Abstract
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, especially subtropical or tropical countries, including Indonesia. Therefore, it is important to know what environmental factors related to leptospirosis in Indonesia. This research is a systematic review of 9 eligible research journals that published in 2005-2019 in Indonesia. Journals are obtained from Science Direct, PubMed, and Garuda databases. A total of 4 studies examining the relationship between the existence of rats with leptospirosis cases, found that there was a statistically significant relationship. A total of 3 studies found that there was a statistically significant relationship between a pool of water with leptospirosis cases. Meanwhile, 2 out of 4 studies found that there was a significant relationship between poor sewer conditions and poor garbage conditions with leptospirosis cases. In conclusion, most studies found that the existence of rats, a pool of water, poor sewer conditions, and poor garbage conditions are significantly related to leptospirosis cases in Indonesia.
