Reading Kevin's last post, I remember reading about Leptospirosis during the mid-eighties but never really hearing too much until the very early 90s. This prompted me to search on the net for various papers etc that might suggest why. I didn't really find anything that might suggest why it may have been overlooked. If anything, it hasn't. Its been known as a stock and agricultural workers disease for a number of years throughout the world. However, I did find this paper which I hope is of some interest.
