Journal Title: Бюлетень "Ветеринарна біотехнологія" - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue
Abstract
Introduction. The problem of leptospirosis in Ukraine is gaining increasing importance. Leptospirosis is the most common naturally-occurring disease with a high percentage of severe clinical forms and mortality. The goal of the work was to determine the degree of distribution of leptospirosis among dogs in Sumy, analysis of the etiological spectrum of Leptospira, evaluation of the effectiveness of clinical diagnostic, treatment of sick animals and definition of the most effective therapeutic schemes. Materials and methods. Epizootological, clinical, serological, statistical methods were used. The objects of the research were dogs which were clinically ill or were suspected to be sick with leptospirosis, as well as the blood serum samples of these animals. Results of research and discussion. As a result of the work, it was found that in 2017 the leptospirosis was laboratory confirmed in 15 dogs from a total of 40 inspected individuals from private households in Sumy. Conclusions and prospects for further research: 1. In 15 of 40 examined dogs of the owners of Sumy had antibodies to leptospirosis, which was 37.5%. The highest number of animals had the antibodies to L.icterohaemorrhagiae, L.canicola, L.grippotyphosa serogroups. There was one dog infected with the L.sejroe. 2. The most severe leptospirosis in dogs was observed when they were infected with L.icterohaemorrhagiae and L.sanicola serogroups. 3. The antibiotics of the cephalosporins and aminoglycosides groups are effective as etiotropic therapy in treating dogs from leptospirosis. Further studies will be focused on the effects of certain serotypes of Leptospira on the organs of dogs at Leptospira monoinfection and the mixed infection of leptospirosis with babesiosis.
