Leptospirosis is the most widespread bacterial infection in the world, affecting both animals and humans. It is a bacterial infection passed from animals to humans by way of contaminated urine. Leptospirosis is also know as canicola fever, haemorrhagic jaundice, infectious jaundice, mud fever, spirochaetal jaundice, swamp fever, swineherd's disease and caver's flu.
