Leptospira Infection Data from Cattle Farms in Urabá, Antioquia

494 cattle samples were analyzed for Leptospira infection in an exploratory cross-sectional study on farms in Urabá, Antioquia. The dataset, created by Sara Patiño-Gómez and last updated in May 2026, includes results from molecular assays and serological tests (MAT) for cattle, dogs, humans, and environmental samples. It explores associations between infection, farm characteristics, and landscape variables using mixed-data factor analysis.

Use Cases

• Modeling associations between Leptospira seropositivity and farm/landscape variables based on the mixed-data factor analysis mentioned.
• Analyzing cross-species transmission patterns based on serogroup data shared between humans, cattle, and dogs.
• Studying environmental contamination pathways based on the detection of Leptospira species in water and soil samples.

Strengths

• Includes multi-species and environmental data (cattle, dogs, humans, water, soil) for a One Health analysis.
• Provides specific infection and seropositivity rates (e.g., 76.9% seropositivity in cattle, 4.0% molecular infection rate).
• Uses multiple diagnostic methods (molecular assays and MAT) for detection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (84.5 KB), indicating a limited scope of observations.
