Bovine endometrial cells do not mount an inflammatory response to Leptospira

Reproduction and Fertility, 2021
Leptospirosis causes abortion, premature birth, and stillbirth in cattle, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Infected cattle shed Leptospira intermittently and present a range of clinical symptoms, making diagnosis difficult.

The technical and practical implementation of fundus photography in equids

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Fundus photography is an important diagnostic tool in human and veterinary medicine. Advances in research are increasing its accessibility in human medicine. However, there is a lack of studies on modern fundus photography in animals, particularly in horses. Objectives To assess the use of a portable fundus camera developed for human

New Insights on Leptospira Infections in a Canine Population from North Sardinia, Italy: A Sero-Epidemiological Study

Biology, 2021
Simple Summary Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonosis caused by pathogenic spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira. Pathogenic leptospires live in the kidneys of different mammalian species and are excreted in the environment with the urine.

Seroprevalence of equine leptospirosis in Poland (2019–2023)

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Leptospirosis in horses is associated with various clinical signs, potentially leading to fatal outcomes. Additionally, the disease may pose a zoonotic risk to individuals involved in handling infected animals. Implementing a serological monitoring programme in the equine population is one of the key tools used to reduce the risk of

Distribution of Anti-leptospira Antibodies in the Sera of Patients Suspected Leptospirosis

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2015
Background and Objective: Leptospirosis is a zoonosis infectious disease that is prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions and is caused by the pathogenic serovars of leptospires. Hence, we aimed at investigating the prevalence of antibodies against

The First Molecular Screening of Equine Leptospiral Infection in Iran [PDF]

Veterinary and Comparative Biomedical Research
Leptospira is one of the spiral-shaped Gram-negative bacteria, which includes pathogenic (Leptospira interrogans) and non-pathogenic (Leptospira biflexa) species. This bacterium is zoonotic and is scattered all over the world.

Identification of pathogenic Leptospira species and serovars in New Zealand using metabarcoding

PLoS ONE, 2021
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of global importance. The breadth of Leptospira diversity associated with both human and animal disease poses major logistical challenges to the use of classical diagnostic techniques, and increasingly molecular ...

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Pregnancy Loss and Their Association With Reproductive and Growth Traits in Brahman Cattle Under Extensive Tropical Conditions

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study estimated genetic parameters for pregnancy loss (PL) in Brahman cattle and evaluated the genetic correlation of PL with growth and reproductive traits using both the pedigree relationship matrix (A) and pedigree plus genomic relationship matrix (H). Data were collected from two herds in Bolivia, focusing on three age groups: heifers,

Molecular detection of pathogenic leptospiral serovars by PCR, based on lipL21 gene

Archives of Razi Institute, 2015
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 ...
