the epidemiology of leptospirosis and the emergence of leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea in queensland, australia, 1998-2004.leptospirosis is one of the most commonly encountered zoonoses in both australia and the rest of the world. the incidence of leptospirosis in queensland over the 7-year study period (1998-2004) was 3.1/100000 population. enhanced surveillance questionnaires were used to collect patient data and facilitate an epidemiological investigation of leptospirosis in queensland. farming occupations comprised the majority of occupational exposure cases, however, recreational exposure accounted for 18% of t ...200616690001
leptospirosis following a major flood in central queensland, australia.throughout december 2010 and january 2011, queensland experienced widespread flooding due to unusually protracted and heavy rainfalls. in mid-january 2011, four individuals from a small community in central queensland were hospitalized with leptospirosis. a further five cases were subsequently identified from around central queensland, bringing the total to nine. microscopic agglutination testing found that serovar arborea (leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea) was presumptively responsible ...201322625176
the emergence of leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea as the dominant infecting serovar following the summer of natural disasters in queensland, australia 2011.the following research reports the emergence of leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea as the dominant infecting serovar following the summer of disasters and the ensuing clean up in queensland, australia during 2011. for the 12 month period (1 january to 31 december) l. borgpetersenii serovar arborea accounted for over 49% of infections. in response to a flooding event public health officials need to issue community wide announcements warning the population about the dangers of leptospirosis ...201425134896
the emergence of leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea in queensland, australia, 2001 to 2013.leptospirosis is an emerging infectious disease, with increasing frequency and severity of outbreaks, changing epidemiology of populations at risk, and the emergence of new serovars. environmental drivers of disease transmission include flooding, urbanisation, poor sanitation, changes in land use and agricultural practices, and socioeconomic factors. in queensland, human infection with leptosira borgpetersenii serovar arborea was first reported in 2001. this study aims to report the emergence of ...201526072306
molecular epidemiology of leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea, queensland, australia, 1998-2005.leptospira borgpetersenii serovar arborea is an emerging cause of leptospirosis in australia. it was not previously recognized as an endemic serovar before the 1990s, but at that point, human infections with the serovar increased significantly. using fluorescent-amplified fragment-length polymorphism (faflp) molecular typing, human and rodent isolates were compared genetically. typing revealed 11 unique profiles among the 23 isolates examined; however, there was no clonality revealed between the ...201020889871
leptospira weilii serovar topaz, a new member of the tarassovi serogroup isolated from a bovine source in queensland, australia.this paper reports on a leptospira isolate of bovine origin and its identification as belonging to a previously unknown serovar, for which the name topaz is proposed. the isolate (94-79970/3) was cultured from bovine urine from a north queensland dairy farm in australia. strain 94-79970/3 grew at 30 degrees c in ellinghausen mccullough johnson harris (emjh) medium but failed to grow at 13 degrees c in emjh medium or in the presence of 8-azaguanine. serologically, strain 94-79970/3 produced titre ...200818842835
