Article Synopsis
- Leptospirosis, a re-emerging disease affecting both humans and dogs, was diagnosed in a study of 210 suspected dogs using MAT and PCR tests.
- The study found that 58.57% of the dogs had anti-leptospiral antibodies, with 23.33% confirmed as acutely infected, primarily influenced by factors like age, seasonal weather, outdoor exposure, and contact with rodents or wet environments.
- The identification of Leptospira interrogans in infected dogs highlights the importance of recognizing these risk factors for timely treatment and recovery strategies in canines.
