Abstrakt: A recent study conducted in Santa Fe, Argentina, examined the seroprevalence of Leptospira antibodies in dogs and cats attending municipal spay and neutering campaigns. The study found a higher prevalence of leptospiral antibodies in dogs compared to cats. Dogs with street access and areas with chronic poverty were identified as potential risk factors for seropositivity. The findings highlight the need for increased leptospirosis vaccination for dogs in vulnerable areas and responsible pet care. [Extracted from the article]
