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
human leptospirosis caused by a new, antigenically unique leptospira associated with a rattus species reservoir in the peruvian amazon.as part of a prospective study of leptospirosis and biodiversity of leptospira in the peruvian amazon, a new leptospira species was isolated from humans with acute febrile illness. field trapping identified this leptospire in peridomestic rats (rattus norvegicus, six isolates; r. rattus, two isolates) obtained in urban, peri-urban, and rural areas of the iquitos region. novelty of this species was proven by serological typing, 16s ribosomal rna gene sequencing, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, ...200818382606
