WASHINGTON, D.C. - A
national center to fight an elusive
disease that causes heavy
livestock losses has been
established by two agencies of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Terry B. Kinney, Administrator
of USDA’s Agricultural Research
Service, said work at the National
Leptospirosis Reference Center in
Ames, lowa, should lead to faster
and more accurate diagnosis of
leptospirosis and the development
of better vaccines and drugs to
prevent and treat it.
Kinney said leptospirosis is an
immediate economic concern in
agriculture because it inflicts
losses estimated at $5O million a
year on livestock producers.
Difficulty comes in diagnosis
and treatment of leptospirosis
despite its origin from only one
species of bacterium, say USDA
researchers. A big problem is that
the disease embrases more than
150 look-alike strains or serotypes
that still are evolving worldwide.
Kinney said the newcenter wID
be operated under a memorandum
of understanding between USDA’s
Agricultural Research Service and
USDA’s Animal and Plant Realty
Inspection Service.
Kinney said at least $250,000 will
be used for research to support the
new reference center.
