Background: Leptospirosis is a zoonosis that is widespread throughout in the world, with other associated risk factors among the reservoir such as rodents, livestock, pets, environment, and climate. The prevalence of leptospirosis in Bantul District has increased in the last 3 years. In 2009 10 cases were reported, increased to 116 cases in 2010 and in 2011 reached 154 cases with a CFR of 7.8%. Cattle farming is an occupational hazard for leptospirosis. Cattle are a reservoir of leptospirosis. The cases of leptospirosis in cattle were expected to modify the effect of other risk factors on the odds of leptospirosis in the farmers. Objective: To determine the relationship between leptospirosis in cattle as well as other risk factors and leptospirosis in cattle farmer. Method: This study was conducted as an observational study with case-control design. Subjects were cattle farmers diagnosed as having leptospirosis by laboratories, hospitals, and other health care units. The dependent variable was the leptospirosis in cattle farmer. The independent variable was leptospirosis in cattle, while the potential confounder variables such as the presence of rodents in the house, presence of rodents in stalls, the habit to collect grass in wet field, habit to pasture cattle, presence of other pets, age and sex. Univariate, bivariate, multivariate, and Mantel-Haenszel odds ratio stratification statistical analysis were applied to the data obtained. All analysis used a p-value of 0,05. Result: Leptospirosis in cattle was not found to be associated significantly with leptospirosis in cattle farmer in Bantul district (p = 1.000, OR 1, 95% CI 0.38 to 2.63). The presence of rodents in the house and sex are confounder variables that affect the relationship between leptospirosis in cattle and leptospirosis in cattle farmer. There was an interaction between the presence of rodents in the house and leptospirosis in cattle to odds of leptospirosis in cattle farmer.
