N1  - History of Leptospirosis and Leptospira -- Systematics of Leptospiraceae -- Leptospiral Structure, Physiology and Metabolism -- Genomics, Proteomics and Genetics of Leptospira -- Leptospirosis in Humans -- Animal Leptospirosis -- The Molecular Basis of Leptospiral Pathogenesis -- The Leptospiral Outer Membrane -- Host Response to Leptospira Infection -- Vaccines Against Leptospirosis -- The Role of Leptospirosis Reference Laboratories
N2  - This volume covers all aspects of infection by pathogenic Leptospira species, the causative agents of the world’s most widespread zoonosis. Topics include aspects of human and animal leptospirosis as well as detailed analyses of our current knowledge of leptospiral structure and physiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, genomics, immunity and vaccines. Updates are presented on leptospiral systematics, identification and diagnostics, as well as practical information on culture of Leptospira. Contact information is also provided for Leptospira reference centers. All chapters were written by experts in the field, providing an invaluable reference source for scientists, veterinarians, clinicians and all others with an interest in leptospirosis.
