“…Seroprevalence against Leptospira spp. (5.4%) and leptospirosis incidence (118.42/100 000 inhabitants) are much higher than those found in other Spanish studies in neighbouring cities with similar climates, and also than those found in other European studies [2,3].…”

“…As known, the major source of human infection is the direct exposure to the infected animals' urine or contact with water and/or soil contaminated with urine; thus, municipal cleaning personnel, longshoremen, dairy farmers, butchers, refrigeration and sewage workers, among others, are the populations most likely to become infected in this district. On the other hand, the authors emphasize the epidemiological importance of knowing each of the different sero groups of the different Leptospira serovarieties, as well as local isolations [12] [25] [26] [27]. In this investigation, the most frequent sero groups were Canicola, which includes the Portland-vere (Sinaloa ACR) serotype, and the Icterohaemorrhagiae, which includes the Palo Alto and RGA strains.…”

Background: Leptospirosis is an important zooanthroponotic disease spread worldwide which infection is recognized as a re-emergent disease. Leptospirosis is a systemic disease of humans and domestic animals, mainly dogs, cattle and swine, characterized by fever, renal and hepatic insufficiency, pulmonary manifestations and reproductive failure. Objective: To study the seroprevalence of anti-Leptospira antibodies in an urban canine population. Materials and Methods: The study was performed in March 2014 in stray dogs that had been captured in the districts of Coyoacan, Iztapalapa, Iztacalco and Benito Juarez in Mexico City; 117 dogs were analyzed, from each of which 5 ml of blood were obtained. Serology was performed using a MAT test (Microscopic Agglutination Test), finding that the antigens corresponded to 13 serotypes of Leptospirainterrogans. Three age groups were formed: Group 1) younger than a year (n = 28), Group 2) 1 to 6 years (n = 75), and Group 3) older than 6 years (n = 14). Results: Of the analyzed sera, 28.2% were seropositive to one or more Leptospira serotypes, 74% of the positive seracoagglutinated with two or more serotypes. The most frequent serotypes were: Canicola, Icterohaemorrhagiae and Portland-vere. Serotypes Canicola, Pyrogenes, and Bratislava resulted statistically significant (p < 0.001). The presence of anti-Leptospira antibodies in the blood of animals of 1 to 6 years resulted with a p < 0.001. The sera from Iztapalapa reacted to nine serotypes. Conclusion: The 28.2% of seropositivity indicates Leptospira transmission in the canine population that was studied could exhibit a potential public health risk.How to cite this paper: Martínez-Barbabosa, I.,

“…This infection usually occurs in summer and autumn and in the rainy season. Some studies reported a mean annual incidence about 2/100,000 inhabitants in the area where this case took place [3].…”
