Cats shedding pathogenic Leptospira spp.-An underestimated zoonotic risk? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Shedding of DNA of pathogenic Leptospira spp. has been documented in naturally infected cats in several countries, but urinary shedding of infectious Leptospira spp. has only recently been proven.

Urine shedding patterns of pathogenic Leptospira spp. in dairy cows. [PDF]

Vet Res, 2023
Pathogenic Leptospira spp. are zoonotic bacteria that infect wild and domestic animals. Humans contract leptospirosis directly through contact with infected animals or indirectly from contaminated water or soil.

A Novel Breakthrough in Leptospira spp. Mutagenesis: Knockout by Combination of CRISPR/Cas9 and Non-homologous End-Joining Systems [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Leptospirosis is of general concern as it is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira, although this genus also includes free-living saprophytic strains.

Prevalence and risk factors for Leptospira spp. in dairy cattle in western Paraná, Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2023
Leptospirosis is caused by spirochete bacteria of the genus Leptospira and is considered the most widespread zoonosis worldwide. It is an important agent that causes animal production to decrease. In cattle, it affects especially the reproductive tract.

Presence of Leptospira spp. in a Mosaic of Wetlands Used for Livestock Raising under Differing Hydroclimatic Conditions. [PDF]

Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023
Wetlands are environments that are often conducive to the survival and transmission of Leptospira because they provide a suitable habitat for the bacteria and are often home to many animal species that can act as reservoirs for leptospirosis.

First isolation and genotyping of pathogenic Leptospira spp. from Austria. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Leptospirosis is a globally distributed zoonotic disease. The standard serological test, known as Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT), requires the use of live Leptospira strains.
