The range of known occurrence of Leptospira interrogans serotype pomona is extended to Alberta in striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis); no evidence of L. sejroe was found. Reacting sera from skunks were confined to the southern portion of Alberta and adjacent Saskatchewan, although a number of reactors were found sufficiently further north in Saskatchewan suggesting that a different mode of infection may be functioning there. Of 95 skunk sera from near a dairy farm infected with serotype pomona 40% were reactors. Of 438 skunk sera from other areas only 5.7% were reactors; that difference was suggestive of transmission from cattle to skunks on the dairy farm. Of 22 skunk sera collected near the dairy farm in summer none were reactors, whereas 52% of skunk sera taken the previous and following winters were. That seasonal difference was not evident among sera from other locations.
问号钩端螺旋体波摩那群已知的发生范围扩展到了艾伯塔省的条纹臭鼬（臭鼬属）；未发现 sejroe 群的证据。臭鼬的阳性血清局限于艾伯塔省南部和相邻的萨斯喀彻温省，尽管在萨斯喀彻温省更北部发现了一些阳性反应动物，这表明在那里可能存在不同的感染方式。在一个感染了波摩那群血清型的奶牛场附近采集的 95 份臭鼬血清中，40%呈阳性反应。在其他地区采集的 438 份臭鼬血清中，只有 5.7%呈阳性反应；这种差异表明在奶牛场存在从牛到臭鼬的传播。夏季在奶牛场附近采集的 22 份臭鼬血清中无一呈阳性反应，而在前一个冬季和后一个冬季采集的臭鼬血清中有 52%呈阳性反应。这种季节差异在其他地点采集的血清中并不明显。
