Leptospirosis Antibodies, Proteins & ELISA Kits
Leptospirosis antibodies, proteins & ELISA kits
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection caused by spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira, ranging from mild febrile illness to severe Weil's disease with jaundice and renal failure.
What is Leptospirosis?
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic infection caused by spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira, ranging from mild febrile illness to severe Weil's disease with jaundice and renal failure.
Humans are infected through water or soil contaminated with animal urine. Anti-Leptospira IgM/IgG serology and the conserved LipL32 antigen support diagnosis and serosurveillance.
Transmission & symptoms
Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by spirochaetes of the genus Leptospira. People are infected through water or soil contaminated with the urine of infected animals; disease ranges from a mild flu-like illness to severe Weil disease with jaundice, renal failure and haemorrhage.
Diagnosis & serology
The reference serological test is the microscopic agglutination test, with ELISA measuring anti-Leptospira IgM/IgG. The conserved outer-membrane lipoprotein LipL32 is a leading recombinant antigen for serodiagnosis.
Research applications
Research tools support Leptospira serodiagnosis, innate immune recognition (TLR2, TLR4), complement evasion and vaccine-antigen studies.
