Abstract
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis with a worldwide distribution, which is transmitted through direct contact with infected animals or by contact with contaminated water or soil. Objectives was to examine the presence of antibodies against 23 serogroups of Leptospira in Lagostomus maximus and Chaetopractus villosus in La Pampa province, Argentina. Ninety-four serum samples from L. maximus (80) and C. villosus (14) were taken. The samples were analysed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Only 5/94 (5.3 %) serum samples presented antibodies against Leptospira sp. Three (21.4 %) serum samples from C. villosus, were reactive to the serogroups, Ballum, Grippotyphosa, Canicola and Celledoni, and two samples (2.5 %) of L. maximus to Pomona, Canicola and Ballum. This constitutes the first record of the presence of antibodies serogroup Celledoni in C. villosus and serogroups Pomona, Canicola and Ballum in L. maximus in Argentina.
期刊介绍:
Comparative Immunology, Microbiology & Infectious Diseases aims to respond to the concept of "One Medicine" and to provide a venue for scientific exchange. Based on the concept of "Comparative Medicine" interdisciplinary cooperation between specialists in human and animal medicine is of mutual interest and benefit. Therefore, there is need to combine the respective interest of physicians, veterinarians and other health professionals for comparative studies relevant to either human or animal medicine .
The journal is open to subjects of common interest related to the immunology, immunopathology, microbiology, parasitology and epidemiology of human and animal infectious diseases, especially zoonotic infections, and animal models of human infectious diseases. The role of environmental factors in disease emergence is emphasized. CIMID is mainly focusing on applied veterinary and human medicine rather than on fundamental experimental research.
