Abstract
Infection with leptospires of the Australis serogroup is widespread in voles in Southern England and the serovar identification of five randomly-selected isolates was determined by cross agglutination absorption. Two isolates from short-tailed voles (Microtus agrestis) and three isolates from bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) were all identified as serovar muenchen. The only previous isolation of this serovar is that from a human in Germany.
