Isolation and Molecular Detection of pathogenic Leptospira spp from Wild Rodents (Rattus norvegicus) in Zaria and Its Environs, Kaduna State Nigeria

2023-03-20

Abstract excerpt

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic serovars of Leptospira spp. Wild rodents ( Rattus norvegicus ) are considered principal reservoir for Leptospira spp. The aim of this study was isolation and identification of Leptospira spp circulating amongst wild rodent’s population in Zaria and its environs. Based on convenience sampling, three hundred and five (305) wild rodents ( Rattus Norvegicus ) fr...
