The antibody titers for seropositive varied 1:100 to 1:200, but none animals showed clinical signs disease. found seven serogroups (Autumnalis, Australis, Bataviae, Canicola, Celledoni, Grippotyphosa, Sejroe) circulating rodent SPRB. did not find any differences between sex age concerning Leptospira-positive rodents.
