Figure 2. Correlation between the quantification of leptospires by qPCR and the IM.

Figure 2

A significant (P<0.05), positive correlation was observed between the qPCR and the IM techniques in the experimental models of leptospirosis (rat and hamster) used in this study. The leptospiral loads for the qPCR are displayed as leptospires per µg DNA and in the IM as leptospires per 10 fields-of-view (×1000 magnification).
