Abstract
In dogs, usually leptosirosis is described as a fatal icterohemorragic disease. But Leptopires are classified in 23 serogroups and each of t hem could infect the dogs inducing mild to severe clinical signs. Vacc ination, performed only against 2 of these serogroups, partially prote cts the animals. Clinical and biological diagnosis is very tidious.
