Are Small Animal Practitioners Occupationally Exposed to Leptospirosis? Results of a Serological Survey

Elisa Mazzotta et al.

Summary: Leptospirosis, a zoonotic disease primarily affecting dogs, was investigated for human exposure in the northeast of Italy. The study found that veterinarians were not at a higher risk of contracting the disease compared to the general population, likely due to their awareness of the zoonotic risk and effective preventive measures. Additionally, symptomatic dogs were found to have low levels of Leptospira excretion, suggesting their role as environmental sentinels rather than transmission vehicles.

Canine leptospirosis in stray and sheltered dogs: a systematic review

Anna Cecilia Trolesi Reis Borges Costa et al.

Summary: This systematic review investigated the prevalence of leptospirosis among stray and sheltered dogs worldwide. The results showed that Leptospira spp. are present in unowned dogs globally, with the highest prevalence observed in the Americas. The most commonly used diagnostic test was the microscopic agglutination test, and the most common serovars were Canicola, Icterohaemorrhagiae, Grippotyphosa, and Pomona.

Influence of Season, Population and Individual Characteristics on the Prevalence of Leptospira spp. in Bank Voles in North-West Germany

Elisabeth Schmidt et al.

Summary: Leptospirosis is a global emerging zoonotic disease with varying clinical symptoms in humans. This study in Germany found a prevalence rate of 7.5% for pathogenic Leptospira species in bank voles. The risk of individual infection in bank voles depended on factors like season, body weight, and abundance, highlighting the potential source of infection for humans.

Environmental Exposure of Wild Carnivores to Zoonotic Pathogens: Leptospira Infection in the First Free Living Wolf (Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758) Found Dead in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region

Marco Bregoli et al.

Summary: A young grey wolf in northeastern Italy was found to be infected with Leptospira during a necropsy, marking the first reported case of Leptospira-induced pathology in a wolf in Europe. This finding highlights the importance of conducting surveys on Leptospira infection in free-ranging wildlife species to further understand the circulation of the pathogen.

Exposure of Free-Ranging Wild Animals to Zoonotic Leptospira interrogans Sensu Stricto in Slovenia

Diana Zele-Vengust et al.

Summary: This study in Slovenia found that various wildlife species were exposed to Leptospira interrogans, which could serve as a sentinel for leptospirosis, a significant health threat to both wildlife and humans. Multiple pathogenic serovars were confirmed in wildlife throughout Slovenia, indicating that wild animals may be reservoirs for some leptospiral serovars and potential sources of leptospirosis for other animals and humans.
