VetLine Leptospira ELISA

Leptospirosis is probably the most widespread zoonosis in the world. It is caused by infection with spirochete bacteria of the genus Leptospira and affects humans as well as a broad spectrum of animal hosts (e.g. dogs, pigs, cattle). The incidence is significantly higher in warm climate countries than in temperate regions. The disease is seasonal, with peak incidence occurring in summer or fall in temperate regions, where temperature is the limiting factor in survival of leptospires, and during rainy seasons in warm climate regions, where rapid desiccation would otherwise prevent survival.

The NovaTec VetLine Leptospira ELISA is intended for the qualitative determination of antibodies against Leptospira in veterinary serum. The diagnostic sensitivity canine was 88,89 % and the diagnostic specificity canine was 100,0 % (agreement: 93,75 %). For further details, please check the Performance Report.

Only for veterinary in-vitro diagnostic use.
