Leptospirosis in North America

Robert H. Yager1 AND William S. Gochenour, Jr.2
Veterinary Division, Army Medical Service Graduate School, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington 12, D. C.

Leptospirosis in North America may be caused by any of at least seven antigenically distinct strains of leptospirae. Of these, L. icterohemorrhagiae, L. canicola, L. pomona and L. bataviae are known to exist in the United States. Methods for serological and bacteriological diagnosis of leptospirosis have been discussed. The need for more adequate diagnostic laboratory services, improved diagnostic procedures, a definitive therapy and epidemiological surveys has been set forth.
