Summary A strain of Leptospira kirschneri (serogroup Grippotyphosa) was cultured from urine of a mare post‐abortion in Brazil and characterized by serogrouping, multiple‐locus variable‐number tandem repeat analysis, PGFE , and sequencing of genes rrs and secY . Strains of L. kirschneri have apparently never been recovered from horses in tropical area, only in Europe and USA . Knowledge of local epidemiology is important to interpret genetic profiles of leptospires circulating in an area.
