Epidemiological aspects of leptospirosis in Rio Grande do Sul during the 2024 Flood.
Background: Leptospirosis is a serious zoonosis. In 2024, Rio Grande do Sul (RS) experienced floods affecting 93% of the municipalities and 8.8% of the population. In this study, we reviewed the leptospirosis notifications post-flooding.
