La leptospirosis humana es una enfermedad que tiene en Cuba un comportamiento endemo-epidémico con un carácter cíclico estacional. El avance tecnológico introducido en el país ha permitido tener un mejor conocimiento del agente causal en las provincias cubanas, así como realizar intervenciones en l...
Abstract A systematic review with meta-analysis was performed to estimate the accuracy of IgM ELISA for Leptospirosis diagnosis. A search of Medline, Lilacs, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Grey literature (Google Scholar and British Library) was conducted. The medical subject ...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) are zoonotic reservoirs for Leptospira spp. and Toxoplasma gondii, and influence diseases in urban areas. METHODS: Free-ranging and laboratory-raised rats from two zoos in southern Brazil were tested for Leptospira spp. and T. gondii using micros...

A cross-sectional study using 99 serum samples of dogs from southern Chile was conducted to determine the diagnostic utility of a rapid immunochromatography assay for the detection of Leptospira specific IgM antibodies as screening test and as a potential aid in the diagnosis of leptospirosis in animals ...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Leptospirosis is an important health concern in Brazil. Currently, information on the epidemiology of the disease in the rural areas of the country is lacking. METHODS: Serological and molecular techniques were used to characterize a clinical isolate of Leptospira. RESULTS: T...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Brazilian native species are reemerging as increasingly free-ranging populations. METHODS: Sera from 31 capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) and 28 peccaries (Pecari tajacu and Tayassu pecari) were tested for anti-Leptospira and anti-Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using microsco...

We have developed a study in the Embera-Katío indigenous community and we found that the seropositivity for IgG antibodies to Leptospira spp. was 18.1%; to dengue was 61.1%; to arenavirus was 3.1% and to hantavirus was 1.5%. We conclude that this indigenous community live in conditions that promote the ...

Objetivo. Evaluar si el uso del panel de 19 cepas de leptospiras, sugerido por la Sociedad Internacional de Leptospirosis para la microaglutinación (MAT, por sus siglas en inglés), permite mayor confirmación de casos que el de 12 cepas. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional de corte transversal. ...
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution. The aim of this study was to examine the presence of antibodies against 21 Leptospira reactive serovars in Chaetophractus villosus in La Pampa province, Argentina, using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Pathologic changes compatible with lep...
Objective. To characterize current leptospirosis reporting practices in the Americas.Methods. Information was collected from the official websites of national ministries ofhealth from the Americas region and two international organizations; personal communications;and three international morbidity databa...
