaborations dealing with a range of subjects, from the plethora of zoonotic infections in humans, over diseases with implication in wildlife ecology, to advanced virology and bacteriology. The journal specifically welcomes papers from studies where researchers from multiple medical and ecological disciplines are collaborating so as to increase our knowledge of the emergence, spread and effect of new and re-emerged infectious diseases in humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Main areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 1.Zoonotic microbioorganisms 2.Vector borne infections 3.Gastrointestinal pathogens 4.Antimicrobial resistance 5.Zoonotic microbioorganisms in changing environment
