“…Bovine genital leptospirosis (BGL) has been proposed as a dissociated syndrome from renal/systemic disease [ 15 ]. Evidence from studies conducted in semiarid areas in livestock (bovine, sheep, swine and goats) have shown that even in the adverse environmental conditions of a semiarid region, leptospires may survive and propagate by the genital alternative route of transmission [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. These findings are important because in such areas the indirect transmission routes are impaired due to the adverse climate conditions for Leptospira spp.…”
