The disease can be transmitted by rodents. It's the organism that causes what is commonly known as 'beaver fever'. A contamination of public (although often rural) water systems, and causes the the local Public Heath Service to issue a boil water alert to those who use the water supply. It is also the reason campers and hikers are told to treat water with iodine tablets.
