Conservation of the S10-spc-alpha locus within otherwise highly plastic genomes provides phylogenetic insight into the genus Leptospira. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 S10-spc-alpha is a 17.5 kb cluster of 32 genes encoding ribosomal proteins. This locus has an unusual composition and organization in Leptospira interrogans.

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.

Characterization of the periplasmic flagellum proteins of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1992 The structure and composition of periplasmic flagella (PF) from Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona type kennewicki were characterized. Electron microscopic observations showed that leptospiral PF were complex structures composed of an 11.3-nm-diameter core surrounded by two sheath layers with 21.5- and 42-nm diameters.

Proteome Analysis of Leptospira interrogans Virulent Strain [PDF]
The Open Microbiology Journal, 2009 Leptospirosis is a worldwide zoonotic infection of human and veterinary concern. Caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira , the disease presents greater incidence in tropical and subtropical regions.

Visual proteomics of the human pathogen Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Nature Methods, 2009 Systems biology conceptualizes biological systems as dynamic networks of interacting elements, whereby functionally important properties are thought to emerge from the structure of such networks. Owing to the ubiquitous role of complexes of interacting proteins in biological systems, their subunit composition and temporal and spatial arrangement within

Human Leptospirosis on Reunion Island, Indian Ocean: Are Rodents the (Only) Ones to Blame?
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016 BackgroundAlthough leptospirosis is a zoonosis of major concern on tropical islands, the molecular epidemiology of the disease aiming at linking human cases to specific animal reservoirs has been rarely explored within these peculiar ecosystems ...

Axial filament involvement in the motility of Leptospira interrogans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 Motility mutants of Leptospira interrogans serovar illini were isolated and analyzed by dark-field and electron microscopy. Mutants were obtained by screening for small colonies after nitrosoguanidine treatment. One class of mutants did not have hook- or spiral-shaped ends. In addition, the axial filaments from these mutants were not coiled.
