Leptospirosis: Seroprevalence in equine populations and human referents in Uruguay
Resumen:
Equine leptospirosis is thought to be uncommon because it is usually subclinical, but recent studies suggest that it is a geographically widespread infection, with varying incidence profiles and infectious serovars. Because of its high population level and its use in multiple tasks, equines should be considered as a potential source of human infection. In Uruguay so far there are no records of leptospirosis in horses. This disease is associated mainly with the bovine reservoir, but certain equines share spaces with cattle and other production animals in livestock establishments, and in breeding facilities there are abundant rodents attracted by food and forage
