Leptospirosis is an emerging zoonosis of global concern; however, its contemporary occurrence in Sweden, a European country partly located north of the Arctic Circle, is poorly known. Four out of 30 brown rats, captured within urban districts in Sweden, were found to be positive for antibodies to Leptospira interrogans serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae. This serovar causes Weil's disease in humans, a severe infection with jaundice, renal failure, and hemorrhage. Our study is the first finding of this highly pathogenic serovar in Swedish rats since the 1930s.
钩端螺旋体病是一种引起全球关注的新发人畜共患病；然而，在部分位于北极圈以北的欧洲国家瑞典，其当前的发病情况却鲜为人知。在瑞典市区捕获的30只褐鼠中，有4只被发现针对问号钩端螺旋体黄疸出血型血清型抗体呈阳性。该血清型可导致人类患韦尔氏病，这是一种伴有黄疸、肾衰竭和出血的严重感染。我们的研究是自20世纪30年代以来在瑞典大鼠中首次发现这种高致病性血清型。
