  • Title: Microbiological and serological study of leptospirosis in horses at slaughter: first isolations.
    Author: Rocha T, Ellis WA, Montgomery J, Gilmore C, Regalla J, Brem S.
    Journal: Res Vet Sci; 2004 Jun; 76(3):199-202. PubMed ID: 15046953.
    Abstract:
    A bacteriological survey of kidneys from 145 abattoir horses was performed, which resulted in the isolation of two Leptospira strains. The isolates were serologically typed as belonging to serogroups Australis and Pomona, and REA identified them as L. interrogans serovar Bratislava and L. kirschneri serovar Tsaratsovo, respectively. These are the first Leptospira isolates obtained from horses in Portugal and the Bratislava strain is the first serogroup Australis strain to be isolated in this country. The 145 horses were also serologically tested for leptospiral antibodies, and 37% had MAT titres #10878;1:10.
