- •
We studied the occurrence of anti-Leptospira spp. antibodies in captive rattlesnakes.
- •
90% of the snakes were positive in the microscopic agglutination test.
- •
Most frequent serovars were Javanica, Andamana and Patoc.
- •
These snakes can present high titers despite the absence of clinical symptoms.
- •
We focus on the importance of leptospirosis as an occupational zoonosis.
