Abstract
We tested the urine and saliva of 137 wild rats ( Rattus norvegicus) from Vancouver, Canada, for the presence of Leptospira spp. Only one saliva sample was found positive and two were suspect, all from urine-positive rats ( n=81), indicating that active shedding of leptospires in saliva is unlikely to occur.Entities:
