Fatal Infection in a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) with Leptospira interrogans Related to the Australis Serogroup in France

Nathan Thenon et al. J Wildl Dis. .

Abstract

We necropsied a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with gross and histologic lesions suggestive of leptospirosis, with intralesional argyrophilic bacteria. Real-time PCR detected Leptospira spp. in multiple organs. We identified Leptospira interrogans related to the Australis serogroup by typing the 16S rRNA and Lfb1 genes and by multilocus sequence typing.
