The MAT titers (≥ 1:40) of house mice (Mus musculus) (N = 49), black rats (Rattus rattus) (N = 16), and brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) (N = 4) collected in three human leptospirosis high-risk neighborhoods (Las Américas, Por Fin, and Rebolo) of Barranquilla were determined against 20 different pathogenic Leptospira serogroups, and the highest MAT titers against one or more serogroups are shown.
