AI Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 1527 serum samples from various animals in Greece, finding that 11-8% had antibodies against Leptospira serovars with titres of 1/100 or more.
- The most common serovar in farm animals was Bratislava, while Copenhageni was frequently found in dogs and ranked second overall.
- Antibodies to the serovar Australis were also prevalent, but Pomona antibodies were only detected in goats and cattle.
Article Abstract
A total of 1527 serum samples from pigs, goats, sheep, cattle and dogs in Greece were examined by the microscopic agglutination test and 11-8 per cent of them had antibodies against one or more Leptospira serovars at titres of 1/100 or more. The predominant serovar affecting farm animal species was Bratislava, and Copenhageni was common among dogs and the second most important serovar when all animals were considered together. Another prevalent serovar was Australis, but antibodies to Pomona were detected only in goats and cattle.

Leptospiroz, insan ve hayvanları etkileyen, Antarktika hariç tüm kıtalarda bulunan ve Leptospira cinsi spiroketlerin neden olduğu zoonotik bir enfeksiyon hastalığıdır. Salgınlara yol açabilmesi nedeniyle halk sağlığı açısından önemli bir hastalıktır. Bu çalışmada; kliniğimizde leptospiroz tanısıyla izlenen 11 olgunun, epidemiyolojik özellikleri, saptanan etkenler, klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları açısından retrospektif olarak değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

is a bacteria responsible for a widespread zoonosis that affects both humans and animals. Leptospirosis is a challenging pathology to diagnose and treat since its signs are unspecific and symptoms vary greatly. The disease seems to be highly prevalent in environments where reservoir animals such as rats and small mammals are common.

Background: Leptospirosis is an acute zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic , primarily transmitted to humans through contact with water or soil contaminated by the bacteria. It is globally distributed, with heightened prevalence in tropical regions. While prior studies have examined the pathophysiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of leptospirosis, few have explored trends and emerging topics in the field.

Background And Aim: Leptospirosis is an infectious zoonotic disease that significantly affects animal health, particularly the reproduction of ruminants. However, some aspects of epidemiology and clinical characteristics have not been clarified. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and identify risk factors of leptospirosis in female bovines at reproductive age in the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest.
