To track the source of infection and understand the aetiological characteristics, we performed surveillance for field mice carriage of leptospirosis in 2011. Four strains of leptospire were isolated from<jats:italic>Apodemus agrarius<\/jats:italic>. PCR confirmed the four isolates as pathogenic. Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) showed that the four strains were closely related to serovar Lai strain 56601 belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae, which is consistent with the antibody detection results from local patients. Furthermore, the diversity of leptospiral isolates from different hosts and regions was demonstrated with MLVA. Our results suggest that<jats:italic>A. agrarius<\/jats:italic>may be the main carrier of<jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic>in Jinping and Liping counties, and the serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar may be the epidemic serogroup of<jats:italic>Leptospira<\/jats:italic>. This will contribute to the control and prevention of leptospirosis in these localities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268813000216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,13]],"date-time":"2013-02-13T14:08:53Z","timestamp":1360764533000},"page":"2278-2285","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Molecular typing of<i>Leptospira<\/i>spp. strains isolated from field mice confirms a link to human leptospirosis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"141","author":[{"given":"S.
