Real-time PCR on EDTA blood targeting the gene for the major outer membrane protein lip L32 of human pathogenic
Leptospira spp.
A total of 100 samples were tested for the presence of PCV2, PPV, and
Leptospira spp.
Leptospira was also seen in peripheral blood smear.
With positive antibodies against
leptospira, 1:320, (skill of immunofluorescence), it isolated itself
Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae.
'The first phase starts two to 20 days after infection with
Leptospira,' the Merck manual informed.
Ryan, 1976 reported that
Leptospira interrogans serovars L.
We observed relative humidity between 52.2 and 84.2%, favorable throughout the year for
Leptospira spp., rainfall in the rainy season (January-May) of 308.6-124.3 mm and 37.8-1.0 mm in the non-rainy season (July-December), with a higher proportion of seropositive cases (87.1%) in the rainy season, directly proportional to increased rainfall.
Pathogenic
Leptospira species are the causative agents of leptospirosis, being spread in nature and reflecting maintenance in the kidneys of many wild and domestic reservoir hosts.
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global importance caused by the spirochete bacteria from the genus
Leptospira. Pathogenic
Leptospira inhabit the renal tubules of a wide variety of mammalian species.
Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic
Leptospira. Traditionally, the genus
Leptospira is divided into two species, namely, L.
Se detecto ademas la presencia de anticuerpos contra
Leptospira en el 23.3% de los individuos muestreados, registrandose anticuerpos contra L.
Approximately 1 month after the flood, the Louisiana Office of Public Health received notification through electronic laboratory reporting of two patients with serologic evidence of leptospirosis (immunoglobulin M antibodies to
Leptospira species).
Several animal species (synanthropic rodents, domestic livestock, and wild animals) have serological evidence of infection or are carriers for
Leptospira. The morbidity and the health impact associated with leptospirosis in livestock are expected to cause economic losses, but there are insufficient studies to properly quantify those costs.
