Abstract
⺠We report the first isolation of pathogenic Leptospira from white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris) in Brazil. ⺠The Leptospira isolate was virulent for hamster model. ⺠Molecular typing identified the new strain Leptospira borgpetersenii serovar Castellonis. ⺠The use of the new isolate improved MAT sensitivity on dog sera.
