  abstract = {{S}eoul orthohantavirus ({SEOV}) and pathogenic leptospires, two zoonotic agents causing similar symptoms in humans, were investigated in rat populations across several neighborhoods in {B}amako, {M}ali. {SEOV} seroprevalence in brown rats ({R}attus norvegicus) reached 14.8 %, while no infection was detected in black rats ({R}attus rattus). {P}athogenic leptospires were found in 8.7 % of brown rats, with significant inter-neighborhood variations, while only one black rat tested positive. {V}iral genetic analyses suggested that {SEOV} strains circulating in {B}amako may result from a reassortment between two {SEOV} lineages. {T}hese findings highlight the widespread distribution of {SEOV} and the localized presence of pathogenic leptospires in {B}amako, emphasizing the role of brown rats as reservoirs. {T}hese results can guide municipal authorities in implementing rodent control and prevention strategies to mitigate associated public health risks in {B}amako.},
