From October 1969 to January 31, 1973, an island-wide small mammal survey was conducted by the Hawaii State Department of Health in Hilo, Hawaii. A total of 2,982 rodents and mongooses from East and West Hawaii were cage-trapped and were examined by serological and cultural methods for evidence of leptospirosis. Of the 2,957 animals tested, 899 (30.4%) were culturally or serologically positive and 2058 (69.6%) were negative for evidence of leptospiral infection. Three leptospiral serotypes were isolated (L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. ballum, and L. sejroe). The incidence among animal species was compared with earlier studies on this island.
1969年10月至1973年1月31日，夏威夷州卫生部在夏威夷希洛开展了一项全岛范围的小型哺乳动物调查。来自夏威夷岛东西部的共计2982只啮齿动物和獴被关入笼中捕获，并通过血清学和培养方法检查是否有钩端螺旋体病迹象。在接受检测的2957只动物中，899只（30.4%）培养或血清学检测呈阳性，2058只（69.6%）未发现钩端螺旋体感染迹象。分离出了三种钩端螺旋体血清型（出血性黄疸钩端螺旋体、拜伦氏钩端螺旋体和赛罗群钩端螺旋体）。将此次动物物种中的发病率与该岛早期研究结果进行了比较。
