Leptospira mayottensis

Leptospira mayottensis is a pathogenic species of Leptospira in the family Leptospiracea. As causative agents of Leptospirosis they primarily infect humans, livestock, dogs, and small mammals. They are endemic to the island of Mayotte located in the Indian ocean, as well as being found in Madagascar. L. mayottensis is closely related to Leptospira borgpetersenii.

Genome
The genome of L. mayottensis is around 4.1 Mbp in size and consists of two chromosomes. The L. mayottensis genome has a GC content of 39.5%. The plasmid was constructed by combining the E. coli plasmid, pMAT, with a genomic island isolated from L. mayottensis strain 200901116. == Biology ==
Biology
Morphology The morphology of leptospires is similar across species. L. mayottensis are helical, with wavelength and amplitude both around 0.5 μm. Cells have a diameter of around 0.2 μm, and length of ±9.21 μm. They additionally have the 'hooked end' often associated with Leptospira. == References ==
