Can anybody tell me if this (or recomend a purifyer) that kills Leptospirosis? It is an infection transmitted to humans by water that has been contaminated urine of an infected animal. A high danger in the river and stream water in Hawaii (and I would think other tropical areas).

Since the MIOX does kill bacteria (http://www.cascadedesigns.com/MSR/FAQ/Water-Treatment-and-Hydration) and leptospirosis is caused by Leptospira bacteria, the MIOX should prevent leptospirosis.
