Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis has gained much attention in Sri Lanka since its large outbreak in 2008. However, most of the cases were clinically diagnosed and information on Leptospira genotypes and serotypes currently prevailing in the country is lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We retrospectively analyzed 24 Leptospira strains from human patients as well as isolated and characterized three Leptospira...
