Overall prevalence was 7.7%, with DNA confirmed in 3/30 common genets (Genetta genetta) (serovars Icterohaemorraghiae and Sejröe), 1/9 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) (Canicola) and 2/27 cats (Icterohaemorraghiae). Though most of the dogs were vaccinated against Leptospira, DNA of the serovar Canicola was detected in the urine of 25% of the vaccinated animals, and the serovar Icterohaemorraghiae in one non-vaccinated dog.}, type={Short Communications}, title={Carriage of pathogenic Leptospira in carnivores at the wild/domestic interface}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/114789/PDF/19.pdf}, doi={10.24425/pjvs.2019.131408}, keywords={domestic/wildlife interface, leptospirosis, spirochetes, surveillance}, }
