Habitat preference was common, and rodent and shrew species were found only in houses or in rain-fed paddy fields or in forests. Among 649 small mammals trapped belonging to 12 rodent species and 1 shrew species, 71 of 642 animals tested were carriers of <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic> according to the 16S ribosomal RNA marker used. Rodent infection was higher in low-slope locations, corresponding to rain-fed paddy fields, especially in the rainy season and in Kaev Seima. Rodents (<jats:italic>Rattus exulans<\/jats:italic>) and shrews (<jats:italic>Suncus murinus<\/jats:italic>) inhabiting households showed significantly low levels of infections, whereas rodents living
