Emergence of novel Leptospira serovars: a need for adjusting vaccination policies for dogs?
Zbigniew Arent,S. Andrews,Katerina K. Adamama-Moraitou,C. Gilmore,Dimitra Pardali,W. A. Ellis +5 more
TL;DR: Consideration should be given to the inclusion of serovars belonging to the Pomona serogroup and serovar Bratislava in future dog vaccines for the Greek market.

Emerging infectious disease implications of invasive mammalian species : the greater white-toothed shrew (Crocidura russula) is associated with a novel serovar of pathogenic Leptospira in Ireland
Jarlath E. Nally,Zbigniew Arent,Darrell O. Bayles,Richard L. Hornsby,Colm Gilmore,Siobhan Regan,Allan D. McDevitt,Jon M. Yearsley,Séamus Fanning,Barry J. McMahon +9 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that invasive mammalian species act as bridge vectors of novel zoonotic pathogens such as Leptospira, and isolates from the greater white-toothed shrew represent a new serovar which is designated as Serovar Room22.
Isolation of Leptospires from genital tract of sheep
TL;DR: It is suggested that sheep may also act as an alternative maintenance host for serovar Hardjo, as well as host-maintained infections, which are known to infect cattle and pigs with leptospirosis.

Leptospira interrogans serovars Bratislava and Muenchen animal infections: Implications for epidemiology and control.
TL;DR: Five restriction pattern types were found only in wildlife suggesting that they are unlikely to pose a disease threat to domestic animals, and B2a was ubiquitous and was isolated from 10 species and represented the majority of the horse and all dog isolates.

First overall report of Leptospira infections in wild boars in Poland.
Jacek Żmudzki,Artur Jabłoński,Agnieszka Nowak,Sylwia Zębek,Zbigniew Arent,Łukasz Bocian,Zygmunt Pejsak +6 more
TL;DR: The relatively high prevalence of Leptospira infections in wild boars may constitute a threat to hunters and people having contact with forest lakes or marshlands and indicate that an increasing population of wild boar living close to borders of cities may create additional risk for inhabitants in large urban areas.
