Correlation between rainfall and the incident of leptospirosis in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia

| description | Leptospirosis is an infectious disease, with the urine of mice and other carrier animals as the main source of infection, transmitted through direct contact with urine or water contaminated with the carrier’s urine. In Indonesia, Bantul Regency has the highest cases of leptospirosis in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. This study analyzed the correlation between rainfall and the incidence of leptospirosis in Bantul Regency. An analytical observational method with a cross-sectional design was utilized. The relation between the rainfall variable per district from 2010 to 2023 and the incidence of leptospirosis was assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation. The results unveiled that leptospirosis fluctuated in all districts (42 to 168 cases per year), with an average annual rainfall falling between 136 to 237 mm. The geographical distribution revealed that leptospirosis occurred more frequently in urban areas, and Spearman’s rank correlation proved that leptospirosis is correlated positively with rainfall (p = 0.009; r = 0.372). These results indicate that rainfall could serve as a predictor in a prediction model for the incidence of leptospirosis in Bantul Regency. Leptospirosis control has been focused more on urban areas; hence, vigilance needs to be carried out and encouraged during the rainy season. |
