Prophylaxis and Treatment for Leptospirosis: Where are the Evidences?
Leptospirosis is one on those many diseases which expresses itself in the form of outbreaks associated with seasonal variations like rainfall. Pathogenic organism responsible for this disease is a spirochete of genus Leptospira which exists in around 300 serovars.[3] Leptospirosis presents itself in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations frequently mimicking other diseases, so frequently it ...

Dogs play an important role as potential indicators of areas with high endemicity for leptospirosis. Thus, recognizing and preventing canine leptospirosis has implication...
متن کاملMolecular detection of pathogenic leptospiral serovars by PCR, based on lipL21 gene
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with global distribution that caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Accurate diagnosis for differentiation of leptospirosis from other pyrogenic infections prevailing in the same locality and is imperative for proper treatment. Therefore a molecular diagnostic test with high specificity and sensitivity such as PCR is essential. Gene encodi...

In 1905 the spirochete T. pallidum was discovered as the aetiologic agent of syphilis by Schaudinn and Hoffmann at the Charité Hospital in Berlin, Germany (Schaudinn & Hoffmann, 1905). This helical shaped bacterium is extremely well hidden, and also one of the best adapted to its only host – the Homo sapiens. The genome of T. pallidum ssp. pallidum contains only 1041 coding sequences and lacks ...
متن کاملDetection of pathogenic Leptospira bacteria in pinniped populations via PCR and identification of a source of transmission for zoonotic leptospirosis in the marine environment.
Leptospirosis, caused by the spirochete Leptospira, is a geographically widespread disease that affects a broad range of mammals, including marine mammals. Among pinniped populations, periodic epizootics of leptospirosis are responsible for significant die-offs. Along the west coast of North America, the most recent leptospirosis epizootic occurred in 2004, during which samples were collected f...
