Eighty-three dogs collected from three human leptospirosis high-risk neighborhoods (Las Américas, Por Fin, and Rebolo) of Barranquilla were assessed for signs and symptoms of canine leptospirosis (S = symptomatic), and their highest microscopic agglutination test (MAT) titers were determined against a panel of 20 different pathogenic Leptospira serogroups. The highest MAT titers obtained against one or more serogroups are shown.PCR Urine PCR positive.
