Abstract
Summary Animals in the Nile Valley from south of Cairo to Aswan were examined for evidence of leptospiral infections. Serological reactors were detected to Leptospira australis, L. autumnalis, L. bataviae, L. canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. hebdomadis, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. malaya, and L. zanoni in 41 of 416 wild animals. Sera of domestic animals collected at abattoirs included reactors to L. autumnalis, L. bataviae, L. canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, and L. malaya. Two isolations of L. grippotyphosa were made from the house mouse Mus musculus.Keywords
