ABSTRACT.- Cordeiro F., Sulzer C.R. & Ramos A.A. 1981. [Leptospira interrogans in several wildlife species in southeast Brazil.] Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 1(1):19-29. Proj. Sanidade Animal, Embrapa/UFRRJ, Seropédica, RJ 23890-000, Brazil.
A leptospiral host-serovar relationship in Southeast Brazil is described. Of the 43 animal species examined, 8, of the Orders Rodentia and Marsupialia, were identified as carriers of leptospires. The serovar pomona was found in 6 of the 8 carrier species. The “four-eyed” opossum (Philander opossum) has been shown to be a carrier of the serovars ballum and grippotyphosa. The serovar australis was found in a water rat (Nectomys squamipes). The serovar mangus, of the serogroup Panama, was found in an opossum (Didelphis albiventris). |
