Twenty-two sea lions have been found dead on beaches in California, with many more found sick.
The disease can spread among animals in close contact with one another, such as at sea lion haul-outs, where they gather to mate, give birth and rest.
Many of the dead sea lions were too badly decomposed to test for leptospirosis, but the number of sick ones with the disease indicated that the dead ones likely died from the condition.," Sue Pemberton, a curatorial assistant for the California Academy of Sciences, told SFGate."They would be living on rock soft shore, and then when they die there, a high tide washes them out.
A stock image shows a dog approaching a sea lion. Such encounters can lead to the dog becoming infected with leptospirosis.Dogs may be at more risk of catching the disease if they approach a sick or dead sea lion or go into an area where the sea lions may have urinated.
