Twee postmortaal vastgestelde gevallen van leptospirose bij de hond

: Leptospirosis was diagnosed post-mortem in a 2-year-old male Dogo Argentino and a 7-week-old male Foxhound puppy. The two cases were unrelated.

Leptospires infection was confirmed by serological (indirect IgM/Ig6 ELISA and MAT) and immunohistochemical techniques.
