title: Immunity to leptospirosis: antiserums in dogs and hamsters.
abstract: Resistance to clinical and renal leptospirosis in dogs injected with antiserum to Leptospira interrogans serotype canicola and Leptospira interrogans serotype icterohaemorrhagiae was demonstrated. The relationship between resistance induced in serum-injected hamsters was also demonstrated, using criteria of leptospiremia, renal infection, leptospiruria, and clinical signs of disease in dogs and death in hamsters.
