Background. Leptospirosis, caused by Leptospira spirochetes, is considered the most widespread zoonosis worldwide. Morbidity may be increased by natural disasters such as floods or typhoons. Aim of the study. The aim of the present study was to investigate the epidemiological situation of leptospirosis in the Lublin Region (Eastern Poland) with consideration of the effects of flooding by the Vistula River, by investigating human population and various elements of the environment for the presence of Leptospira in two areas: ‘Area A’ exposed to flooding, and ‘Area B’ not exposed to flooding. Material and Methods. In the Areas A and B, sera of 100 and 98 inhabitants, sera of 32 and 41 pigs and sera of 41 and 40 cows were examined, respectively, for the presence of anti-Leptospira antibodies by the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), as well as 40 and 64 samples of water, 40 and 68 samples of soil, organ samples of 30 and 30 small mammals from 5 and 6 species, and 540 and 296 Ixodes ricinus ticks, respectively – for the presence of Leptospira DNA by the nested-PCR
