Serology reagents intended to detect antibodies to species of Leptospira, a genus of finely coiled, motile bacteria of the family Leptospiraceae. Leptospira interrogans is typically the species that is pathologic to humans, causing leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is acquired directly by contact with the urine or tissue of infected animals (e.g., rodents, dogs) or indirectly by contact with contaminated water, soil, or vegetation.
