Question
Leptospirosis (rat urine illness) is an infection caused by Leptospira, a corkscrew-shaped
bacteria. Symptoms might range from no symptoms to minor headaches, muscle pains, and
fevers, as well as serious pulmonary haemorrhage or meningitis. The incidence of Leptospirosis
cases has progressively climbed from 2011 to 2015, according to news published in The Star
online on July 12, 2017. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, there were 2,268
cases in 2011, and this number has steadily climbed to 8,291 cases in 2015. Assuming you are
an environmentalist tasked with investigating this issue, provide a few strategies capable of
reducing the above biological pollution in the future.
