Occurrence of uterine carriers for Leptospira interrogans on slaughtered cows [PDF]

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2018
Reproductive tract is an important site of infection for chronic leptospirosis and cooperate in pathogenesis of reproductive failure, leading to economic losses. Since serology techniques cannot detect chronic carriers, the molecular analysis of clinical samples is an alternative to detect these animals on livestock. The aim of the present study was to

Mathematical Modeling of Leptospirosis With Misdiagnosis

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic bacterial disease that continues to pose a major public health challenge, particularly in developing countries where it causes substantial morbidity, mortality, and economic losses. A key problem in controlling the disease is misdiagnosis, which delays appropriate treatment and facilitates continued transmission ...
