The Fijian Ministry of Health reports continuing outbreaks of leptospirosis (Weil’s disease) in all four divisions of Fiji this year.
From 1 January 2022 to 9 March 2022, there have been 991 cases of leptospirosis, including 25 deaths.
Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection transmitted to humans from the urine of infected animals (often rodents). Infection often occurs from water contaminated by infected animal urine.
Travellers participating in adventure/ecotourism, water-based sports activities, athletic endurance events, mountain biking and military exercises have an increased chance of exposure, especially if travelling to known-risk destinations.
Travellers at increased risk should be advised:
No licensed vaccine is available in the UK for leptospirosis.
