Genotyping Reveals Potential Sources of Human Leptospirosis Outbreaks in Aotearoa New Zealand

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 54-64, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction The introduction of PCR testing for leptospirosis in Aotearoa New Zealand has reduced the availability of serotyping data, and current diagnostic PCRs do not routinely genotype Leptospira. This study genotyped Leptospira from PCR‐confirmed human cases between 2016 and 2023 and compared them with genotypes found in animals to ...
