Leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. These bacteria can be found worldwide in soil and water. There are many strains of Leptospira bacteria that can cause disease.Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to people.Infection in people can cause flu-like symptoms and can cause liver or kidney disease.In the United States, most cases of human leptospirosis result from recreational activities involving water.eptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to people.

The Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) is a daily simulation model which outputs average soil loss and deposition values for selected areas and periods of time. It is applicable to just one field, or can be applied to a few adjacent fields.
PART one concerns basics of the erosion process. in terms of particle dynamics, threshold condiÂ­. tions, particle flux, and the protective role of nonerodible. elements. Part two is a procedure for evaluating wind-. erosion effects on soil loss and, subsequently, on crop. yields. In the procedure, a wind-erosion equation is used. to predict potential annual loss, which is converted. to crop-yield reduction per centimeter of erosion for. wheat, grain sorghum, and corn.
