Article Synopsis
- Leptospira species are globally distributed, predominantly in tropical areas, and can infect various animals; they are primarily spread through urine, though some species, like horses, may also harbor the bacteria in their reproductive tract.
- A study was conducted on 50 healthy non-breeding mares to investigate leptospiral infection via serum and endometrial swabs, in addition to urine samples where available.
- The study revealed a 48% seroprevalence of leptospirosis with the most common serovars being Arborea, Bratislava, and Australis, while PCR testing found low positivity in endometrial and urine samples, marking the first identification of serovar Bratislava in Australian horses.
