摘要：
We tested the urine and saliva of 137 wild rats (Rattus norvegicus) from Vancouver, Canada, for the presence of Leptospira spp. Only one saliva sample was found positive and two were suspect, all from urine-positive rats (n=81), indicating that active shedding of leptospires in saliva is unlikely to occur.
