Abstract
Five dogs were experimentally inoculated with virulent Leptospira
interrogans serovar Icterohaemorrhagiae and the disease spectrum was
studied. Febrile reaction was observed for 4-7 days after infection. The
clinical signs observed were pyrexia, anorexia, depression, congested
conjunctiva and diarrhoea. Leptospiraemia was observed during the
febrile period mostly on PID 4,5, 6 and isolation of leptospires was
possible during the fist week. Leptospiraemia was first detected on
PID-7 and intermittent after PID-2l. The kidney sections revealed
leptospires.
