Pathogenic leptospiras (1,424) isolated from natural waters and wet soils in Malaysia comprised 29 different serovars (synonym serotypes). All except two of the serovars had been found previously in Malaysia. The exceptional serovars were werrasingha, an Autumnalis serogroup member originally isolated in Ceylon, and a new serovar designated evansi. Serovar evansi had serological affinities with serovar ranarum which was isolated from the kidney of a frog in Iowa. The large variety of serovars found in jungle areas was consistent with similar previous findings of diverse serovar infections in troops who had operated in Malaysian jungles.
从马来西亚天然水域和潮湿土壤中分离出的致病性钩端螺旋体（1424株）包含29种不同血清型（同义词：血清型）。除两种血清型外，其他所有血清型此前均在马来西亚被发现。这两种特殊的血清型分别是韦拉辛哈，它是秋季热血清群成员，最初在锡兰被分离出来；还有一种新血清型被命名为埃文斯。血清型埃文斯与从美国爱荷华州一只青蛙肾脏中分离出的血清型林蛙有血清学亲缘关系。在丛林地区发现的多种血清型与之前在马来西亚丛林中执行任务的部队中发现的不同血清型感染的类似结果一致。
