LEPTOSPIRA SEROVARS IN UK PIGS PROJECT OD014 ACTIVITIES AT VLA REGIONAL LABORATORIES
S.M. Williamson and C. Gaudie

Abstract
This paper records the serological findings on current leptospira serovars in UK pig herds resulting from a DEFRA-funded project, 'Leptospira Serovars in Pigs in England and Wales: definition and detection of infecting agents,' the aims of which have been described previously (Williamson et al, 2004). The role of the Regional Laboratories (RL) in the project was to identify pig herds with evidence of exposure to leptospires and to collect kidneys for leptospire culture and PCR development. The opportunity was taken to relate the results of leptospiral serology to background epidemiological details of sampled herds.
