Marder, G.; Ruiz, R.M.; Bottinelli, O.R.; Peiretti, H.A.; Zorzo, L.; Merino, D.E.; Czernik, G.E.: Prevalence of leptospirosis in sinantropic rodents from Corrientes City, Argentina. Period May 2005–June 2008. Rev. vet. 19: 2, 150–153, 2008. Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Leptospira sp., affecting both animals and human beings. Outbreaks of leptospirosis occur frequently in Argentina, but little is known about its epidemiology. Reservoirs of leptospirosis in the environment are mainly rodents (mice, rats, and wild mice), that live in the vicinity of human settlements. Aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Leptospira sp. infection in rodents from Corrientes City, Argentina, as well as to gather information regarding species, sex and age of infected animals. One hundred and one rodents were captured from different areas of the city, classified and euthanized to collect kidney samples. To determine the presence of leptospiras, tissues were cultured during 15 days to a maximum of 6 months, and analyzed by means of dark–filed microscope. From the total of the tissue samples, 58% of the animals were positive to leptospira infection, with a high proportion of males of Rattus rattus species. We consider that the high prevalence of leptospirosis in rodents of the areas under study is a risk factor for both human beings and domestic animals, and control of these populations has to be taken into account.
