MONROY-DIAZ, Ángela Liliana; VARGAS-ARIAS, Jenny Alejandra; FILIPPO-IRIARTE, Giselle Di y QUIMBAYA-RAMIREZ, John Jaime. Animal reservoirs for leptospirosis: A review. Rev. Lasallista Investig. [online]. 2020, vol.17, n.2, pp.266-279. Epub 24-Ago-2021. ISSN 1794-4449. https://doi.org/10.22507/rli.v17n2a23.
Leptospirosis is caused by the bacteria Lepstospira spp, of high worldwide prevalence, related to the circulation in multiple domestic and peridomestic reservoirs. The present review aimed to provide data on infection by Leptospira spp in possible animal reservoirs. A narrative review of the literature was developed where maximum prevalence values were found in canines up to 63%, in felines 68%, in swine 86%, in equines 75% and in bovines 89%. According to the prevalence of Leptospirosis, they should be taken into account from the routine diagnosis of pathology in animals.
