Table 3 Reisolation of Leptospira from urine and kidney. Pigs were vaccinated twice (4-week interval) and challenged with different Leptospira serovar (sv) and serogroup (sg) challenge strains, 6 weeks after first vaccination. Urine was sampled regularly and kidney samples were collected during necropsy 4w after challenge. A pig was considered shedding if at least once a positive urine isolation was found

From: Erratum to: A novel octavalent combined Erysipelas, Parvo and Leptospira vaccine provides (cross) protection against infection following challenge of pigs with 9 different Leptospira interrogans serovars
