'''Leptospirosis''' is an important zoonosis, affecting humans as well as animals. The disease can be caused by infection with a number of different serovars of the bacteria [[Leptospira|''Leptospira interrogans'']]. In general infection with a host adapted strain results in subclinical infection, intermittent shedding of the organism with the animal acting as a reservoir for infection. Infection with non host adapted strains results in clinical disease.
