Overview

This analysis shows high seroprevalence of Leptospira in dogs from the Yangtze River, indicating significant public health risks from this zoonosis.

Key Points

  • Canine seroprevalence of Leptospira reached 46.41% across multiple provinces from 2021 to 2023, suggesting widespread infection.
  • Microscopic agglutination test results confirmed predominantly L. interrogans serogroups Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae in canine samples.
  • Whole-genome sequencing and multilocus sequence typing classified the isolate as L. interrogans serovar Australis, sequence type ST93.
  • These findings highlight the potential zoonotic threat of Leptospira from canines to human public health in rapidly urbanizing areas.
