| '''Leptospirosis''' is an economically significant zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria [[Leptospira|''Leptospira interrogans'']]. Disease in cattle is usually due to ''L.pomona'' or ''L.hardjo''; ''L. interrogans'' serovar ''hardjo'' is host-adapted to cattle, whereas ''L.pomona'' is non-host specific. Clinical disease is rarely seen in '''sheep'''; they are less susceptible to the bacterium but may act as '''non-symptomatic carriers'''. | | '''Leptospirosis''' is an economically significant zoonotic disease caused by the bacteria [[Leptospira|''Leptospira interrogans'']].
