...seropositivity of bovine leptospirosis in dairy animals and associated risk factors at the farm level. The semi-structured questionnaire was designed as per the literature and used to collect leptospirosis associated risk factors along with serum samples from eight non-vaccinated dairy herds. The collected serum samples (n=56) were examined for detection of leptospiral antibodies using the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT...

...he occurrence of porcine leptospirosis in Kaduna State, Nigeria predicated this study. The research was conducted to isolate Leptospira species from pigs. The organisms were isolated using Ellinghausen-McCullough-Johnson-Harris (EMJH) enrichment and basal medium, and identified using dark field microscopy. A total of two hundred (200) blood samples and two hundred (200) urine samples each were collected from pigs in Kaduna state, Nigeria. A total of 9 (4.5%) o...

...e kidneys as a result of leptospirosis were also analyzed. A total of fifty bovine kidney samples (n=50) were collected from four wet markets within Kota Bharu town and the samples were tested using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. From the results, thirteen samples (n=13; 26%) were found to be positive for the 16S rRNA gene. DNA sequencing of the positive samples revealed the presence of Leptospira borgpetersenii (n=11) and Leptospira interrogans (n=1...
