diversity of bat-associated leptospira in the peruvian amazon inferred by bayesian phylogenetic analysis of 16s ribosomal dna sequences.the role of bats as potential sources of transmission to humans or as maintenance hosts of leptospires is poorly understood. we quantified the prevalence of leptospiral colonization in bats in the peruvian amazon in the vicinity of iquitos, an area of high biologic diversity. of 589 analyzed bats, culture (3 of 589) and molecular evidence (20 of 589) of leptospiral colonization was found in the kidneys, yielding an overall colonization rate of 3.4%. infection rates differed with habitat and loca ...200516282313
monitoring of leptospirosis seroprevalence in a colony of captive collared peccaries (tayassu tajacu) from the peruvian amazon.leptospirosis, an endemic zoonoses, is maintained in the environment by several wildlife species in the peruvian amazon. in order to evaluate the possible role of collared peccaries (cp) in the maintenance this disease, two serological surveys of leptospirosis were performed and zootechnical parameters were monitored in a captive cp colony in an interval of 27 months. total seroprevalence changed from 100% (n=27) to 86.4% (n=22), with reactions to a diversity of serogroups of zoonotic importance ...200919000627
