Abstract
Summary: During an investigation of equine abortion, leptospiral infection was demonstrated in nine out of 22 foetuses examined by immunofluorescence and culture. Strains belonging to four serogroups (Australis, Pomona, Hebdomadis and Icterohaemorrhagiae) were isolated. The age of leptospira infected foetuses ranged from six months to term.Résumé: Au cours de recherches sur les avortements équins, on établit l'existence d'une infection leptospirosique sur neuf des 22 foetus examinés par immunofluorescence et par culture. Les souches appartenaient à quatre sérogroupes (Australis, Pomona, Hebdomadis et Icterohaemorrhagiae). L'âge des foetus infectés variait de six mois à 11 mois.Zusammenfassung: Während einer Untersuchung von Pferdeaborten konnte aus neun von 22 Foeten eine Leptospireninfektion durch Immunfluoreszenz und Kultur nachgewiesen werden. Die Stämme gehörten zu vier Serogruppen (Australis, Pomona, Hebdomadis und Icterohaemorrhagiae). Das Alter der leptospireninfizierten Foeten variierte von 6 Monaten bis zum Austragealter.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
