This study aimed to detect anti-Leptospira spp antibodies and Leptospira DNA in domestic dogs.
Blood and urine from 106 dogs were evaluated by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), respectively.
Six (5.7%) and one (1%) animals were positive by MAT and PCR, respectively.
These results show a low prevalence of infection by Leptospira spp. The absence of positive results for the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup indicates the small relevance of these dogs as sources of human leptospirosis.
本研究旨在检测家犬体内的抗钩端螺旋体属抗体和钩端螺旋体DNA。
分别采用显微镜凝集试验（MAT）和聚合酶链反应（PCR）对106只犬的血液和尿液进行评估。
MAT和PCR检测分别有6只（5.7%）和1只（1%）动物呈阳性。
这些结果表明钩端螺旋体属感染的患病率较低。出血性黄疸型血清群未出现阳性结果，表明这些犬作为人类钩端螺旋体病传染源的相关性较小。
