Leptospirosis Update

Posted May 9, 2012

What do the Fraser Valley, Stanley Park and North Vancouver all have in common? They are the three areas in BC that Leptospirosis is diagnosed every year. This is an emerging disease that was all but eliminated by vaccinations in the 80’s, but has made a comeback in the last few years. Almost all wild mammals can carry the disease and deposit it into parks, trails and ground water. For more info check out Dr. Sharon’s article on our Facebook page.
