Steinen, J. Schuurman, C. Gravekamp, H. Korver, W. Terpstra] Leptospires were isolated from 24 of 327 (7%) muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) caught in The Netherlands. All isolates were identified asLeptospira interrogans. One isolate was typed as serovarcopenhageni in the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup, one as serovarlora in the Australis serogroup. Twenty-one isolates showed a close relationship with serovarsgrippotyphosa, valbuzzi, muelleri andratnapura from the Grippotyphosa serogroup. One isolate was lost. Sera from 196 muskrats were examined by the microscopic agglutination test. Forty-five (23%) sera reacted positively (titers≧1: 160), 42 (21%) of these 45 sera to Grippotyphosa and 3 (2%) to Sejroe serogroup antigens. This is the first report of serological and cultural evidence of leptospira infection in muskrats in The Netherlands.
