LEPTOSPIROSIS PREVENTION AND CONTROL WITH COMPREHENSIVE ON HEALTH APPROACH; Literature Review

Abstract

Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by leptospira bacteria which can result in death. The cause of endemics in an area is influenced by behavioral, and environmental factors and sources of transmission. Environmental factors that influence rainfall, temperature, exposure to animals, and flooding. One Health is a collaborative effort from various sectors, especially the human, animal, and environmental health sectors, both at the local, national, and global levels in achieving optimal health. With the One Health approach, it is hoped that the prevention and control of emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases will be more effective and efficient. Objective: To identify the most appropriate One Health approach in preventing and controlling leptospirosis. Methods: The method used in this study was a literature search from 2 (two) electronic databases, namely Google Scholar and ScienceDirect. This study was based on a review of 221 clinical articles and research published between 2022 and 2023. Results: From the 221 articles used in this literature review, 6 showed that there was a significant correlation between the prevention and control of leptospirosis with the One Health model approach. Conclusion: The One Health approach model is one of the strategies to prevent and control leptospirosis through coordination.
