First Record of Leptospira borgpetersenii Isolation in the Amami Islands, Japan
Abstract In 2003, a Leptospira survey was performed on Yoroshima Island of the Amami Islands located in the southwestern part of Japan. Seven Leptospira strains were isolated from the field rat Rattus rattus , which were identified as L. borgpetersenii by flaB sequencing, 16S rDNA sequencing and gyr...
