Immunity to leptospirosis: antiserums in dogs and hamsters.
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.
