Molecular Evidence of <i>Leptospira</i> spp. Infection Among Household Dogs From 15 Municipalities of the Department of Caldas, Colombia
We confirm the presence of Leptospira spp. closely related with L. interrogans and L. santarosai among household dogs from seven municipalities of Caldas department. These results highlight the need to improve the care of household dogs in Caldas department since they could eventually become important sources of infection of leptospirosis.
