Bovine leptospirosis: experimental serovar hardjo infection
Abstract
Almost the full range of clinical signs observed in pregnant cattle naturally infected with Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo was observed in this experimental study in which 22 heifers were infected by intraplacentome inoculation with serovar hardjo strains. These features included abortion, mummification, stillbirth, premature and term birth of weak calves and full-term birth of live apparently healthy calves. Leptospires were demonstrated in all but three calves by culture and or immunofluorescence.
