BARRETO ARGILAGOS, Guillermo  and  RODRIGUEZ TORRENS, Herlinda de la Caridad. Leptospirosis in Goat Production. Review. Rev. prod. anim. [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.3, pp. 57-62. ISSN 2224-7920.

The incidence of goat leptospirosis and its productive impact is a subject that has not been studied in Cuba; however, in view of the increase in meat and milk breeding, it is necessary to broaden the specialized debate on the manifestations and consequences of disease in these species. In this review, a review of recent publications has been carried out in order to provide specialists and interested parties with updated and summarized information on the subject, with emphasis on the relevance of goats as reservoirs of the pathogen and sources of transmission to humans.

Keywords : goat leptospirosis; reservoirs of the pathogen; sources of transmission to the human.
