Immunity to leptospirosis: bacterins in dogs and hamsters.
Resistance to clinical and renal leptospirosis in dogs vaccinated with a bacterin containing Leptospira interrogans serotype canicola and Leptospira interrogans serotype icterohaemorrhagiae was demonstrated. The relationship between resistance induced in vaccinated dogs and that induced in vaccinated hamsters was also demonstrated, using criteria of leptospiremia, renal infection, leptospiruria, and clinical signs of disease in dogs and death in hamsters.
