Activation of Canine, Mouse and Human TLR2 and TLR4 by Inactivated Leptospira Vaccine Strains

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Canine Leptospira vaccines contain inactivated strains of pathogenic Leptospira, the causative agents of leptospirosis. For an effective response to vaccination, activation of the innate immune system via pattern recognition receptors such as TLRs is ...

Revisiting the taxonomy and evolution of pathogenicity of the genus Leptospira through the prism of genomics

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
The causative agents of leptospirosis are responsible for an emerging zoonotic disease worldwide. One of the major routes of transmission for leptospirosis is the natural environment contaminated with the urine of a wide range of reservoir animals. Soils

Genus-wide Leptospira core genome multilocus sequence typing for strain taxonomy and global surveillance

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2019
Leptospira is a highly heterogeneous bacterial genus that can be divided into three evolutionary lineages and >300 serovars. The causative agents of leptospirosis are responsible of an emerging zoonotic disease worldwide.
