This study investigated the role of wildlife\u2013livestock interactions in the transmission cycle of\n                    <jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic>\n                    spp. Serum samples (for Microscopic Agglutination Test \u2013 MAT, considering dilutions\u2009\u2265\u20091:100 with \u2265\u200950% agglutination as reactive) and kidney tissues (for\n                    <jats:italic>lipL32<\/jats:italic>\n                    PCR) were collected from 28 small mammals, including 14 marsupials and 14 rodents. All samples were seronegative by MAT; however, 15\/28 (53.6%) kidney samples were PCR-positive, including 9\/14 (64.3%) marsupials and 6\/14 (42.9%) rodents. Additionally, 66 bovine serum samples from a dairy farm in the same area were analyzed by MAT, with 60\/66 (90.9%) testing seropositive revealing high antibody titers (800), predominantly against serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (10%), followed by Sejroe (1.6%). Serogroup Pomona showed 1.6% of titers at 400. These findings suggest that small mammals might have played a significant role in the transmission and maintenance of pathogenic leptospires in the studied area, potentially acting as reservoirs and contributing to cattle infection. However, the observed infection patterns may also reflect indirect transmission routes, such as environmental persistence of leptospires in soil and water, or the involvement of additional, uninvestigated reservoir hosts within the agroecosystem. Therefore, small mammals sharing habitats with livestock should be considered important in leptospirosis epidemiology. Further studies evaluating leptospiral survival in environmental substrates, applying molecular typing to identify circulating strains, and conducting broader host surveillance are necessary to better elucidate transmission dynamics.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11250-026-05345-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T18:44:19Z","timestamp":1789670659000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cross-sectional investigation of pathogenic Leptospira at the wildlife\u2013livestock interface in a Cerrado\u2013Atlantic Forest ecotone, Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Rafael Quirino","family":"Moreira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pollyanna Mafra","family":"Soares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa do Nascimento","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rick Anderson Freire","family":"Mangueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bruno Cabral","family":"Pires","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugo Libonati","family":"de Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0089-4035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Carolina Guimar\u00e3es","family":"Fenelon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Walter","family":"Lilenbaum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna Monteiro Correia","family":"Lima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3\u20134","key":"5345_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetmic.2009.03.012","volume":"140","author":"B Adler","year":"2010","unstructured":"Adler B, Moctezuma AP (2010) Leptospira and leptospirosis.
