“…Temperature is amenable in the non-rainy period from June to August, and the September-December period has low humidity and high temperatures 24 . These weather conditions interfere with agent's continuity in the environment, which justifies the low prevalence observed in this study, since Teresina has two well-defined seasons: a rainy season with amenable temperatures and humidity favorable to the maintenance and the proliferation of leptospires, thus, known for their seasonal nature, which causing urban outbreaks in rainy periods 25 , and a non-rainy season with low rainfall, high temperatures and relatively low humidity, providing a dry environment that interferes with the survival of this bacterium. The most frequent serovar was Icterohaemorrhagiae, followed by Canicola, which is to be expected since canine leptospirosis is caused mainly by Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae serovars, for which the main hosts are, respectively, dogs and rodents 26 .…”

“…Rainfall and number of cases of leptospirosis are directly related to soil saturation and urbanization 25 . Urbanization can potentially increase flood intensity by tenfold.…”

“…It is also known that flash floods have impacts on public health and health services because of their characteristics and lack of predictability, which can affect the supply of services as well as the displacement of support and relief teams [38]. In addition, it is clear that people who are not prepared for this HE have the greatest possibility of contact with contaminated water, thus increasing the risk of Leptospirosis [39].…”

“…In addition to the impact of this health problem is minimized, it is essential to the formulation of public policies for intersectoral aspect [27]. Thus, the establishment of adequate water networks and sewage, clearing the beds of rivers and streams, the establishment of a collection and reuse of waste system to prevent the proliferation of rodents, as well as organization of urban space and investment in social, and education are actions with real potential for a resolution on the determinants of the occurrence of leptospirosis cases in the capital of Acre [28].…”
