چکیده

leptospirosis is an acute infectious, systemic and septisemic disease which had recent outbreaks in some parts of iran especially in north provinces. rapid detection is a critical step for treatment and control of this disease. in this research a pcr based method was evaluated for detection of iranian local endemic serovars. all reported endemic serovars of leptospira including leptospira grippotyphosa, leptospira canicola, leptospira sejreo hardjo, leptospira pomona and leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae which at present are used for leptospira micro agglutination test (lmat) in iran, were subjected to this pcr. standard representative serovars from atcc studied in parallel to local serovars. dna extracted by phenol-chloroform-isoamyl alcohol precipitation. after optimization, the sensitivity of pcr was about 1 fg equal to dna of 1 leptospira. all studied serovars including non pathogenic l. biflexa produced the reported 285 bp fragment. restriction analysis with mboi confirmed the pcr product accuracy. in case of l. biflexa the pattern was completely different from the pathogenic ones. none of near matching bacteria had product in this method. this system was able to detect the existence of leptospira dna in all of studied lmat positive serums.

Molecular Detection of Leptospira Species Serotypes in Iranian Stray Dogs

Background and Aims: Leptospirosis is a spirochetal disease with public health importance globally. This disease affects a wide range of domestic and wild animals. Dogs are one of the species most sensitive to Leptospira canicola and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae. The present study was concluded to evaluate the prevalence rate of Leptospira species and L. canicola and L. icterohaemorrhagiae se...

Molecular detection of Leptospira spp. in the urine of cattle in northern Iran

Leptospirosis is a zoonosis of worldwide distribution, caused by Leptospira interrogans and is considered as an emerging global public health problem. Transmission usually results from direct or indirect exposure to the urine or other body fluids of leptospiruric animals which may become a source of infection for human or other animals. Having a humid climate with plenty of annual rainfall, Gui...

Molecular detection and speciation of pathogenic Leptospira spp. in blood from patients with culture-negative leptospirosis

BACKGROUND Pathogenic Leptospira spp. present in the blood of patients with leptospirosis during the first week of symptoms can be detected using culture or PCR. A proportion of patients who are positive by PCR are negative by culture. Leptospira spp. are fastidious bacteria, and we hypothesized that a false-negative culture result may represent infection with a distinct bacterial subset that f...

Pcr-hybridization Based Detection of Pathogenic Leptospira in Environmental Water

Leptospirosis, a major health problem worldwide, is known to be endemic in the northeastern part of Thailand with the risk of infection by exposure to pathogenic Leptospira in contaminated aquatic environment. A method based on PCR-hybridization detection of pathogenic Leptospira in water was established. The method included filtration of water sample through membrane filters of two pore sizes,...
