Marquesas Islands, within the French Polynesian territory, are situated in the south hemisphere, near the Equator. They are volcanic islands, with a humid and hot climate, and high hygrometry . These islands are relatively isolated. Our sera were collected at the occasion of a blood test campaign: in Taiohae , 104 people, and Atuona , 149 people; they were between 17 and 57 years old. The results show that 45 people have antibodies against L. biflexa Patoc (17,8%). Among them, 24 have antibodies against icterohaemorrhagiae (9,5%). This is the evidence of the presence of leptospires in these islands.
马克萨斯群岛位于法属波利尼西亚境内，地处南半球，靠近赤道。它们是火山岛，气候湿热，湿度较大。这些岛屿相对孤立。我们的血清是在一次血液检测活动中采集的：在泰奥哈埃采集了104人的血清，在阿托纳采集了149人的血清；这些人年龄在17岁至57岁之间。结果显示，45人有针对双曲钩端螺旋体帕托克型的抗体（17.8%）。其中，24人有针对出血性黄疸型的抗体（9.5%）。这证明了这些岛屿上存在钩端螺旋体。
