The first isolation of Leptospira interrogans serovar pomona from cattle in Botswana. 1983

S Herr, and G M Winnen

Serological evidence for the occurrence of L. pomona associated with abortions in cattle was supported by the successful isolation of the organism from the urine of a cow. Leptospirosis should be considered as a possible cause of abortion even in relatively dry regions.
