Abstract
An electron microscopic study on the histopathological changes in the kidneys of pregnant hamsters resulting from infection with Leptospira canicola was undertaken. The experiment revealed damage to the glomeruli as well as the tubules. The severity of these lesions increased with the progress of the disease and examination of kidney sections showed leptospires in the tissue. It is suggested that the stress of pregnancy has some influence on the severity of the lesions seen in this disease.Entities:
