Leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease in the world and a real public health concern for many years in New Caledonia. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on domestic and wild animals from New Caledonia in April 2009. Blood samples were collected from 30 cattle, 29 deers, (Cervus timorensis russa), 25 horses, 51 dogs, and 8 cats and were tested for 23 serovars of pathogenic Leptospira species by the microscopic agglutination test. From the total number of 143 samples, 84 (58.7%) were found to be positive towards one or several serovars of pathogenic leptospires. According to the species, the positive sera were obtained from 43% of 30 cattle, 72% of 29 Rusa deer, 80% of 25 horses, and 43% of 51 dogs, and fromall of the 8 cats tested. This study shows the broad dispersion and the high prevalence of the different serogroups of pathogenic Leptospira species tested, particularly among deer and horses. The disease is endemic in domestic animals and concerns all the species.
钩端螺旋体病是一种世界范围内重要的人畜共患病，多年来一直是新喀里多尼亚真正关注的公共卫生问题。2009年4月，对新喀里多尼亚的家畜和野生动物进行了一项横断面调查。采集了30头牛、29头鹿（帝汶红鹿）、25匹马、51只狗和8只猫的血样，并通过显微镜凝集试验对23种致病性钩端螺旋体血清型进行检测。在总共143份样本中，发现84份（58.7%）对一种或几种致病性钩端螺旋体血清型呈阳性。根据动物种类，阳性血清分别来自30头牛中的43%、29头帝汶红鹿中的72%、25匹马中的80%、51只狗中的43%以及所有8只受试猫。这项研究表明，所检测的致病性钩端螺旋体不同血清群广泛分布且患病率很高，尤其是在鹿和马中。该病在家畜中呈地方性流行，涉及所有物种。
