In order to establish the leptospira carrier rate of small animals in an urban environment, small rodents and shrews were captured in the city of Zurich, Switzerland. Kidney specimens of 190 animals were examined using a leptospira specific PCR assay. Leptospiral DNA was amplified in kidneys of 12.6% of the animals.
为确定城市环境中小动物的钩端螺旋体携带率,在瑞士苏黎世市捕获了小型啮齿动物和鼩鼱。使用钩端螺旋体特异性PCR检测法对190只动物的肾脏标本进行了检测。在12.6%的动物肾脏中扩增出了钩端螺旋体DNA。
