[Population ecology of leptospires. 1. An experience with evaluation of leptospira count in a carrier and the intensity of elimination in the urine].
The number of L. hebdomadis and L. grippotyphosa in the body of tundra voles (Microtus oeconomicus) has been shown to be approximately 500-800 million; about 100 million of them are daily eliminated from the body of a vole with urine. About 70% of the total volume and separate portions of urine contain leptospires, a single portion of urine containing about 2 million microbial cells. These data have proved to be the same for both L. hebdomadis and L. grippotyphosa.
