Abstract

We report natural infections by pathogenic Leptospira of two rodent species endemic to Chile: the degu (Octodon degus) and Darwin's pericote (Phyllotis darwini). We detected Leptospira DNA in kidney and urine samples taken in different years and sites, reaching 33% infection. The effects of infection in these species requires further evaluation.
