Abstract
The main reservoir for urban leptospirosis is Rattus norvegicus. The rapid
increasing of slums human population creates ideal conditions for rat-borne
transmission. Although prevention of urban leptospirosis has relied on control of
the rat reservoir; studies evaluating the effectiveness of these intervention
measures are scarce.
