Infectious Diseases Control
Saving humanity from leptospirosis
‐ Battling infectious disease with vaccines and diagnostic technology ‐
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means that it can be passed from animals to humans. This project conducted research with the aim of establishing preventive measures and developing a rapid diagnostic method including a detailed study in the Philippines, where the disease is widespread. The project successfully achieved many outcomes that will hopefully contribute in controlling leptospirosis.
