​Halifax: Articles - Rodent Control / Leptospirosis


NEWS ARTICLES
2017: Oct 29th: Health Officials Downplay Leptospirosis Risk to People. Chronicle Herald
Highlights from article
  • "Dog owners should chill out about the risks of a bacterial infection making the rounds among Halifax dogs, health officials say."
  • "Veterinarians in Halifax have reported a dramatic increase in the number of dogs they’re seeing with leptospirosis this year. In its most virulent form, dogs can die from this bacterial infection if it spreads to the liver and kidneys."
  • “We do not have statistics on its prevalence in (Nova Scotia) because it is not required to be reported to Public Health. Leptospirosis is not a notifiable disease (here) because of its limited impact to public health.”
  • "But one veterinary expert said we should be paying more attention to diseases that can be passed from animals to humans — known as zoonotic diseases — even if transmission risks are low."
