Pathogenic Leptospira can cause leptospirosis: a widespread, potentially fatal bacterial zoonosis whose risk is mediated by the soil and water features, animal host distributions, meaning the local ecosystem. When human cases of leptospirosis occur, it is challenging to track down their source because ecosystem-level epidemiological knowledge on Leptospira is needed. Between 2016 and 2019 in a focal riparian ecosystem, the human population experienced an outbreak and successive cases of leptospirosis attributable to L. kirschneri and L. interrogans. The epidemiological investigation was carried out using the One Health approach, as described in international health guidelines. As a first step in this process, we investigated leptospiral carriage in the main animal hosts found in the region. We sampled 143 nutrias, 17 muskrats, and 10 Norway rats using convenient trapping. DNA was extracted from their kidneys, lungs, and urine and subjected to real-time PCR (RT-PCR) targeting the Leptospira 16S rDNA and lfb1 genes. In the farms along the river's stretch of interest, we sampled serum from 439 cattle and used a microscopic agglutination test to detect the presence of antibodies against Leptospira. Urine samples were concomitantly obtained from 145 cattle and were used in two analyses: RT-PCR targeting the Leptospira 16S rDNA gene and Leptospira culturing. We found th, wt rodents were the most likely source of the L. interrogans behind the human cases. The cattle tested negative for Leptospira DNA but positive for antibodies against the serogroups implicated in the human cases. We failed to identify the potential source of the L. kirschneri responsible for several human cases of leptospirosis. Our results call for further clarification of the Leptospira maintenance community, which may comprise known maintenance hosts, such as rodents, as well as taxa not commonly considered to be maintenance hosts but that can still spread Leptospira. The resulting research network will collaboratively conduct future eco-epidemiological surveys to illuminate the leptospirosis risks faced by humans and animals within ecosystems.

Com os três gêneros orientais, Bungona, Crassolus e Potamocloeon, ele compõe um grupo monofilético denominado complexo Cloeodes. Anteriormente, dois subgêneros foram propostos, no entanto, a partir da descrição de uma espécie com caracteres intermediários entre os dois, eles foram sinonimizados. Embora algumas espécies de Cloeodes tenham sido incluídas em análises cladísticas realizadas previamente, o relacionamento interno delas ainda não foi abordado. Na presente tese, foram realizadas análises filogenéticas com base em caracteres morfológicos e moleculares, utilizando as abordagens de parcimônia, inferência bayesiana e máxima verossimilhança. Como resultado, seis principais grupos foram recuperados nas análises baseadas em dados moleculares e combinados. Quatro desses grupos também foram recuperados na análise somente dos dados morfológicos. Tomando por base esses resultados uma nova classificação subgenérica é proposta. Também foi realizada uma análise biogeográfica utilizando o S-DIVA. Os resultados sugerem a diversificação do gênero no domínio Chacoano. Um evento de dispersão em direção a Noroeste da Região Neotropical teria ocorrido, seguido por um evento vicariante separando duas linhagens, uma distribuída a Noroeste e outra a Sudeste da região. Outro evento de dispersão teria expandido a distribuição do gênero para o domínio Paraná. Posteriormente, um evento vicariante separaria a linhagem distribuída no domínio Chacoano da linhagem distribuída no domínio Paraná. Palavras-Chave: Análise bayesiana, dados combinados, morfologia, parcimônia, sequências de DNA, sistemática.

This study aims to design an ergonomic birthing chair for public maternity hospitals in the Philippines in order to provide comfort for patients and maternity healthcare workers. Previous studies prove that for normal delivery, patients giving birth in sitting position provides 30% more ease compared to lateral position. In addition, healthcare workers are also exposed to less risk for musculoskeletal disorders if they are in sitting position when assisting patients compared to standing position. In this regard, the researchers intend to design an ergonomic birthing chair for patients with an adjustable chair for healthcare workers by applying the principles of anthropometry that is fit for Filipino users. Ergonomic assessment tools such as CMDQ and RULA were used in order to determine the risks of workers for MSD due to the current design of birthing bed for normal delivery. Statistical tools such as analysis of variance (ANOVA) and correlation analysis were also used in order to determine significant factors that contribute to the MSDs of healthcare workers in maternity hospitals. The result of CMDQ and RULA indicated that musculoskeletal disorders are evident in the following: (a) obstetricians: wrist (95.2%), thighs (86.9%), shoulders (69.05%), forearms (60.7%) and lower back (52.4%); (b) midwives: knees (81.5%), wrists (78.8%), lower back (72.4%) and shoulders (72%). Statistical analysis proved that task factors such as positioning, supporting baby's head as it emerges, supporting baby's neck using both hands, delivering placenta and final positioning significantly contributes to the MSD experienced by workers. Thus, the new design of birthing chair proves significant reduction of MSDs for healthcare workers and provides more comfort for patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease-causing illness in both humans and animals resulting in related economic impacts due to production loss as well as prevention and control efforts. Several mathematical models have been proposed to study the dynamics of infection but none of them has so far taken into account the dynamics of seroconversion. In this study, we have developed a general framework, based on the kinetic model for animal leptospirosis, that combines both the antibody (exposure marker) and infection dynamics to simultaneously follows both seroconversion and infection status of leptospirosis in a herd population. It is a stochastic compartmental model (for transition rates) with time delay (for seroconversion) which describes the progression of infection by a SEIRS (susceptible, exposed, infected, removed and susceptible) approach and seroconversion by four-state antibody kinetics (antibody negative and three antibody positive states of different antibody levels). The model shows that it is possible to assess and follow both seroconversion and infection status through the prism of diagnostic testing. Such an approach of combined kinetics could prove very useful to assist the competent authorities in their analyzes of epidemic situations and in the implementation of strategies for controlling and managing the associated risks.

Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by pathogenic Leptospira and is responsible for significant economic porcine livestock losses. Knowledge of Leptospira serogroups and their distributions is important for evaluation of the relevance of leptospirosis management measures, including use of the prophylactic vaccine that was recently made available in France. A retrospective study was conducted to determine the relationships between different circulating Leptospira serogroups. Pigs from across France presenting clinical signs suggestive of leptospirosis were tested with the microagglutination test (MAT) between 2011 and 2017. We used weighted averages to determine serogroup distributions according to MAT results and considering cross-reactions. Results A total of 19,395 pig sera, mostly from Brittany, were tested, and 22.7% were found to be positive for at least one Leptospira serogroup. Analysis of the 4,346 seropositive results for which the putative infective serogroup could be defined, revealed that two out of ten serogroups were much more frequent than the others: Australis (48.5%) and Icterohaemorrhagiae (38.2%). Other serogroups, including Autumnalis, Panama, Ballum, Tarassovi, Sejroe, Grippotyphosa, Bataviae, and Pomona, were less common. Conclusions Although diagnostic laboratory data cannot be extrapolated to infer the distribution of Leptospira serogroups at the nationwide scale in France, the analysis of such data can provide an overview of the relationship between circulating Leptospira serogroups in space and time. During the last decade, protection against the serogroups Australis and Icterohaemorrhagiae would have prevented most of the clinical porcine leptospirosis cases in the large number of farms that we studied. In the future, epidemiological information related to circulating Leptospira serogroups should be extracted from data with a standardized approach for use in nationwide or international surveillance and prophylactic strategy support.

No. of bitstreams: 1 tese_6305_Dissertação Kamila VERSÃO FINAL.pdf: 2595499 bytes, checksum: d9a09f2c0e4cc3260c9b967b10301a29 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-02-20 Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera e Trichoptera constituem um grupo conhecido como EPT, e possuem reconhecida importância em estudos de biomonitoramento ambiental, bem como por desempenhar um papel significativo na ciclagem de nutrientes. As três ordens apresentam representantes no Espírito Santo. O Rio São Mateus representa o principal manancial de abastecimento de várias cidades no norte do estado e seus remanescentes florestais que protegem os solos e os recursos hídricos foram cortados ou queimados ao longo de seu curso. Não existe nenhum estudo a respeito dos insetos aquáticos, incluindo EPT para o Rio São Mateus. O objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a variação espacial da diversidade de Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera e Trichoptera no Rio São Mateus usando como base indivíduos adultos, bem como listar as espécies ocorrentes no rio pela primeira vez. O trabalho foi dividido em dois capítulos: o primeiro constitui o inventário realizado para o Rio São Mateus. O segundo trata da variação espacial da riqueza, diversidade e composição de Ephemeroptera e Trichoptera em uma extensão do Rio São Mateus. Os espécimes foram coletados utilizando a armadilha Pensilvânia. Os resultados do primeiro capítulo indicam alta diversidade das ordens aqui tratadas para o Rio São Mateus, sendo alguns táxons registrados pela primeira vez para o Espírito Santo e outros para a Região Sudeste. Além do fato de várias novas espécies e até mesmo gêneros terem sido encontrados nesse rio. Destaca-se a necessidade de se ampliar estudos em rios de maior porte, uma vez que a composição faunística do Rio São Mateus difere consideravelmente da composição de rios de menor porte da mesma região. Os resultados do segundo capítulo mostram que a riqueza de Ephemeroptera e Trichoptera é fortemente influenciada pela distância da foz, em detrimento da diversidade, distintividade taxonômica e equabilidade. A composição de Ephemeroptera se apresenta bem estruturada quanto a distância dos pontos da foz do rio, ao contrário de Trichoptera cujos pontos mais próximos da foz apresentam composição semelhante, e os pontos mais distantes não apresentam nenhum padrão de agrupamento quanto a composição das espécies. Embora não tenha sido possível testar as hipóteses relacionadas à presença de áreas urbanas no curso do Rio São Mateus, a partir das observações realizadas dos dados coletados, sugere-se que a presença das cidades interfere de maneira negativa principalmente no que diz respeito à riqueza de Ephemeroptera e Trichoptera. Sendo assim, além da distância da foz, o impacto causado pela presença das zonas urbanas atravessadas pelo Rio São Mateus também pode estar sendo importante para determinação da riqueza nos pontos amostrados

To determine whether an improvement in skin lesions as a result of PUVA therapy may be correlated with changes in cytokine patterns, RT-PCR amplification was used to compare the levels of IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma cytokine mRNA expression in serial biopsies from three chronic plaque psoriatic patients. In each case, 3-mm punch biopsies were taken from lesional skin before and during 2-28 days of treatment with PUVA. Total mRNA was extracted from each biopsy, cDNA synthesized, and then amplified by 35 cycles of PCR using cytokine-specific primers. The specificity of the PCR products was confirmed by the Southern blot technique. Substantial levels of specific mRNA for each of the cytokines studied was present in the lesions prior to treatment. In two of the three patients who responded well to PUVA, a reduction in all the cytokines including IL-10 was observed compared with baseline levels. In contrast, PUVA proved to be ineffective in clearing the psoriasis of the third patient whose skin lesions worsened during the course of treatment. This was accompanied by an increase in IFN-gamma but not of the other cytokines investigated, above the pretreatment level. This study showed an association between PUVA-induced resolution and decreases in the levels of various cytokines highly expressed in psoriatic lesions.

Keratinocytes from normal and psoriatic skin were tested for their in vitro proliferative response to a range of concentrations of rIL-6, rTGF alpha, rIL-8 and rGM-CSF using a serum-free culture system. With one exception, all normal cultures (11/12) were stimulated by 1000 ng/ml IL-6 (P0.001). Six out of ten psoriatic keratinocyte cultures were also stimulated at this concentration, but this just failed to reach significance (P = 0.05). As a group, the response by psoriatic keratinocytes to IL-6 was significantly less than that of normal keratinocytes (P = 0.02). TGF alpha at 1 ng/ml induced proliferation in approximately 60% of both normal (8/12, P0.05) and psoriatic (6/10, P0.01) keratinocyte cultures; there was no significant difference between the responses of the two groups to this cytokine. In addition, small numbers of both normal and psoriatic cultures responded to TGF alpha over a concentration range of 0.1 to 100 ng/ml. Approximately half of the normal and psoriatic cultures were stimulated by 10-1000 ng/ml IL-8. However, the effect was not significant for the group at any of the concentrations tested. GM-CSF had minimal to no effect on most of the normal and psoriatic cultures tested. This study showed that psoriatic keratinocytes are equally responsive to the stimulatory effects of TGF alpha and IL-8, but are less susceptible to IL-6 compared to keratinocytes from normal skin. These findings are consistent with a role for these cytokines in the maintenance of a hyperproliferative epidermis in psoriasis.

Normal and chronic plaque psoriatic keralinocyte cultures were tested for their in vitro response to 2–200 ng/nil TNF-α and 0.1–10 ng/ml TGF-β in a serum-free culture system. All normal and lesional psoriatic epidermal cell cultures showed a dose- and lime-dependent inhibition of growth in response to TNF-α and TGF-β. Inhibition in individual cultures was first seen at a concentration of 2 ng/ml for TNF-α and 0.1 ng/ml for TGF-β at day 2, but became significant at 20 ng/ml and 1 ng/ ml for TNF-α and TGF-β respectively at days 2-6. This effect was statistically significant at days 3–4 for the group of normal (TNF-α and TGF-β, n = 10, p

Background and Aim: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease. Information on the recent prevalence of Leptospira in hunted wild animals is limited, particularly in southeastern France. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the prevalence and diversity of Leptospira spp. among wild boars (Sus scrofa) and red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from two military camps in Southeastern France. Materials and Methods: Serological analyses were performed using microscopic agglutination tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays were used to demonstrate Leptospira spp. infection from boar kidney DNA extracts. Results: According to the species, the positive sera were obtained from 18% of 358 boars and 6 % of 64 foxes tested. The prevalence rate is significantly higher (p=0.02) in boars than in foxes. In wild boar, Australis represents the most recorded serogroup (15.9%), followed by Sejroe (2.8%) and icterohaemorhagiae (2.8%). In red fox, icterohaemorhagiae represents the most recorded serogroup (6.25%), followed by Sejroe (1.57%) and Hebdomadis (1.57%). PCR-based detection of Leptospira DNA was positive in 6/62 (9.6%) of the wild boars tested. Conclusion: The results of this study confirmed the importance of wild boar in the epidemiology of leptospirosis among wildlife in Southeastern France. Due to their predatory behavior and their varied diet, mainly composed of small mammals, red foxes could be considered sentinel animals of environmental contamination with leptospires.

Rodents are the primary reservoirs for pathogenic Leptospira species, which cause leptospirosis. Among the key potential carriers are water voles, whose population outbreaks can consequently pose a major threat to human and animal health. We studied the prevalence, prominence, and epidemiology of pathogenic Leptospira species in water voles in central France. First, 46 voles were captured, and DNA was extracted from kidney, lung, liver, blood, and urine and tested for the presence of Leptospira using three molecular methods: PCR, O-antigen typing, and variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) typing. We also attempted to culture leptospires from kidney and urine samples. In addition, we investigated leptospiral antibodies in serum samples from 60 sheep using microscopic agglutination testing. These animals co-occurred with the voles, so we sought to assess their degree of exposure and involvement in pathogen dynamics. The overall prevalence of infection was 76.1% (CI95% [61.2%, 87.4%]). The only strain found was L. kirschneri serogroup Grippotyphosa and a similar VNTR profile was acquired. Leptospires were successfully cultured from kidney and urine samples for four voles. Three sheep had low antibody titers against the Leptospira serogroup Grippotyphosa. Taken together, our results suggest the exclusive carriage of L. kirschneri serogroup Grippotyphosa among water voles in central France. Nevertheless, their ability to act as reservoir hosts that transmit the pathogen to co-occurring livestock remains unclear and merits further research.

Abstract A serological study was carried out in two Senegalese villages located in the Sine‐Saloum region in order to estimate the presence of anti‐leptospiral antibodies in humans and animals, and to identify the predominant serogroups. Seven hundred and forty‐nine serum samples were collected from humans (n = 545), dogs (n = 33), donkeys (n = 20), goats (n = 52), sheep (n = 43) and N’Dama cattle (n = 56), all originated from Dielmo and Ndiop villages. All samples were tested for different serovars of pathogenic Leptospira species by the microscopic agglutination test. Considering titres ≥ 1:100, 7.7% [CI 95:5.5 to 9.9] on the 545 human blood samples tested and 42.2% [CI95:35.4 to 48.9] on the 204 animal blood samples tested were found to be positive to one or more serovars. The results obtained indicate that the Australis serogroup is the most prevalent serogroup in human (67.3%) and cattle (27.3%). Serogroup Icterohaemorhagiae is the most frequent serogroup in goat (55.6%) and donkey (37.5%). Canicola (23.4%), Icterohaemorhagiae (21.1%) and Australis (12.5%) serogroups are the most prevalent serogroups in dogs. This study shows that diverse Leptospira serovars occur in a wide range of wild and domestic mammal species, as well as in humans in Senegal. However, further studies are needed to better understand the complexity of Leptospira epidemiology in Africa, identify the reservoirs of different serogroups and estimate its impact on livestock. Understanding the multi‐host epidemiology of leptospirosis is essential to control and prevent the disease.

The proliferative lymphocyte response to sonicated group A, beta-haemolytic streptococci (Strep-A) was measured by thymidine incorporation in 78 patients with psoriasis (guttate, chronic plaque or both). Lymphocytes from 72 of these patients were also cultured with streptokinase/streptodornase (SK/SD), and 20 of the patients with chronic plaque psoriasis were further tested with PPD, Candida albicans and sonicated Streptococcus mutans, a bacterial type not associated clinically with psoriasis. The median stimulation index (SI) of the psoriasis group to the Strep-A preparation was significantly higher than that of a group of 27 non-psoriatic individuals (P less than 0.05). Within this group, only the patients with chronic plaque psoriasis (n = 42) showed a significantly increased proliferative response compared to the non-psoriatic controls (median SI = 123.8 and 31.9, respectively, P less than 0.01). Although the lymphocyte response of the chronic plaque group to SK/SD was also markedly higher than that of the control group, this difference did not reach statistical significance. In addition, these patients did not show significantly increased responses to any of the other antigens tested, including S. mutans. No correlation was observed between the degree of proliferation to Strep-A and disease extent or activity. Similarly, ASO titres, which were raised in 11 out of 23 guttate and three out of nine chronic plaque psoriasis patients tested, did not correlate with the proliferative responses observed.

In a survey of household cats and dogs of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients, we found a high seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, ranging from 21% to 53%, depending on the positivity criteria chosen. Seropositivity was significantly greater among pets from COVID-19+ households compared to those with owners of unknown status. Our results highlight the potential role of pets in the spread of the epidemic.

Autochtonous leptospirosis is an emerging zoonotic disease in Europe, particularly in France. We report a case of leptospirosis in a 36 year-old man, who is a recently arrived migrant from Tunisia and lives in a squat. He suffered from pulmonary and neurological involvement as well as hepatitis. Seven rats (Rattus norvegicus) were trapped in the squat where the patient lived. Leptospira spp. DNA was detected in the kidney of one rat, highlighting the most likely source of contamination. In addition to the classic recreational or professional exposure to fresh water and practice of outdoor sports as a source of leptospirosis contamination, unhealthy living conditions (homeless or squatting) and therefore frequent exposure to rats, are another risk factor for leptospirosis in Europe.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Knowledge on the possible sources of human leptospirosis, other than rats, is currently lacking. To assess the distribution pattern of exposure and infection by Leptospira serogroups in the two main semi-aquatic rodents of Western France, coypus (Myocastor coypus) and muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus), results of micro-agglutination testing and renal tissue PCR were used. In coypus, the apparent prevalence was 11% (n = 524, CI95% = [9% - 14%]), seroprevalence was 42% (n = 590, CI95% = [38% - 46%]), and the predominant serogroup was Australis (84%). In muskrats, the apparent prevalence was 33% (n = 274, CI95% = [27% - 39%]), seroprevalence was 57% (n = 305, CI95% = [52% - 63%]), and the predominant serogroup was Grippotyphosa (47%). Muskrats should therefore be considered an important source of Grippotyphosa infection in humans and domestic animals exposed in this part of France.

Despite the probable zoonotic origin of SARS-CoV-2, only limited research efforts have been made to understand the role of companion animals in SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology. According to recent serological prevalence studies, human-to-companion animal transmission is quite frequent, which led us to consider that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission from animal to human, albeit negligible in the present context, may have been underestimated. In this study, we provide the results of a prospective survey that was conducted to evaluate the SARS-CoV-2 isolation rate by qRT-PCR in dogs and cats with different exposure risks and clinical statuses. From April 2020 to April 2021, we analyzed 367 samples and investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA using qRT-PCR. Only four animals tested positive, all of them being cats. Three cats were asymptomatic and one presented a coryza-like syndrome. We describe in detail the infection in two cats and the associated clinical characteristics. Importantly, we obtained SARS-CoV-2 genomes from one infected animal and characterized them as Alpha variants. This represents the first identification of the SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant in an infected animal in France.

The penetration depth of 1-12 keV electrons in most materials is less than one micron and the characteristic soft x-rays that are produced can be used to identify the elements present in the surface. Varying the energy of the incident electron beam enables the depth of analysis to be controlled.Soft x-rays often exhibit large 'chemical effects' (changes in peak profile and peak position) which can he correlated with chemical changes. A study of such effects for each element present in the sample surface, as a function of electron-beam energy, can in some cases, permit changes in the chemical state (valency - coordination number-spin state etc.) to be determined as a function of depth.Such analyses can be carried out either in a conventional x-ray spectrometer in which the x-ray tube has been replaced by a gas-discharge source, or in a spectrometer in which the sample is bombarded with electrons from a normal electron gun. In this paper these techniques are outlined and some applications reviewed:- the analysis of oxide layers on aluminium and steel, the analysis of aluminium-nitride layers produced by MOCVD on gallium arsenide, the analysis of silica fiims (with added boron and phosphorus oxides) on silicon and the analysis of zinc-oxide films on glass.

Leptospirosis is a zoonosis found worldwide that is caused by a spirochete. The main reservoirs of Leptospira, which presents an asymptomatic infection, are wild rodents, including the brown rat (Rattus norvegicus). Experimental studies of the mechanisms of its renal colonization in rats have previously used an intraperitoneal inoculation route. However, knowledge of rat-rat transmission requires the use of a natural route of inoculation, such as a mucosal or subcutaneous route. We investigated for the first time the effects of subcutaneous and mucosal inoculation routes compared to the reference intraperitoneal route during Leptospira infection in adult rats. Infection characteristics were studied using Leptospira renal isolation, serology, and molecular and histological analyses. Leptospira infection was asymptomatic using each inoculation route, and caused similar antibody production regardless of renal colonization. The observed renal colonization rates were 8 out of 8 rats, 5 out of 8 rats and 1 out of 8 rats for the intraperitoneal, mucosal and subcutaneous inoculation routes, respectively. Thus, among the natural infection routes studied, mucosal inoculation was more efficient for renal colonization associated with urinary excretion than the subcutaneous route and induced a slower-progressing infection than the intraperitoneal route. These results can facilitate understanding of the infection modalities in rats, unlike the epidemiological studies conducted in wild rats. Future studies of other natural inoculation routes in rat models will increase our knowledge of rat-rat disease transmission and allow the investigation of infection kinetics.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Human leptospirosis is a zoonotic and potentially fatal disease that has increasingly been reported in both developing and developed countries, including France. However, our understanding of the basic aspects of the epidemiology of this disease, including the source of Leptospira serogroup Australis infections in humans and domestic animals, remains incomplete. We investigated the genetic diversity of Leptospira in 28 species of wildlife other than rats using variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) and multispacer sequence typing (MST). The DNA of pathogenic Leptospira was detected in the kidney tissues of 201 individuals out of 3,738 tested individuals. A wide diversity, including 50 VNTR profiles and 8 MST profiles, was observed. Hedgehogs and mustelid species had the highest risk of being infected (logistic regression, OR = 66.8, CI95% = 30.9-144 and OR = 16.7, CI95% = 8.7-31.8, respectively). Almost all genetic profiles obtained from the hedgehogs were related to Leptospira interrogans Australis, suggesting the latter as a host-adapted bacterium, whereas mustelid species were infected by various genotypes, suggesting their interaction with Leptospira was different. By providing an inventory of the circulating strains of Leptospira and by pointing to hedgehogs as a potential reservoir of L. interrogans Australis, our study advances current knowledge on Leptospira animal carriers, and this information could serve to enhance epidemiological investigations in the future.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Urban leptospirosis has increasingly been reported in both developing and developed countries. The control of the disease is limited because our understanding of basic aspects of the epidemiology, including the transmission routes of leptospires among rat populations, remains incomplete. Through the ability to distinguish among Leptospira strains in rats, multispacer sequence typing (MST) could provide a modern understanding of Leptospira epidemiology; however, to our knowledge, the distribution of Leptospira strains among urban rat colonies has not been investigated using MST.The objective of this study was to identify the Leptospira strains present in rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Lyon (France) using MST and to characterize their spatial distribution. Kidneys and urine were collected from rats trapped live in seven locations in the city and in one suburban location. Each location was considered to represent a rat colony. Bacterial cultures and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were performed, and the L. interrogans DNA identified was then genotyped using MST. The distributions of Leptospira strains were spatially described.Among 84 wild rats, MST profiles were obtained in 35 of 37 rats that had a positive result for L. interrogans by bacterial culture and/or qPCR analyses. All of the MST profiles were related to reference strains previously isolated from human patients that belong to the serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae and the serovars [strain(s)] Copenhageni [Wijinberg or M20] (n = 26), Icterohaemorrhagiae [CHU Réunion] (n = 7), Icterohaemorrhagiae [R1] (n = 1) and Copenhageni [Shibaura 9] (n = 1). Each colony was infected with leptospires having the same MST profile.This study demonstrated that MST could be used for the purpose of field studies, either on culture isolates or on DNA extracted from kidneys and urine, to distinguish among L. interrogans isolates in rats. MST could thus be used to monitor their distributions in urban rats from the same city, thereby providing new knowledge that could be applied to explore the circulation of L. interrogans infection in rat colonies. Because the strains are related to those previously found in humans, this application of MST could aid in the source tracking of human leptospirosis, and the findings would be relevant for public health purposes according to the One Health principle.

Veterinary medicine ,SF600-1100 - Abstract
Leptospirosis is an important zoonotic disease in the world and a real public health concern for many years in New Caledonia. A cross-sectional survey was carried out on domestic and wild animals from New Caledonia in April 2009. Blood samples were collected from 30 cattle, 29 deers, (Cervus timorensis russa), 25 horses, 51 dogs, and 8 cats and were tested for 23 serovars of pathogenic Leptospira species by the microscopic agglutination test. From the total number of 143 samples, 84 (58.7%) were found to be positive towards one or several serovars of pathogenic leptospires. According to the species, the positive sera were obtained from 43% of 30 cattle, 72% of 29 Rusa deer, 80% of 25 horses, and 43% of 51 dogs, and fromall of the 8 cats tested. This study shows the broad dispersion and the high prevalence of the different serogroups of pathogenic Leptospira species tested, particularly among deer and horses. The disease is endemic in domestic animals and concerns all the species.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
16S rRNA gene (rrs) is considered of low taxonomic interest in the genus Aeromonas. Here, 195 Aeromonas strains belonging to populations structured by multilocus phylogeny were studied using an original approach that considered Ribosomal Multi-Operon Diversity. This approach associated pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) to assess rrn operon number and distribution across the chromosome and PCR-temporal temperature gel electrophoresis (TTGE) to assess rrs V3 region heterogeneity. Aeromonads harbored 8 to 11 rrn operons, 10 operons being observed in more than 92% of the strains. Intraspecific variability was low or nul except for A. salmonicida and A. aquariorum suggesting that large chromosomic rearrangements might occur in these two species while being extremely rarely encountered in the evolution of other taxa. rrn operon number at 8 as well as PFGE patterns were shown valuable for taxonomic purpose allowing resolution of species complexes. PCR-TTGE revealed a high rate of strains (41.5%) displaying intragenomic rrs heterogeneity. Strains isolated from human samples more frequently displayed intragenomic heterogeneity than strains recovered from non-human and environmental specimens. Intraspecific variability ranged from 0 to 76.5% of the strains. The observation of species-specific TTGE bands, the recovery of identical V3 regions in different species and the variability of intragenomic heterogeneity (1-13 divergent nucleotides) supported the occurrence of mutations and horizontal transfer in aeromonad rrs evolution. Altogether, the presence of a high number of rrn operon, the high proportion of strains harboring divergent rrs V3 region and the previously demonstrated high level of genetic diversity argued in favor of highly adaptative capabilities of aeromonads. Outstanding features observed for A. caviae supported the ongoing process of adaptation to a specialized niche represented by the gut, previously hypothesized. 16S rRNA gene is an informative marker in the genus Aeromonas for both evolutionary and polyphasic taxonomic studies provided that multi-operon fingerprinting approaches are used.
