The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) used for the serological diagnosis of leptospirosis, as a robust and inexpensive method, is still reality in many laboratories worldwide. Both performance interpretation MAT vary from region to region, making standardization difficult. prediction probable infecting serogroup using this indispensable elucidating epidemiology disease; however, veterinary medicine, studies consider any reaction detected with titer 100, which may ultimately overestimate...
In the current context of deforestation and fire in Amazon, buffaloes could be a cost-effective sustainable alternative for cattle production region, as they can convert low-quality foods raised floodplain areas. However, little is known about reproductive diseases that affect these animals; thus, purpose this study was to perform molecular characterization Leptospira spp. urogenital tract water (Bubalus bubalis) Amazon River Delta region Brazil. Samples were collected from 114 kidneys, 204...
The isolation of Leptospira is challenging, since the bacteria this genus are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions and may not remain viable for extend periods in urine samples. This study attempted develop evaluate a simple practical method isolate leptospires from bovine A culture medium sample transport, named Transport Medium (LTM), was described validated using reference serovars spp. addition autochthonous strains isolated Brazil. We evaluated LTM field, by collecting 215...
Changes were made to the original formulation of EMJH medium (Ellinghausen–McCullough–Johnson–Harris) enrichment and some aspects such as growth time Leptospira utilization in microscopic agglutination test (MAT) evaluated compared a commercially available (DIFCO™). samples (24 antigens) that make up our panel antigens used MAT used, among them, reference autochthonous strains isolated Brazil. The grown individually under three previously mentioned conditions (adapted enrichment, commercial...
OBJECTIVE: Leptospirosis and toxoplasmosis are cosmopolitan zoonoses affecting domestic wild animals that can inhabit urban environments acting as reservoirs of infectious agents, increasing the risk zoonotic diseases transmission to humans. The present study aimed detect serum antibodies Leptospira spp. Toxoplasma gondii in captive from Zoobotanical Park, located city Petrolina, State Pernambuco, Brazil. METHODS: Samples were collected 72 animals, including 12 mammals, 26 birds, reptiles....
It is challenging to obtain pure cultures of Leptospira from environmental samples, mainly due the presence accompanying microbiota that can contaminate cultures, highlighting bacteria genus Spirillum have characteristics similar leptospires. Thus, cannot be eliminated by most common decontamination techniques during leptospires isolation process. The purpose this study was evaluate five methods mixed samples with spp. We collected ten untreated domestic sewage dumped streets in Macapa city...
