Seroprevalence And Titer Concentration Testing For Leptospirosis In Equine, Ashley Himmelsbaugh
Seroprevalence And Titer Concentration Testing For Leptospirosis In Equine, Ashley Himmelsbaugh
Honors College Theses
The most common best management practice used to combat diseases in horses is vaccination, which can decrease the incidence or severity of illness. However, the duration of immunity will vary for each vaccination and must be considered for revaccination purposes. Titer concentration, which evaluates antibodies in the blood, may be a helpful way of determining how long an animal has immunity to a disease. Leptospirosis, a zoonotic, bacterial disease, can result in uveitis, potentially leading to blindness, and abortion in mares. One serovar, Leptospirosis pomona (L. pomona), is associated with most cases of clinical disease in horses in North America. …
An Assessment Of The Carrier State And A Novel Marker Of Leptospira And Abortion In Central Kentucky Horses, Gloria Louise Gellin
An Assessment Of The Carrier State And A Novel Marker Of Leptospira And Abortion In Central Kentucky Horses, Gloria Louise Gellin
Theses and Dissertations--Veterinary Science
Leptospirosis is a reemerging zoonotic infection of worldwide importance and affects all mammals. The bacterium is transmitted to animals and humans by urine, fetal membranes and body fluids. Leptospira shedding in the urine contaminates both soil and water, exposing both humans and animals to the bacterium. Leptospirosis in horses can cause abortion and is one of the etiologies of equine recurrent uveitis which can lead to blindness. Equine leptospiral abortion in Central Kentucky is primarily caused by serovar Pomona, with occasional cases attributed to serovar Grippotyphosa. There are a few reports in the literature attributing abortion to serovar Bratislava in …
Detección Serológica Y Por Campo Oscuro De Leptospira Spp. En Yeguas Criollas Colombianas Ubicadas En Predios Del Departamento De Cundinamarca, María Alexandra Dangond Malkún, Karol Joan Gutiérrez Morales
Detección Serológica Y Por Campo Oscuro De Leptospira Spp. En Yeguas Criollas Colombianas Ubicadas En Predios Del Departamento De Cundinamarca, María Alexandra Dangond Malkún, Karol Joan Gutiérrez Morales
Medicina Veterinaria
Para establecer la presentación de Leptospira spp., en equinos del departamento de Cundinamarca se realizó un muestreo a conveniencia en 36 predios de 15 municipios. Se recolectaron muestras de sangre y orina de 169 yeguas criollas colombianas. Las muestras de sangre para el análisis de sueros fueron recolectadas por punción en la vena yugular y las muestras de orina se recolectaron, por medio de sonda urinaria y la ayuda de un espéculo, en tubos falcón de 50 ml con 7,5 ml de solución amortiguadora de fosfatos (SSAF) según protocolo Hernández-Rodríguez et al., 2011. También se realizó una encuesta epidemiológica para …
Widespread Detection Of Antibodies To Leptospira In Feral Swine In The United States, K. K. Pedersen, K. L. Pabilonia, T. D. Anderson, S. N. Bevins, C. R. Hicks, J. M. Kloft, Thomas J. Deliberto
Widespread Detection Of Antibodies To Leptospira In Feral Swine In The United States, K. K. Pedersen, K. L. Pabilonia, T. D. Anderson, S. N. Bevins, C. R. Hicks, J. M. Kloft, Thomas J. Deliberto

As feral swine continue to expand their geographical range and distribution across the United States, their involvement in crop damage, livestock predation, and pathogen transmission is likely to increase. Despite the relatively recent discovery of feral swine involvement in the aetiology of a variety of pathogens, their propensity to transmit and carry a wide variety of pathogens is disconcerting. We examined sera from 2055 feral swine for antibody presence to six serovars of Leptospira that can also infect humans, livestock or domestic animals. About 13% of all samples tested positive for at least one serovar, suggesting that Leptospira infection is …
Surveillance Of Selected Diseases In Free-Ranging Elk (Cervus Elaphus Nelsoni) In Nebraska, 1995-2009, Michael A. Cover, Scott E. Hygnstrom, David W. Oates, Kit M. Hams, Kurt C. Vercauteren
Surveillance Of Selected Diseases In Free-Ranging Elk (Cervus Elaphus Nelsoni) In Nebraska, 1995-2009, Michael A. Cover, Scott E. Hygnstrom, David W. Oates, Kit M. Hams, Kurt C. Vercauteren
Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences
Sera samples were collected from 21 free-ranging, captured female elk (Cervus elaphus nelsoni) in 1995- 96, and tissue and sera samples were collected from 415 hunter-harvested elk from 1995 to 2006 and tested for selected diseases. Titers for Anaplasma marginale were detected in 81 of 436 (19%) elk. Occurrence of antibodies to anaplasmosis increased from 4 to 40 elk from 2002 to 2006. Titers for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) were detected in 18 of 346 (5%) samples. Titers for Leptospira interrogans serovars were detected in 21 of 289 (7%) of samples from 1995 to 2004. Titers for …

Prevalencia De Leptospira Spp En Equinos En La Sabana De Bogotá, Nicolás Caro Valencia, Olga Jaime Silva
Medicina Veterinaria
En la sabana de Bogotá se realizó un estudio de prevalencia de la leptospirosis equina. Para tal fin se tomó una muestra representativa de 386 sueros de equinos, con una confiabilidad del 95% y con un error estimado no mayor al 5%. Se realizaron muestreos serológicos de animales provenientes de 20 municipios de la sabana de Bogotá los cuales fueron La Calera, Nemocón, Sesquilé, El Rosal, Cajicá, Bojacá, Mosquera, Madrid, Zipaquirá, Tocancipá, Tenjo, Facatativá, Chocontá, Gachancipá, Tabio, Subachoque, Funza, Cota, Soacha y la ciudad de Bogotá. Mediante este estudio se identificó la prevalencia de los serovares L. hardjo (23.1%), L. …
