Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease with a worldwide distribution affecting most mammalian species. Clinical leptospirosis is common in dogs but appears to be rare in cats. Both dogs and cats, however, can shed leptospires in the urine. This is problematic as it can lead to exposure of humans. The control of leptospirosis, therefore, is important not only from an animal but also from a public health perspective. The aim of this consensus statement is to raise awareness of leptospirosis and to outline the current knowledge on the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic tools, prevention and treatment measures relevant to canine and feline leptospirosis in Europe.
钩端螺旋体病是一种人畜共患病，在全球范围内分布，影响大多数哺乳动物物种。临床钩端螺旋体病在犬类中很常见，但在猫类中似乎很少见。然而，犬类和猫类都可通过尿液排出钩端螺旋体。这是个问题，因为它可能导致人类接触感染。因此，从动物健康和公共卫生角度来看，控制钩端螺旋体病都很重要。本共识声明的目的是提高对钩端螺旋体病的认识，并概述欧洲目前关于犬猫钩端螺旋体病的流行病学、临床特征、诊断工具、预防和治疗措施的知识。
