In a wet forest area of Ghana a serological survey of antibodies against 24 leptospira strains was carried out; 460 sera were obtained, of which 153 (33%) were positive. Bush farmers and cocoa plantation labourers showed 39% positive reactions and can be identified as high-risk groups. A reactivity rate of 14% was found among students, hospital staff and clerical occupations. No difference was observed between males and females, probably because both sexes are equally exposed. Cross-reactivity to different serovars was common.
在加纳的一个潮湿森林地区，针对24种钩端螺旋体菌株进行了抗体血清学调查；共采集了460份血清，其中153份（33%）呈阳性。林区农民和可可种植园工人的阳性反应率为39%，可被确定为高危人群。在学生、医院工作人员和文职人员中发现的反应率为14%。未观察到男性和女性之间存在差异，这可能是因为两性接触程度相同。对不同血清型的交叉反应很常见。
