RESUMO
A cepa de leptospira Cf-1 (LT- 63-72), isolada da urina de um cao com sinais clinicos compativeis com leptospirose, foi identificada pelo teste de absorcao de aglutininas como sendo identica ao sorovar copenhageni, do grupo Icterohaemorrhagiae.Este foi o primeiro isolamento de leptospira de cao no Estado de Minas Gerais, e a primeira vez que foi identificado este sorovar no Brasil

Dois novos sorovares de leptospira no sorogrupo Javanica sao descritos. As cepas Aa-3 e Aa-4, que sao identicas, foram isoladas do comundongo-do-campo-sulamericano (Akodon arviculoides) no municipio de Itaguai, Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. A cepa Rr-5 foi isolada de rato de casa (Rattus rattus), capturado na mesma area. Os nomes fluminense, cepa Aa-3, e rio, cepa Rr-5 foram propostos. A importancia das especies portadoras e enfatizada

LeptospiraRESUMO
Two leptospiral serovars belonging to the Hebdomadis Serogroup are described. These strains are represented by two isolations from apparently healthy zebu cattle. It is proposed that the serovars be designated guaicurus strain Bov. G and goiano strain Bov. 131.

All known isolates of Leptospira interrogans obtained in Trinidad, Grenada and St. Vincent up to the end of 1979 are listed. There were 80 from Trinidad, 20 from Grenada and 2 from St. Vincent, representing at least 20 serotypes from 11 or more serogroups. Six of the serotypes were first reported from Trinidad. The leptospires were isolated from man, domestic animals and wildlife species.

The isolation of serovar canicola from the Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), shows that it is a reservoir of canicola and is therefore significant from an epidemiological point of view. The isolation of pyrogenes and grippotyphosa from a water rat, Nectomys squamipes is also described.

Confirming previous observations on dog populations in other parts of the world, notably Japan, the Philippine Islands, and some countries in South America, we found that a high percentage of dogs in Trinidad are infected with organisms from many serogroups of Leptospira. Serogroups Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae were most commonly found. Ten isolates obtained from 50 kidneys from stray dogs (20% infectivity rate) were typed as portland-vere (six) and canicola (two) of the Canicola serogroup, copenhageni of the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup (one), and georgia in the Hebdomadis serogroup (one). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first record of a serotype in the Hebdomadis serogroup being isolated from a dog. A cat isolation was identified as canicola. Serological results showed that 55% or more of stray dogs had been exposed as opposed to only 12.5% of the cats examined. Serogroups Canicola, Icterohaemorrhagiae and Hebdomadis are found most frequently in dogs, cats, mongooses, and man in Trinidad.

Concerning previous observations on dog populations in other parts of the world, notably Japan, the Phillippine Islands, and some countries in South America, we found that a high percentage of dogs in Trinidad are infected with organisms from many serogroups of Leptospira.

Ten isolates obtained from 50 kidneys from stray dogs (20 percent infectivity rate) were typed as portland-vere (six) and canicola (two) of the Canicola serogroup, copenhageni of the Icterohaemorrhagiae serogroup (one), and georgia in the Hebdomadis serogroup (one).

A new leptospiral serotype in the serogroup Pyrogenes is described. The strain was isolated from one gray "four-eyed" opossum (Philander opossum). It is proposed that the serotype be designated guaratuba, strain An-7705. The isolations of serotypes ballum from the South American field mouse (Akodon arviculoides), szwajizak and icterohaemorrhagiae from the North American opossum (Didelphis marsupialis), and grippotyphosa from many other wild animal species as well as domesticated animals are also described.
