  • Title: Isolations of Leptospira interrogans serovars hardjo, balcanica, and pomona from cattle at slaughter.
    Author: White FH, Sulzer KR, Engel RW.
    Journal: Am J Vet Res; 1982 Jul; 43(7):1172-3. PubMed ID: 7103197.
    Abstract:
    Kidneys were cultured for leptospires and blood was collected for leptospiral serologic examination from 306 cattle slaughtered in Florida during June, July, and August 1980. Leptospires were found in 82(36%) of 226 otherwise bacterial-free cultures. Forty-five isolates were identified as Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo, 3 as serovar balcanica, and 3 as serovar pomona. Leptospiral antibodies were found in 218 (71%) of the cattle. Serum titers to hardjo were found in 162 cattle (53%) and to pomona in 28 (9%). Low titers to tarassovi were found in 14 cattle (4.5%).
