dc.description | The aim of this study was to determine antibodies against five serovars of Leptospira spp in guinea pigs of family-commercial breeding in Cajamarca, Peru. Blood samples were collected from 242 apparently healthy guinea pigs destined for consumption on five farms. The sera were processed using the microagglutination test (MAT), considering titers >1/100 as seropositive. Reference strains from the serovars Bratislava, Canicola, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae and Pomona were used. Seroprevalences of 40.50% (98/242) (95% CI: 34.3-46.7%) were found to antibodies against Leptospira spp. The reactive serovars were Icterohaemorrhagiae (19.01%, 46/242), Canicola (16.53%, 40/242) and Pomona (8.68%, 21/144). There was no seroreactivity to Bratislava and Hardjo serovars. There was no statistical association with sex or farm. Seropositivity indicates exposure and circulation of Leptospira spp, which represents a public and animal health risk. | en-US |

Se colectaron muestras de sangre de 242 cuyes, aparentemente sanos y destinados a consumo de cinco granjas. Los sueros fueron procesados mediante la prueba de microaglutinación (MAT), considerando títulos >1/100 de serorreactividad como seropositivos. Se utilizaron cepas de referencia de los serovares Bratislava, Canicola, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae y Pomona. Se encontraron seroprevalencias de 40.50% (98/242) (IC95%: 34.3-46.7%) de anticuerpos contra Leptospira spp. Los serovares reactivos fueron Icterohaemorrhagiae (19.01%, 46/242), Canicola (16.53%, 40/242) y Pomona (8.68%, 21/144). No hubo serorreactividad para los serovares Bratislava y Hardjo. No hubo asociación estadística con las variables sexo o granja. La seropositividad indica exposición y circulación de Leptospira spp, lo cual representa un riesgo de salud pública y salud animal. | es-ES |
