The overall seroprevalence among rodents was 13.3%, mostly in Bandicota savilei (35.7%) and Rattus norvegicus (31.5%). Between ecology, behavior and sex of the rodents, seroprevalence was not significantly different (p>0.05), however the seroprevalence found among different geographical areas of Nakhon Pathom Province were significantly different (p<0.0001).Mahidol UniversityMedicineArticleSCOPUS
