ZOETIS
Infection with L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo (type hardjo-bovis), previously classified as Leptospira interrogans serovar hardjo, is the primary cause of leptospirosis of cattle in the United States1-2 and in much of the world.3 L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo is also an important zoonotic disease causing a flu-like syndrome in humans and is recognized as an important occupational disease in many industrial countries.3 Cattle are the primary reservoir for L. borgpetersenii serovar hardjo, resulting in maintenance infections that are often chronic and subclinical in nature but that can cause economic loss to cow-calf and dairy operations.4
