| Abstract | Although leptospirosis—a bacterial disease transmitted through contact with rodents’ urine—may be a consequence of many environmental factors, its occurrence may increase in association with floods. We analyzed some Brazilian municipalities where the number of leptospirosis cases became higher after flood episodes and a city which presented a raising number of cases through last years, highlighting the necessity of synergistic monitoring activities from health services and natural disasters monitoring centers. In conclusion, we found that the increase in the number of cases is often preceded by floods. For monitoring issues, analyzing flood data is more effective than analyzing rain data. For warning purposes, several datasets usually applied to disasters’ prevention can be also explored, addressing public health. Through the analysis of rain, temperature, rivers’ levels, vulnerability to floods and flood potential—common data in disaster monitoring centers—it is possible to expand the scope of alerts and to provide support for public health management. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
