# Leptospirosis Environmental Surveillance

## Abstract

Synthetic dataset modeling leptospirosis surveillance across three SSA scenarios. Captures flood/rodent exposure, clinical severity (Weil disease), misdiagnosis as malaria, lab confirmation, treatment, environmental monitoring, and One Health coordination. Based on Costa et al. (2015) PLOS NTDs, Allan et al. (2015), de Vries et al. (2014).

## Parameterization Evidence

| Parameter | Value | Source | Year |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Global cases/yr | 1.03 million, 58,900 deaths | Costa et al. PLOS NTDs | 2015 |
| Seroprevalence febrile Tanzania | 15.4% | Allan et al. PLOS NTDs | 2015 |
| Misdiagnosed as malaria | 5-15% of febrile cases | Maze et al. Clin Micro Inf | 2018 |
| Seroprevalence SSA by occupation | 7-35% | De Vries et al. IJID | 2014 |

## Validation

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/leptospirosis-environmental", name="moderate_awareness")
df = ds['train'].to_pandas()
```
