Leptospirosis research. Veterinary medical officer examining a guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) for general condition and pulmonary health. These animals are being used to help understand the pulmonary bleeding seen in an outbreak of leptospirosis in Nicaragua. Leptospirosis is an infectious disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. It is characterised by fever, vomiting, conjunctivitis and muscular pains. Jaundice and renal failure may occur in the severe form of the infection known as Weil's disease. Rodents are the main carriers, along with dogs and farm animals.
