2003年，在日本西南部奄美群岛的与鹿岛进行了钩端螺旋体调查。从野鼠体内分离到7株钩端螺旋体，经鉴定为钩端螺旋体L.通过flaB、16 SrDNA和gyrB序列测定，确定了Borgpetersenii血清型，通过显微镜凝集试验确定了爪哇血清型。NotI-长限制性片段分析表明，这些菌株是遗传上无法区分的分离从冲绳。结果表明，L. borgpetersenii正在迁移到日本的奄美群岛。
In 2003, a Leptospira survey was performed on Yoroshima Island of the Amami Islands located in the southwestern part of Japan. Seven Leptospira strains were isolated from the field rat Rattus rattus, which were identified as L. borgpetersenii by flaB sequencing, 16S rDNA sequencing and gyrB sequencing, and serovar Javanica wag determined by a microscopic agglutination test. NotI-long restriction fragment analysis indicated that these isolates were genetically indistinguishable from an isolate from the Okinawa Islands. The present results suggest that L. borgpetersenii is migrating into the Amami Islands in Japan.
