Mouse Model for Sublethal Leptospira interrogans Infection [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2015 ABSTRACT Although Leptospira can infect a wide range of mammalian species, most studies have been conducted in golden Syrian hamsters, a species particularly sensitive to acute disease. Chronic disease has been well characterized in the rat, one of the natural reservoir hosts.

Risk factors for human acute leptospirosis in northern Tanzania [PDF]
, 2018 Introduction: Leptospirosis is a major cause of febrile illness in Africa but little is known about risk factors for human infection. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate risk factors for acute leptospirosis and Leptospira ...

Unique organization of Leptospira interrogans rRNA genes [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1989 We cloned Sau3AI fragments containing the rRNA genes for Leptospira interrogans serovar canicola strain Moulton in the BamHI site of lambda EMBL3 bacteriophage DNA. Physical maps of the fragments were constructed, and the locations of the rRNA genes were determined by Southern blot hybridization and S1 protection.

Leptospira interrogans Binds to Cadherins
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Leptospirosis, caused by pathogenic species of Leptospira, is the most widespread zoonosis and has emerged as a major public health problem worldwide. The adhesion of pathogenic Leptospira to host cells, and to extracellular matrix (ECM) components, is likely to be necessary for the ability of leptospires to penetrate, disseminate and persist in ...

Glycolipoprotein Cytotoxin from Leptospira interrogans serovar copenhageni [PDF]
Microbiology, 1986 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), glycolipoprotein (GLP) and lipid extract were prepared from Leptospira interrogans serovar copenhageni. GLP, lipid extract or purified fatty acids from lipid extract produced cytotoxic effects seen as cell enzyme leakage followed by cytotoxic death when tested in mouse fibroblast L929 cells in tissue culture. All extracts also

Leptospira Interrogans induces fibrosis in the mouse kidney through Inos-dependent, TLR- and NLR-independent signaling pathways. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND: Leptospira (L.) interrogans are bacteria responsible for a worldwide reemerging zoonosis. Rodents carry L. interrogans asymptomatically in their kidneys and excrete bacteria in the urine, contaminating the environment.

Advances and challenges in barcoding pathogenic and environmental Leptospira [PDF]
, 2017 Leptospirosis is a zoonotic bacterial disease of global importance. A large spectrum of asymptomatic animal hosts can carry the infection and contribute to the burden of human disease.
