Köpek Leptospimzisi genellikle L. interrogans seravar icteı-ohaemorrhagiae ve seravar canicola tarafından oluşturulmaktadır.
Fakat son yıllarda Kuzey Amerika'da ve bazı Avntpa ülkelerinde pomona, grippotyphosa ve bratislava
serovadarının da infeksiyana sebep olduğu bildirilmektediı: Hastalık, zoonoz olup yüksek ateş, kusma, depresyon,
hemoraji, kanlı idrar ve dışkı, sarı/ık, hepatik ve renal yetmezlik, abort ve in fertilite ile seyreder ve ölümle sonuçlanabil
ir. Bu derlemede; köpeklerin bu önemli enfeksiyonunun epidemiyolojisi, klinik hastalık bulguları, klinik laboratuvar
· bulguları, klinik mikrobiyolojik tanısı, tedavisi ve eııfeksiyondan korunma hakkında bilgi verilmektedir.

"The Epidemiologic Changes of Canine Leptospirosis"

Öz

Leptospirosis in do gs is caıtsed by L. interrogans serovaı·s icterohaemorrhagiae and canicola in general, but with
other serovaı·s such as pomona, grippotyphosa, and bratislava couse elinical Leptospirosis in dogs in North America
and some European countries have been reported to due to ep idemiologic change. The disease is zoonotic and associated
with Jever, vomiting, depression, haemorrhage, bloodstained uı·ine and Jaeces, jaundice, hepatic and renal failure, abortion, infertility and death. In this ı·eview artiele; epidemiology, elinical sin gs, elinicallaboratory findings, elinical
microbiological diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of this important disease of do gs are presented.
