Leptospirosis is not contagious in the way many Infectious Diseases are; it is primarily transmitted through contact with water or soil contaminated with the urine of infected animals. Humans can become infected through cuts or abrasions on the skin, or by ingesting contaminated water. While it is possible for the bacteria to spread through sexual contact, this is not the primary mode of transmission. Overall, leptospirosis is more of an environmental hazard than a contagious disease.
