Canine leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Leptospira. Dogs are one of animal species involved in cycle preservation and transmission urban areas. Serological testing for presence specific antibodies against Leptospira spp. dogs was continuously performed between 2010 2020 city Belgrade. At request owners themselves, other veterinary laboratories or laboratory ...

L eptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by infection with the spirochete bacterium Leptospira inteTragons.L. interrogans is further divided on the basis of antigenic relatedness into serogroupsand serovars. Approximately 200 different serovars of L. interrogans have been identified, and within a geographic region, certain serovars are prevalent and becomeadapted to a particular ma...

leptospirosis is an important infectious disease of animals and humans caused by the pathogenicleptospires which are classified into one species of leptospira interrogans containing over 212 serovars. thisstudy was conducted to determine the prevalence of leptospira-induced abortions in tabriz (north-west ofiran) dairy herds and to determine the pathogenic leptospira serovars responsible. from ...

Equine leptospirosis has been associated with abortions, renal failure and uveitis, which constitutes a health economic problem. However, it is generally asymptomatic, makes this disease of little interest in equines comparison other domestic wild species. At present, the real epidemiological situation unknown; just as develops these animals. A search scientific literature was carried out; obje...

Twenty-five clinical isolates of Leptospira spp were characterized by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and pulsed field gel-electrophoresis (PFGE) in comparison with 23 reference Leptospira serovars and with the saprophytic L. biflexa serovar Patoc. PFGE DNA profiling was more specific and reliable than MAT.

Background: Leptospirosis has a worldwide distribution with high social and economic impact. It is caused by a variety of Leptospira spp. serovars, particularly in tropical regions. Various species of animals can be affected by Leptospira spp. including cattle, horses, sheep, goats and swine, and can act as a reservoir for human infection. In Brazil, sheep leptospirosis has been diagnosed in a ...

Leptospirosis is a bacterial zoonosis in which dogs can act as a reservoir for human infection. The annual vaccination of dogs can prevent leptospirosis caused by serovars included in the vaccine. To date, all available vaccines in Germany include only the serovars Icterohaemorrhagiae and Canicola, the most commonly found serovars prior to the introduction of the leptospirosis vaccines. Yet, th...

Leptospira interrogans serovar Bataviae was recently identified as one of the persistent Leptospira serovars in Malaysia. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the L. interrogans serovar Bataviae strain LepIMR 22 isolated from kidney of a rodent in Johor, Malaysia.

The proportion of positive Leptospira microscopic agglutination tests for 23,005 dogs significantly increased from 2002 to 2004 (p < 0.002) regardless of the positive cutoff titer used and was highest (p < 0.05) for serovars Autumnalis and Grippotyphosa. The strongest positive serologic correlation (r = 0.72) was between serovars Autumnalis and Pomona.

Leptospirosis is a common disease of livestock, pet many countries for cattle, dogs and swine but vaccination may animals and wildlife throughout the world. Sporadic cases and prove only partially effective due to generation of serovar outbreaks of the disease have been reported from USA, U.K, specific immunity, prevalence of several Leptospira serovars Australia, New Zealand, USSR and countrie...
