We developed an evidence gap map (EGM) on prevention, control and management of leptospirosis in India to inform research priorities. The EGM framework was developed in consultation with stakeholders and noted key parameters to influence state and national level research priorities. We searched six electronic databases and three relevant websites and included 27 studies (humans, 23; animals, 4; both, 0). Most studies (17\/27 [63%]) were from three high-burden states. Controlled clinical trials (non-randomised, 6\/27 [22%]; randomised, 2\/27 [7%]) and pre\u2013post studies (6\/27 [22%]) suitable for evaluating interventions were sparse. Only 26% studies (6\/23 human studies) included high-risk groups like animal caretakers, tribal people, relief\/sanitation workers, pregnant women and people from slums. Nearly 56% of studies (15\/27) evaluated pharmacological interventions at an individual level. Community-level interventions were limited (4\/27 [15%]) with no studies on vaccination, personal protection, antibiotic policy or water, sanitation and hygiene interventions. Health systems and policy or multicomponent studies were rare (5\/27 [19%]) with no reporting of key outcomes like healthcare coverage, quality of care and other relevant outcomes to evaluate interventions. There is a need for prioritising research to evaluate prevention and control interventions, including the One Health approach. Embedding national-level EGMs for research prioritisation exercises should be considered.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/trstmh\/trab036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,13]],"date-time":"2021-02-13T15:51:58Z","timestamp":1613231518000},"page":"1353-1361","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Prevention, control and management of leptospirosis in India: an evidence gap map"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"Deepti","family":"Beri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"George Institute for Global Health, 308\u2013309, Third Floor, Elegance Tower, Plot No. 8, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandeep","family":"Moola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Institute for Global Health, 308\u2013309, Third Floor, Elegance Tower, Plot No. 8, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jagnoor","family":"Jagnoor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Institute for Global Health, 308\u2013309, Third Floor, Elegance Tower, Plot No. 8, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Salam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Institute for Global Health, 308\u2013309, Third Floor, Elegance Tower, Plot No. 8, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Soumyadeep","family":"Bhaumik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"George Institute for Global Health, 308\u2013309, Third Floor, Elegance Tower, Plot No. 8, Jasola District Centre, New Delhi 110025, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"2021120506560227200_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"757","DOI":"10.1016\/S1473-3099(03)00830-2","article-title":"Leptospirosis: a zoonotic disease of global importance","volume":"3","author":"Bharti","year":"2003","journal-title":"Lancet Infect Dis"},{"key":"2021120506560227200_bib2","article-title":"Leptospirosis","author":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"},{"issue":"2","key":"2021120506560227200_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"296","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.14.2.296-326.2001","article-title":"Leptospirosis","volume":"14","author":"Levett","year":"2001","journal-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev"},{"key":"2021120506560227200_bib4","article-title":"Leptospirosis \u2013 current scenario in India.
