Abstract

Background and Objective: Leptospirosis is a zoonosis that is more common in tropical and semitropical regions and is endemic in Guilan province. In endemic region, only a limited number of pathogenic serovars are common, characterization of them is very important step in detecting the main reservoir(s) of the disease. This study was performed to isolate LEPTOSPIRES from RICE FARMs, irrigation canals and rivers of eastern part of flat area of Guilan province to detect main endemic serotypes of leptospirosis.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive and cross - sectional study samples were taken from 8 cities of the area of Guilan province, Noth of IRAN between May to September of 2007. Two ml of any processed WATER sample was inoculated in liquid EMJH medium with 200mg/ml 5-flurouracil after filtration, were incubated in 30oc for 3 monthes, and were checked by darkfiel microscopy every two weeks. All positive samples were serotyped by using 30 type antisera which were main representative of serogroups.Results: 47 0f 320 specimens were positive and 273 samples were negative. One saprophytic specie (Biflexa) including two serogroups (Andamana, and Semaranga) and three pathogenic species (Interrogans, Kireshnerii, and Boirgpetersenii) including 6 serogroups were detected Icterohaemorrhagiae, Pomona, and canicola of interrogans, Hardjobovis and Sejroea of Borgpeterseni pecie, Grippotyphosa of Kircshneri. Non-pathogenic serogroups were found from surface WATER, but the pathogenic serogroup were detected only from RICE FARM WATER.Conclusion: The high incidence of leptospirosis in rual area concide with seasonal rice cultivation, which can be due to trafic of domestic animal in RICE FARMs and elevation temprature, and activity of RICE FARM WATER with subsequent presence of pathogenic type and serotypes in RICE FARM.
