“…Classically, L. interrogans serovars, especially Canicola have been associated with asymptomatic renal carriage in dogs [32]. However, multiple studies have recovered other leptospiral species from asymptomatic dogs, including L. borgpetersenii, L. kirschneri, L. wolfii, and L. santarosai [33,34,22,35]. In the present study, sequence analysis of PCR-positive dog urine samples revealed that L. interrogans was the species involved in infections.…”

“…Concerning the epidemiology of leptospirosis, there is a lack of information on the countryside areas of Brazil, compared to that on the urban areas where serovars Copenhageni and Icterohaemorrhagiae are predominant 2,5 . However, it should be highlighted that there are reports of other serovars found in different species of domestic and wild animals in those areas 6,7 .…”

“…Based on the available information, serovar Mozdok is rarely isolated from humans in Brazil 7 . This is only the second report concerning the isolation of L. kirschneri putative serovar Mozdok from a human case in a rural area of Brazil.…”

“…No entanto, Hartskeerl & Terpstra (1996) já discutiam a existência de variação de hospedeiros de manutenção e respectivos sorovares pelo mundo. A variação de espécies e sorovares de Leptospira nos animais domésticos continua a ser descrita (Lilenbaum et al, 2007;Cunha et al, 2016;Miotto et al, 2016) (Wang et al, 2015). Na África e no sudeste Asiático é descrito predomínio de L. borgpetersenii, L. interrogans e L. kirschneri, tanto em animais quanto em humanos (Desvars et al, 2012;Cosson et al, 2014;Allan et al, 2015 (Vasconcellos et al, 2001;Sarmento et al, 2012;Monte et al, 2015), enquanto que em suínos predomina L. interrogans sorovares Pomona, Icterohaemorrhagie e Tarassovi (Bolin, 1994;Ferreira Neto et al, 1997;Ramos et al, 2006).…”

No entanto, as espécies L. noguchii e L. kirschneri também já foram descritas no país ocasionando doença em animais e humanos (Silva et al, 2009;Martins et al, 2015;Cunha et al 2016).…”
