Serological and molecular detection of Leptospira spp in dogs [PDF]

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2018
This study aimed to detect anti-Leptospira spp antibodies and Leptospira DNA in domestic dogs.Blood and urine from 106 dogs were evaluated by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), respectively.Six (5.7%) and one (1%) animals were positive by MAT and PCR, respectively.These results show a low prevalence of infection ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.
Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Dengue virus infected patients can generate false positives in the ‘gold standard’ Leptospira spp. microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and IgG- and IgM- antibody specific immunofluorescence and protein (Western) immunoblot assays due to cross-reactions with their outer surface membrane proteins: Public health concern

Journal of Infection and Public Health
Background: The dengue viruses (DENVs) and Leptospira spp. both cause large numbers of human infections and fatalities within their widely overlapping distributions, thereby requiring differential diagnoses for appropriate patient therapies.

Fatal Leptospira spp./Zika Virus Coinfection—Puerto Rico, 2016 [PDF]

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2017
Coinfection with pathogens that cause acute febrile illness (AFI) can complicate patient diagnosis and management. This report describes a fatal case of Leptospira spp./Zika virus (ZIKV) coinfection in Puerto Rico. The patient presented with a 5-day history of AFI; reported behavioral risk factors for leptospirosis; was diagnosed with possible ...
