Investigation of leptospirosis in rodents, Mahé, Seychelles, 2013-2014

This dataset is related to the description of rodents (morphology, status of leptospirosis infection and environment around the capture sites) collected in Mahé, the main island of Seychelles, and analyzed in the framework of the LEPTOI 32913 Project (FEDER INTERREG V program). It includes two small rodent species (Rattus norvegicus and Rattus rattus), their leptospirosis infection status (determined through RT-qPCR or culture on their kidney samples), their GPS location, rainfall information (interpolated from weather stations), landscape indices calculated after classifying the land use/land cover by remote sensing (object-based image analysis) of SPOT-5 images.
