Leptospirosis, considered to be the most widespread zoonoses in the world, is caused by serovars belonging to 7 pathogenic species of the genus Leptospira, viz. L. borgpetersenii, L. inadai, L. interrogans, L. kirschneri, L. noguchii, L. santarosai, and L. weilii (Ramadass et al. 1992). This paper reports the development of molecular technique for detecion of pathogenic Leptospira species by PCR amplification of a partial fragment of the major outer- membrane lipoprotein LipL32 gene, whose protein appears to be an important virulence factor (Haake et al. 2000, Yang et al. 2002), confined to pathogenic strains of all Leptospira spp. The technique could detect majority of serovars of L. interrogans, viz. icterohaemorrhagiae, canicola, autumnalis, javonica, pomona, pyrogenes, australis; L. borgpetersenii serovar Hardjobovis, and L. inadai.
