In the Araucanía Region there are no studies on the seroprevalence of leptospirosis in horses. Serological samples from 100 draft horses from Mapuche communities of four communes in the region were analyzed using the microMAT technique. The seroprevalence was 35% for at least one serovar of Leptospira spp. being the most frequent serovars canicola (22%), grippotyphosa (21%), hardjo (13%) and pomona (10%). It was evident that the equine populations studied are exposed to infection by Leptospira spp. and reveal a potential risk of transmission to their owners.
在阿劳卡尼亚地区，尚无关于马钩端螺旋体病血清流行率的研究。使用微量凝集试验技术对该地区四个公社的马普切社区的100匹役用马的血清样本进行了分析。钩端螺旋体属至少一种血清型的血清流行率为35%，最常见的血清型是犬型（22%）、七日热型（21%）、哈焦型（13%）和波摩那型（10%）。很明显，所研究的马群暴露于钩端螺旋体属感染，并显示出向其主人传播的潜在风险。
