Leptospirosis Nucleic Acid Test Kit (Lyophilized)

Leptospirosis is a typical zoonotic disease. After pets are infected, they may become a source of infection for humans. Especially for family members who are in close contact with pets, if no protective measures are taken, they may be infected by contacting contaminated urine or the environment. Therefore, when dealing with pets infected with leptospirosis, pet owners should pay attention to hygiene, avoid direct contact with their urine or feces, and take good personal protection.

Harm to pets:

Leptospira poses a serious health threat to pets, especially dogs. It may cause symptoms such as fever, kidney failure, liver damage, jaundice, and can even be fatal. Pets usually become infected by contacting contaminated water or the urine of infected animals. Regular vaccination, avoiding high-risk environments, and maintaining environmental hygiene are key measures to prevent leptospirosis infection. At the same time, these measures can also reduce the risk of zoonosis.

Harm to humans:

The symptoms of leptospirosis are wide-ranging, ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to severe multi-organ failure. The course of the disease can be divided into two stages:
·Initial stage (acute stage): One to two weeks after infection, symptoms appear, often manifested as fever, headache, muscle pain (especially in the calves and back), chills, nausea, vomiting, conjunctival congestion, etc.
·Severe stage: Some patients will develop a more severe form of the disease, such as jaundice, kidney failure, bleeding, myocarditis and meningitis, which is called Weil's disease. Weil's disease is a severe form of leptospirosis with a relatively high mortality rate, especially when not treated in time.
