A stochastic spreadsheet model was developed to assess the daily risk of exposure of eviscerators, meat inspectors and offal handlers to live leptospires in sheep carcasses from May to November 2004 (high-risk period), and from December 2004 to June 2005 (low-risk period). The average sheep processed per day were 225 for an eviscerator, 374 for a meat inspector, and 1123 for an offal handler. The median daily exposures during high- and low-risk periods were 11 [95% distribution interval (DI) 5\u201319] and three (95% DI 1\u20138) infected carcasses\/day for eviscerators, 18 (95% DI 9\u201329) and six (95% DI 2\u201312) for meat inspectors, and 54 (95% DI 32\u201383) and 18 (95% DI 8\u201331) for offal handlers, respectively. Stochastic risk modelling provided evidence that processing of sheep carcasses exposed meat workers regularly to live leptospires with substantial seasonal variation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268810002049","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,15]],"date-time":"2010-09-15T14:19:41Z","timestamp":1284560381000},"page":"797-806","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Assessment of occupational exposure to leptospirosis in a sheep-only abattoir"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"139","author":[{"given":"S.","family":"DORJEE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C.","family":"HEUER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"JACKSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.
