A serologic survey was made of the prevalence of common leptospiral infections in horses in California. A total of 465 serums were tested, using the microscopic agglutination method, against 5 leptospiral serotypes: Leptospira pomona, Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, Leptospira canicola, Leptospira grippotyphosa, and Leptospira hardjo. Of the serums tested, 127 (27.30%) were positive against 1 or more of the leptospires, with percentage distribution among the reactors as follows: L pomona, 12.47%; L icterohaemorrhagiae, 10.32%; L canicola, 3.22%; L grippotyphosa, 0.86%; and L hardjo, 0.43%. The prevalence of reactors to leptospiral antigens did not differ with the age or sex of the animals.
对加利福尼亚州马匹常见钩端螺旋体感染的流行情况进行了血清学调查。使用显微镜凝集法,共对465份血清进行了检测,检测对象为5种钩端螺旋体血清型:波摩那钩端螺旋体、出血性黄疸钩端螺旋体、犬钩端螺旋体、致热钩端螺旋体和哈焦钩端螺旋体。在检测的血清中,127份(27.30%)对1种或多种钩端螺旋体呈阳性反应,反应动物的百分比分布如下:波摩那钩端螺旋体,12.47%;出血性黄疸钩端螺旋体,10.32%;犬钩端螺旋体,3.22%;致热钩端螺旋体,0.86%;哈焦钩端螺旋体,0.43%。动物对钩端螺旋体抗原呈反应的流行率在年龄或性别上没有差异。
