Experimental infection of lactating goats with Leptospira interrogans serovars pomona and hardjo. 1985

D N Tripathy, and L E Hanson, and M E Mansfield, and J P Thilsted

Pathogenesis of Leptospira interrogans serovars pomona and hardjo was evaluated in 14 lactating goats. Although mild clinical signs of leptospiral infection characterized by pyrexia and reduction in milk yield appeared in some animals, a consistent clinical pattern was not observed in the inoculated animals. The pomona serovar was isolated from the kidney of 1 of the 4 goats inoculated with serovar pomona. The hardjo serovar (strain UI 750) was isolated in the rabbit serum-supplemented bovine albumin polysorbate-80 liquid medium only from the mammary gland of 1 of 4 goats at 13 days after inoculation with serovar hardjo. The positive culture was detected after an 8-month incubation period.

The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
