Abstract
The microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is considered the “golden standard” leptospirosis serodiagnostic test, but there is little information about it as it pertains to snakes. To fill this information gap, we provide data on serovars and titers of fifty-six Crotalus durissus collilineatus sera samples that tested positive by MAT (10.1016/j.actatropica.2016.02.006 (Rodrigues et al., 2016) [5]). These data are presented in a table, along with a description of the methodology used for sample collection and serologic testing.
Highlights
Data on serovars and titers of serologic positive C. durissus collilineatus were features obteined using microscopic agglutination test (MAT)
These data can be compared with MAT results from reptile breeding centers and zoos around the world, aiding in the development of future comparative studies
The animals belonged to the Reptile Sector (Conservation Breeding Center for Scientific Purposes) of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) and were sent to the breeding center by environmental authorities or by members of the community, because they were found in rural, peri-urban and urban areas of the cities of Uberlândia and Araguari, Minas Gerais state
Summary
These data can be compared with MAT results from reptile breeding centers and zoos around the world, aiding in the development of future comparative studies. These data provide a basis for future epidemiologic studies and may facilitate the study design of future researches on the theme. These data may encourage further research on rattlesnake zoonotic diseases. Each animal listed (under a specific identification sequence) was positive to at least one serovar. Sex and positive serovars with respective titers are provided.
