对来自澳大利亚西澳大利亚州和新南威尔士州的4个犬群中可培养肠道螺旋体的患病率进行了检查，并评估了该生物体与腹泻的相关性。来自西澳大利亚州2个原住民社区的犬粪便样本（n= 76，17.1%阳性）和新南威尔士州1例（n= 35，14.3%阳性），西澳大利亚珀斯的一个狗避难所，（n= 54，24.1%阳性）和访问西澳大利亚默多克大学兽医医院的狗（n= 38，18.4%阳性）进行了检查。总患病率为18.7%。粪便样本被分为“正常”、“异常”或“水样”，21.2%的样本为“异常”，10.7%为“水样”。11.3%的“正常”样本含有螺旋体，而34.9%的“异常”样本含有螺旋体，36.8%的“水样”样本含有螺旋体，两者均显著高于“正常”样本，但彼此无显著差异。它的结论是，澳大利亚的狗往往是殖民地弱溶血性肠道螺旋体，粪便中的有机体的存在显着相关的腹泻的发生。
The prevalence of culturable intestinal spirochaetes in 4 dog populations from Western Australia and New South Wales, Australia, was examined and the association of the organisms with diarrhoea was assessed. Samples of faeces from dogs from 2 Aboriginal communities, 1 in Western Australia (n= 76, 17.1% positive) and 1 in New South Wales (n= 35, 14.3% positive), a dog refuge in Perth, Western Australia, (n= 54, 24.1% positive) and dogs visiting the Murdoch University Veterinary Hospital, Western Australia, (n= 38, 18.4% positive) were examined. The overall prevalence was 18.7%. Faecal samples were classed as 'normal', 'abnormal' or 'watery', and 21.2% of samples were 'abnormal' and 10.7% were 'watery'. 11.3% of the 'normal' samples contained spirochaetes, while 34.9% of the 'abnormal' samples did and 36.8% of the 'watery' samples, both significantly higher levels than the 'normal' samples, but not significantly different from each other. It is concluded that Australian dogs are often colonized by weakly haemolytic intestinal spirochaetes, and the presence of the organisms in faeces is significantly associated with the occurrence of diarrhoea.
