Leptospirosis, also called Weil’s disease. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease of worldwide significance that is caused by infection with antigenically distinct serovars of the species Leptospira interrogans sensu lato. At least serovars of 10 are most important in dogs. The serovars in canine Leptospirosis is canicola, icterohaemorrhagiae, grippotyphosa, Pomona, Bratislava, which belong to serogroups Canicola, Icterohemorrhagiae, Grippotyphosa, Pomona, Australis. Infection primarily affects the liver and kidneys, so in serious cases, there can be jaundice. Dogs is usually most obvious in the whites of the eyes. Jaundice indicates the presence of hepatitis as a result of the destruction of liver cells by the bacteria. In rare cases, leptospirosis can also cause acute pulmonary, hemorrhage respiratory distress. Diagnosis and treatment When a healthy animal comes into contact with Leptospira bacteria, its immune system will produce antibodies that are specific to those bacteria. Antibodies against Leptospira target and kill the bacteria. So antibodies is testing by the diagnostic experiment.
