Seasonal and Environmental Determinants of Leptospirosis and Scrub Typhus in Small Mammals Captured at a U.S. Military Training Site (Dagmar North), Republic of Korea, 2001–2004

Abstract

These findings indicate determinants of infection exist for scrub typhus and leptospirosis at this training site. This information can be used for developing appropriate preventive medicine plans and coordinating troop activity during periods of reduced exposure decreasing the likelihood of disease transmission to humans.
