Abstract
The article compiles the previous reviews and research carried out by the Veterinary Science research group (CIENVET) and international scientific publications. The objective of the research was to describe epidemiologic characteristics of leptospirosis emergence in wildlife and to elucidate their role in disease transmission. An analysis of available information in: Science Direct, SciELO, ProQuest, and PubMed databases, selecting the most relevant articles on leptospirosis according to their relevance and timeliness, to strengthen the critical review disease in wild animals was carried out. Wild animals in the wild or in captivity are crucial components in the epidemiologic cycle of zoonotic diseases, including leptospirosis, acting as reservoirs, maintenance hosts, carriers or accidental hosts, according to factors related to the agent, taxonomic species and the environment, thus participating in the transmission of different serotypes. Since emerging infectious diseases pose a serious threat to wild species, investigations of these diseases in such populations can benefit conservation efforts and provide a connection between serological studies and the well-recognized detection, timely identification and surveillance needs of these diseases.
