Resumen
BANDA RUIZ, Víctor Manuel; OROZCO VEGA, Laura Elena y URRUTIA VELAZQUEZ, Rosa María. Use of polymerase chain reaction for the identification of Leptospira sp. in urine of carriers. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2005, vol.57, n.1, pp. 47-48. ISSN 1561-3054.
The objectives of the present work were to detect Leptospira seropositive animals. The ELISA results report only IgG antibodies, which could be attributable to chronic infections or else, that they are healthy carriers. All polymerase chain reaction positive animals should be considered potential sources of infection.
