Assessing rodents as carriers of pathogenic Leptospira species in the US Virgin Islands and their risk to animal and public health

Camila Hamond et al.

Summary: This study found that rodents in the US Virgin Islands are carriers of Leptospira, including Mus musculus and Rattus rattus. The isolates were mainly L. borgpetersenii and L. kirschneri. These findings are important for understanding the ecoepidemiology of leptospirosis in the US Virgin Islands.

Clinical disease and treatment of Leptospira kirschneri sv Grippotyphosa in a Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae)

Joanna K. Webb et al.

Summary: This is a case report of a 12-year-old Sumatran tiger diagnosed with leptospirosis. The tiger presented with vomiting, hyporexia, and lethargy, and was treated with antimicrobials and increased biosecurity measures. The tiger remained nonclinical with no urinary shedding episodes after treatment.

Isolation of Leptospira interrogans Serovar Canicola in a Vaccinated Dog without Clinical Symptoms

Ivana Piredda et al.

Summary: Leptospirosis is a global health issue, with dogs playing a key role in transmitting the disease to humans. Vaccination is effective in reducing the severity of the disease, but vaccinated dogs can still become infected. This case highlights the importance of immunization in mitigating symptoms and the need for further research on the role of dogs in disease transmission.

Bovine Leptospirosis Due to Persistent Renal Carriage of Leptospira borgpetersenii Serovar Tarassovi

Camila Hamond et al.

Summary: This study reports the isolation of L. borgpetersenii serovar Tarassovi from the urine of a dairy cow in the U.S. for the first time. The isolate was characterized using whole-genome sequencing, serotyping, MALDI, and immunoblotting. This finding highlights the importance of culture, genotyping, and serotyping for accurate classification of leptospires and the design of effective vaccine and diagnostic strategies.

A global one health perspective on leptospirosis in humans and animals

Jane E. Sykes et al.

Summary: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, and its transmission depends on reservoir host animals, the persistence of spirochetes in the environment, and human-animal-environmental interactions. Factors such as climate change-induced flooding, changes in interactions during a pandemic, and under-recognition due to clinical similarities with COVID-19 contribute to the resurgence of leptospirosis in humans and animals. It is crucial for healthcare professionals and experts to maintain a high level of suspicion for this disease and collaborate to understand outbreaks and implement control measures.

Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Hardjo and Leptospira santarosai serogroup Pyrogenes isolated from bovine dairy herds in Puerto Rico

Camila Hamond et al.

Summary: This study isolated two different pathogenic Leptospira species from urine samples collected from dairy cows in Puerto Rico, demonstrating that dairy herds can be concurrently infected with more than one species and serovar of Leptospira. Vaccines and serologic diagnostics should account for this when applying intervention and diagnostic strategies.

Leptospira sanjuanensis sp. nov., a pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira isolated from soil in Puerto Rico

Luis G. Fernandes et al.

Summary: In this study, two spirochetes were isolated from soil samples in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Genomic analysis and serotyping revealed that these two strains represent a new species of pathogenic leptospires. This finding is significant for understanding the diversity and pathogenic mechanisms of Leptospira.
