Serological and cultural evidence of Leptospirae in Cape Town dogs


C.P.B. Beyers

Abstract

Following the recent isolations of Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae locally from wild rats,' it was decided to extend the search for leptospirae to other animal carriers. A serological survey of Cape Peninsula dogs was thus undertaken, as well as an attempt to isolate these organisms from them.
