Weils Disease


Recommended Posts


Trapped a number of rats last season for a girl doing her research project on trying to isolate lepto, they had to be fairly fresh rats as the lepto which resides in the kidneys denatures after a short period following death, i had to disect the rat and store the kidneys for her to collect, she was also looking at lepto in other various rodents, mice, voles even got her a stoat or two, still awaiting her results and the recognition ? lol, it will be interesting to see if the rats i trapped where carrying the disease, i trapped 70+ rats last season so inevitably a number of them must have had it, with regards prevention from contracting lepto, plenty of alcohol spray, wipes etc and just to be aware of the fact that the disease is present and to keep this in mind while carrying out ones duties.
