A sheep flock contains 600 head of Al-Barky ewes suffered from: Icterus, bloody urine, death two days post symptoms appearance and abortion in 6 pregnant ewes. Thesymptoms appeared on 46 case and 6 ewes aborted and mortality rate was44 case dead. The results of examined samples showed that the isolation of leptospira from 5 out of 52 (9.62 %) animals samples (blood, urine and necropsy kidney tissue samples), the isolates were 2 from blood samples (6.7 %), 2 from kidney samples (6.7 %) and 1 from urine samples (10 %). The obtained leptospira isolates from infected ewes were examined by PCR for identification of leptospires, using universal primers set (lig1 / lig2,) that amplify the genomic DNA of all pathogenic Leptospiraserovar only, the most predominant seropositivity using MAT was detected against L.int.icterohaemorrhagiae (57.69%), followed by L.int.grippotyphosa (28.85%) and L.int.pomona (13.46%). The highest titer of seropositivity was detected against serovarL.int.icterohaemorrhagiae (1:1600) while L.int.grippotyphosa and L.int.pomona reached up to (1:400).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
