Seroprevalence and molecular detection of leptospirosis from a dog shelter

A study on seroprevalence and molecular detection of canine leptospirosis was carried out in a dog population (randomly selected n=80 dogs) from an animal shelter X. All the dogs in Shelter X appeared clinically healthy. Eighty blood samples were obtained and their serum were serologically examined...

All the dogs in Shelter X appeared clinically healthy. Eighty blood samples were obtained and their serum were serologically examined using Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) against 10 Leptospira serovars.
