title: Two new leptospira serovars belonging to the Hebdomadis serogroup.
abstract: Two new serovars in the leptospira Hebdomadis serogroup are described following parallel investigations by the "classical" comparative cross-agglutinin absorption test method and by a method derived from factor analysis. The serovar names nyanza with reference strain Kibos and dikkeni with reference strain Mannuthi are proposed.
