| Leptospirosis is a widely distributed zoonosis that affects domestic and wild animals, and that has the man as the end point of its epidemiological chain. Leptospirosis diagnosis in primates is more difficult than in other animal species, as clinical signs and lesions are less evident and antibody response is detected only for short periods. The aim of this article was to describe the detection of Leptospira spp using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in clinical samples from one captive black-capped Capuchin monkey (Cebus apella), which presented characteristics compatible with leptospirosis (jaundice and haemorrhagic kdney) in the macroscopic post-mortem examination. A friable kidney fragment and urine sample were cultured and submitted to experimental... |

| The Counterimmunoelectrophoresis reaction (CIE) was tested as a genus specific test for swine leptospirosis diagnosis using three soluble extracts obtained from Leptospira sp, serovars pomona, icterohaemorrhagiae and patoc. The extracts were treated with hot Triton X-100 and applied to serum samples of animals divided in three groups: Group 1, 10 swines experimentally infected with the Pomona strain; Group 2, 50 naturally infected swines and Group 3, 10 swines control. These animals were serologically evaluated by CIE and by the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT), the WHO reference technique. Groups 1 and 3 were monitored during a period of 93 days after infection (a.i.). Group 1 serum convertion took place around the 10th day a.i. by MAT but ocurred... |

| Electrophoretic protein profiles of Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni strains isolated from feces of seven animal species, including man, were compared. Fourteen strains (two from each species) plus two human strains and the reference one, were ruptured by ultrasound and their total soluble proteins were analyzed by SDS-PAGE technique in a 12% polyacrylamide gel with computerized densitometric reading by the molecular analyst software. All the strains had bands in common that correspond to 45 and 66 Kda molecular weight. The disagreement corresponded to a 97 to 200 Kda molecular weight region. From the 17 strains, 13 (76.5%), were classified as biotype I, three (17.6%) as biotype II and one (5.8%) as biotype III. Since protein extracts were obtained from... |
